Orpheus' Song

Despite the plot involving two very good looking, very straight looking friends who end up having sex with each other (the recipe of 90% of gay coms) the actual development makes no sense. The actors can barely hide the improbability of what happens, the audience is left baffled by the lack of foretelling. The locations are beautiful though and really make you want to visit the island of Corfu'... just don't expect 2 gym bros making out on the beach.

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.

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

Short and sweet, Orpheus' Song is an exercise in slowly building sexual tension. The chemistry between the two leads is intoxicating, and the scenery almost as gorgeous as Philipp (a luminous Sascha Weingarten).
