Don't bother to look
19 September 2004
I was very disappointed with this movie. Usually I enjoy the work of both Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, but this movie was just not up to scratch. Venice was made to look even worse than it is in real life and the lonely locations had more of a feel of 'Omega Man' in a New York slum then the bustling Venice I know. Sutherland managed to partake in another high profile love-making scene similar to his effort in "The Eye of the Needle" where he was lucky enough to be involved with Kate Nelligan, but at least the sex scene made more sense in "The Eye..." than it did in this movie, obviously the movie was so dull and lacked any relief from its grim Gothic like atmosphere that a 'romp in the hay' might lighten it ..... it didn't, except for Donald Sutherland.
