Review of Belle Epoque

Belle Epoque (1992)
8/10
Great romantic comedy with some not too important flaws
20 July 2000
Great romantic comedy. Erotically charged in a way I don't remember ever seeing. Heartwarming, hilarious... A lot of beautiful ladies with beautifully played interesting personalities. The latter part is of course totally missing of usual R-rated erotic flicks. So, from one point of view it indeed is an extremely simple plot which shamelessly plays on eroticism. But it does it so damn well, that I am certain I won't forget this one a *long* time.

The only flaw for me was that the Fernando character totally fails to portray a guy in love in the end of the movie. Up to that point everything was just great.

So, 10 out of 10 for warmth, eroticism and comedy during most of the movie, but below par for romantic drama in the last quarter.
