Orpheus' Song

This film looks that came from a horny teenager who is trying to reveal his true identity. Everything seems fake in this. I was painful to watch. It starts with a simple minds (band) quote. Simple minds! I rest my case.

We've all meet someone and felt that "alternative" chemistry. This movie just so happens to set up the perfect scenery and libatious mix to where inhibitions are lowered and urges explored.

...now the however...I would have enjoyed this being a mini series where we can realistically see the tumultuous connection between the two, which over time would have made it easier to validify the ending.

The actors are quite convincing, but there is no build-up to where the story finally ends. It just happens for no apparent reason!

The relationship between the two leads isn't quite "no homo!" as there are hints and signs that there might once have been a little more than friendship between them. They both present as straight but Enis's girlfriend implies that gay friends of theirs might like to be around Phillip.

They are workout buddies who go on a free trip to Greece. Some reviewers and the summary/plot writer here on IMDB seem to think that their meeting with Hercules was some sort of mystical awakening. It was not; it was a tourist scam carried out by a peasant playing on credulity and I could see it coming from afar. The subsequent events were what could happen with any couple of supposedly straight lads in a bromance.

Back in Berlin life was tough for both of them dealing with reality again and with the reverberations of their experiences in the intoxicating atmosphere of Corfu.

Someone had to be hurt in the end. I don't want this to be a spoiler review so I leave it to the viewer to find out who it is.

I enjoyed this film. The lads are real goodlookers and the scenery is fabulous. The storyline was realistic and held the interest. I'd advise people to try it out.

This was a very gentle love story told to us when a strong friendship turned into much more on a holiday trip to Greece it was well acted, slow in places, but the relationship between the two men was very well done.

The camerawork was ravishing along with the score, overall I enjoyed this movie very much
