Snoozefest.

[dbrown-070204 · 5/10 · 13 June 2004]

This review contains spoilers.

Man, this movie was boring. Here's the plot (try not to get too excited now). There's this blind woman. She plays the cello on the beach. She gets hired by this ugly Russian guy to help him perform his newest concerto. He's been sitting around getting drunk since his wife died. She can't play very well so he helps her get better by having sex with prostitutes. This makes her go sleep with her roommate's boyfriend. Then he makes her have sex in front of all these people with masks. But he leaves the room before she's finished. This makes her mad, so she goes and gets eye surgery and she can see again. Then she and ugly Russian guy perform his concerto and then they have sex.

Not even the sex scenes can redeem this movie. I'm not even sure how many of them there were since they were filmed so "artsy" that half the time, I couldn't figure out if I was even watching sex. And the ones that were clearly sex scenes weren't very memorable.

I can't recommend this one at all.

Yawn... Should appeal only for fans of erotic art cinema.

Well I caught this one at midnight. It aired on MGM. I didn't expect anything from it. And that's exactly what I got: nothing.

The sex? Nothing great. In fact, most scenes are intended to be artsy but fail and only look generic. Like any other mediocre soft core effort from the 90's.

This pseudo artistic techniques used in these kind of movies don't work. Plus, there is even a sex scene takes place during a lap dance and totally removes the artsy look of the film.

The women aren't that attractive and the plot is boring. Expect plenty of violins, settings involving water and fire, but zero steam and originality.

This is one to ignore.

A taste of Indulgence wrapped around a cello

[tfinc-2 · 5/10 · 2 July 2005]

A skin tease flick that attempts to tie in sexual indulgence with a blind womens passion for playing the cello. Coupled with an extrinsic pianist who helps to guide our movies female lead, a story of giving in to inner desires unfolds.

The set design is what i think kept me watching this late night tease. With Ivan's house being one that I wanted to take apart and steal every cool decorative wear from.

Fairly predictable in all of its unilateral plot line, it doesn't leave a lot to the imagination and most characters fall flat of actually being worth remembering but the tie in of sexual desires and musical performance kept me interested enough to watch it in full.

Nothing more than porn.

Oh man, If you're looking for a sexy film - rent "9 1/2 Weeks" - this is nothing more than porn. Notice that the only place it gets play is on the Playboy channel. Big surprise! The same girls you see naked and ACTIVE (and then some) in this flick have also been seen on the pages of Playboy. Talk about leaving nothing to the imagination! (Close your eyes mom-I promise I won't bring her home.) This "film" really didn't have story to tell. It was just another orgy set to music. The vilolin may have class but this project does not.

fantasies explored

[shailley · 5/10 · 18 September 2000]

The film deals with the fantasies of a blind woman who plays the violin. Playing the violin is a sexual release for her, and she uses this act to excite her self, by fantasizing while playing the violin. Otherwise, it is all about flesh display and the bump-and-grind routine.

Lyrical and erotic

[keram · 8/10 · 26 March 2002]

Wonderfully shot, convincingly acted, sensuous and touching, filled with gentle music that adds to the overall lyrical and erotic atmosphere and serves as an effective means to express deepest feelings of the main characters. Nothing was out of balance in this film. Highly recommended.
