Even watching this dubbed in German, which meant I didn't get every word, I still enjoyed this. The two young leads turn in excellent performances and the music is always excellent. It's a very standard 'prince in danger helped by kitchen boy' story, but it's very well made of its kind.
This movie about a man on the run for killing a mobster is the kind of film you can watch entirely on fast forward, once you know who's who, and not lose a thing. It has an attractive cast but the plot is a virtual writer's guide to cinema cliche, and boy does the dialogue clunk!
This is a dreary, confusing piece of soft porn masquerading as art. After watching it, I wanted back the life I'd wasted on it. Maybe it has a profound message in there somewhere but I doubt it. The film is as self-absorbed as the people it portrays. And self-absorbed is never a pretty sight.
