A movie your mother could watch., April 6, 2002
By A Customer
Cynara was my first experience with Lesbian Erotica. I thought I had stumbled on a wonderful genre, and ordered several similar (so I thought) videos for my collection.After viewing the other videos including Siren, Goodbye Emma Jo, and Et L'Amour, my collection now numbers 1. Compared to Cynara, the others were so inferior it hurt my eyes to watch them. Cynara has beautiful women, beautiful poetry, beautiful music, the sea, and horses. While it has a few rough edges (cinematography) for the most part, it is done in good taste, a real "ladies" movie. I think my mother would approve. This film is not about sex or love but of passion and desire. The actresses are thoughtfully paired. You get the feeling that both women are Lesbians, not straight actresses pretending to be attracted to each other. Melissa Hellman (Byron) is a remarkable beauty. Her eyes, hands, face, hair, and wonderfully sculpted body lend themselves to this period piece (set in 1883)...
