Mediterraneo (1991) User Reviews Review this title 47 Reviews. Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2012. Wonderful cinematography & philosophy - highly recommended, A beautiful postcard from Mediterranean world, Kind, funny and slightly lyric movie... about war. The movie itself is wonderful, beautiful amazing and simple story. The one start is for the quality of the DVD. We work hard to protect your security and privacy. The dialog among the soldiers is so quintessentially Italian and funny, that a dubbed version would lose almost everything in translation. Esta es una historia de amor, amistad, dudas e incertidumbre para la poblacion de una isla griega que fue visitada por un grupo de soldados italianos en la II Guerra Mundial, que lo menos que querian era saber de la guerra. The story of a small group of Italian soldiers (they're not actually very soldier-like) stranded on a beautiful Greek island during Second World War is very nicely depicted by director Gabriele Salvatores.

I was awake at 3:00AM with insomnia the first time I saw this film. I think part of the positive message of the movie is that it indeed is possible to find happiness and purpose. Gabriele Salvatores' antiwar story Mediterraneo is set during World War II on a seemingly deserted island in the middle of the Aegean Sea. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. The island is a star, but the story and atmosphere of this film is what really carries one away. The locations are terrific, the plot development is subtle but never boring, and it's a joy to watch a film that encourages you to lean forward and savor it, rather than one that pins you in your seat with technology and effects.

The movie itself is wonderful, beautiful amazing and simple story.

So it appears pretty credible what happened in the movie, between acts of humanity, friendship, inner struggles. I hope this is only available in the original Italian with subtitles. Hide Spoilers ... end is very powerful and it is no accident that Salvatore shows us the Lieutenant returning to the island on a ferry full of burnt-pink tourists.

As such, it could not be greater escapism for all of us watching; the only way would be to travel to Greece ourselves! They escaped the reality of their desertion periodically with drugs, sex and games. I've had this on VHS for so long now, I don't even how old I was when I first bought it.

Actually, the island isn't deserted and when the Greeks understand that those Italians are harmless, they came out of their hiding places in the mountains and continue their peaceful lives.

My verdict: 10 / 10. An Italian ship leaves a handful of soldiers in a little island; their mission is to spot enemy ships and to hold the island in case of attack. Director's words "I'd like to dedicate this film to people who want to run away" says all. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2019, Fantastic, I saw this film years ago and was so pleased to watch it again via DVD sadly not on Netflix or Amazon, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2019, This had no English subtitles.

Film, 'Shithouse' Interviews with Cooper Raiff & Jay Duplass. Those people were the finest part of humanity you could ask to be with. I ran across this movie years ago on VHS in a video store. A movie that Americans cannot make cause they haven't experienced wars like the ones that were led on European ground.
