Many find Jorge Ameer's films very polarizing. I find them refreshing and original. In "The Dark Side of Love" two brothers who hate each other must come to terms with their differences amids the death of their mother. Both are living very different lives, yet both are suffering. One has a love he can't have whilte the other brother is spiraling out of control due to his addicition. His girlfriend fuels his addiction in a negatively supportive way.

What I like about this movie that is so moving is its portrayal of real life. It touched me because my family has had its share of trouble with siblings and its all about letting by gones be by gones. I found myself tearing up at the end as you don't really know what faith will bring both brothers, but you do know that the mother brought a certain safety net into their lives that is no longer there. We will all have to live through this and you can only hope that you will be surrounded by supportive loved ones. In the film, Julian has to deal with both the mothers death, pilling bills, a several rocky relationships which is what makes the story so much more real and touching. You really feel for the characters, even the brother because you know that even though there is some good in him, the path he chose will end in demise. There are other plots that add to the story, but this film will really make you think about the kind of relationship you have with you family now and will hopefully give you the will to want to mend any lingering family issues before its too late.

I saw this film in New York City last November and was impressed and the beautiful scenes from Santorini. The story was very dark and disturbing. Allan Dawson (Keith Roenke) is a top executive, rich beyond avarice with a beautiful lover named Sylvia (Torie Tyson). With wealth and power. Outwardly you would think that he'd be one happy man, but he finds none of it to be satisfying. Bored and detached. The opportunity to get away from it all comes quite unexpectedly when his grandmother passes and he is left with a small island estate in picturesque Greece. With the pretense of heading off to investigate his inheritance — leaving Sylvia behind (he's got to figure out a way to get out of that relationship) — he packs up and jets off to his hoped- to-be island paradise (filmed in around Santorini).The path that the filmmaker takes us down is totally unexpected. Once Allan arrives at the estate, he discovers a naked, perhaps even feral man cowering in a locked room. It is a mystery how he got there, but it is D'Agostino (Michael Angels) of the film's title The film get dark and very weird from there.

Don't want to give away too much, but all I have to say is that you must see this to believe it. I personally loved it. its intriguing and fresh. Its has a horror sci fi ending that is very satistfying. recommended.
