Mediterraneo (1991)
7/10
Different Kind Of Comedy-Drama
22 May 2006
This was a pretty solid comedy-drama about a group of Italian soldiers who spent World War II on a Greek Island. That doesn't sound too exciting, but it's interesting and there are some very funny lines in the film.

Like many of the European films I own, it features good storytelling and interesting characters although most of the men in here are just stupid, or simply a different mindset than what we have over here. People talk to each other differently than what I've ever heard in the U.S.

The female lead, Vanna Barba, looks terrific as does the camera-work in general. I didn't see a "rating" on my VHS box but I would rate it an "R" for usages of the f-word and some brief nudity. Any film that looks this good on VHS should be seen on DVD, which I look forward to doing.
