It doesn't happen to me very often, even when I'm tired, but during Captain Corelli's Mandolin, I fell asleep for the last half hour. It was as if nothing else was going to happen, but you have to wait for that final meeting, which is ultimately necessary. It’s a lengthy romance that did little to show the horrors of war, though the film did do a great job in one scene.

Apart from Penélope, everything about this movie is wrong. And the worst of all is Nicholas Cage, who shouldn’t get such roles at all. Because what he shows here turns a drama into a comedy. The only thing left to admire in this movie are the beautiful locations of the Cephalonia Island, thanks to which I’ve become even fonder of Greece than before.

Throughout the film I felt that John Madden wanted to make an Oscar-worthy masterpiece. The beautiful locations, the pleasant atmosphere, and the skillful camera work keep the viewer engaged, and Penélope Cruz’s role was tailor-made for her. However, all that effort was pointless, as the film lacks the characteristics and parameters of a dramatically mature blockbuster and drowns in mediocrity.
