It makes me want to read the book at least! That said, this is often times a dreadful and embarrassing film that buckles under its source material. For something that's supposed to be erotic, it's odd how PG it can often feel. The shining light in this disappointment is probably Caterina Murino.
-
Mena Souvari thought she was acting in a stage play; no one told her this was a film and that she did not need to declare each individual word like that. I’m not familiar with the source material, so I’m not sure how faithful this adaptation was, but Souvari’s mid-Atlantic style speech up against her husband’s very modern-sounding speech was jarring. Waiting until halfway through the movie to start cutting away to the writer’s story was also jarring—there are a lot of minor players introduced in the beginning that never come back around.

I didn't understand what was happening, and is almost... Uncomfortable to watch

This is basically about a throuple with an elephant hunting story. Caterina naked was the best highlight of it.

look i get that not everyone’s a hemingway fan but did he really deserve THIS? the sun shouldn’t have risen on this one... (😏)
furious at whatever sick impulse i have to finish watching movies compelled me to stick it out to the end of this, but at least the costumes helped? (not helpful? that fake ass fish)
probably would have been much more watchable if i had kept it completely muted since the dialogue and music gave me such intense secondhand embarrassment that my therapist will be hearing about it for the next few sessions
-
Despite of good costumes, make up and overall production design, the subpar acting drags the interest down for most of the movie.
Pretty sure Hemingway is not happy with his posthumous book and its film adaptation.

I wasn’t too into this movie. Catherine is seemingly spoiled but wild. Trying to remain open but taking everything so personal. Dramatics. It’s like a lifetime movie... not great. Recommended I would say if you read the book..

Replace me in a chosen vessel, we died our hair platinum, tanned our skin, lived intimately enough for you to become me & I, you, I called you by my name sub coming to my desires changing our pattern of love, but I wanted & wanted & wanted, In those moments we were one, but then I introduced another & now everything's different, now I'm in Paris & you're with her,
I'm alone once more
