Audience Member Una pelicula muy extraña. Las secuencias largas parecen ser habituales en el modo de filmar de Manoel de Oliveira (prolifico y veterano cineasta portugues) y no es para personas acostumbradas al cine hollywoodense ni para los que se distraen fácilmente, pues las secuencias de las charlas en el barco o las largas tomas de paisajes de distintos paises del mediterraneo se toman su tiempo, fácil de 5 a 10 minutos que "retan" la paciencia del espectador no acostumbrado, pero ofrece un quehacer intelectual al espectador interesado. Lo de extraña mas que nada lo digo por el muy estrepitoso final. Recomendable de observar. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A mother takes her daughter to a cruise trip through Mediterranean Sea. She teaches her story and gets in touch with three European women and the ship's captain. Everyone speaks his own language... That's why it's a "Talking picture", a meeting among people of several cultures. The dialogue follow the everyday life. The film seems to be very calm and seems to tell simply a friendship story, until the final scene...

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A tepid, awkward travelogue interrupted by tepid, awkward dinner-table philosophy and put to rest by an awkward ending apparently intended to imbue the film with meaning through tragedy. The only success in the film was capturing John Malkovich's expression at the end of the movie and holding that one successful moment frozen through the credits. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member i had imagined this film to be a satiric attack on the EU, but just realized it is the director's response to the violence and brutality of Sep 11th. however, i enjoyed the dialogue between the mature little girl and her attractive, empathetic mom.
