01/09/2011 OK, but I liked the Spanish remake better. See more 10/04/2008 Lots of eye candy in this one. A young man is initiated into the joys of sex by an English Countess (or is it duchess?) and then has a string of fortuitous sexual experiences. But, of course, what he is looking for is true love. And, in the end, he finds it. The women are beautiful, the young man is quite handsome, and love conquers all. If you look beyond this facade, however there is a dark undercurrent. The setting is during the Spanish Civil war and the lead up to world war II. Andres is conscripted into the rebel army. His mother is dating a big shot in the fascist party that wins that war. Andres is pressured into joining the party once the war is over. A neighbor is arrested because of his association with free thinkers. The director doesn't dwell on these undercurrents, but they add poignancy to the overlying story. See more 01/30/2008 This tedious coming-of-age sex romp, starring a young, buff Tom Berenger, was notorious at the time of its release for showing a fair amount of nudity and simulated sex; the story itself, however, leaves much to be desired. See more 09/22/2007 I saw this film many years ago and it was quite sexy for the time. My own relationships and partners have mirrored this idea, as they have been with younger men for the most part. See more 09/11/2007 A Canadian film celebrating the beauty and vitality of older women. Karen Black, Susan Strasberg, Alexandra Stewart and the sexy Helen Shaver offer convincing performances as the older women in Hungarian-immigrant Andras Vayda's life. Tom Berenger does his best as Andras despite being a few years older than the character. See more Read all reviews
