Spring

The uploaded one isn't the spring of 2014 it's the one of 2021

If you don't care about representations of women in movies, then my review probably doesn't pertain to you. The very low opinion of women that the people who produced this movie have is egregious and apparent throughout (dialogue, etc.). Whedon-esque putting-an-untouchable-woman-on-a-pedestal ensues but this movie actually takes it a step further by neutering the female lead completely. She goes along with whatever the abysmally mediocre American dude says and it's ridiculous. She's been alive for a millennia or so and she gives up her immortality to this incredibly average white dude who basically spent the night coercing her to do it. I guess dreams do come true. Feminism aside, this movie tries too hard to impress you with its own perceived intellect.

Desperate dude flees a strange land and ends up with a strange sexpot. Lots to praise. The dialogue is very good, especially when the two leads are getting together, with good acting. And it's shot nicely in beautiful Italian locations, although the tone is dull. But it doesn't hang together. The sequence with the English tourists is throwaway, and as the coils of the plot tighten around the actors' throats you can sense their professional eyes bulging in terror at the silliness of what the directors are forcing on them. By that point the dialogue really is stumbling, with a long stretch of bogus exposition, and I heard the phrase, "inbred paedophile" drop to the floor with a clang. Sometimes it's an adventure romance, sometimes a comedy horror, and the backdrop is Cthulu with some mild sex thrown in. The music is grim, then it perks up - confusing. Plus 109 mins? Misconceived effort to bring a monstrous birth to the world's light.
