QuickView
Story-line: in 1941, eight Italian soldiers are ordered to take control of a Greek island… and find out that war isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Pluses: a gentle mood, good acting, a paradisiac setting and a logical screenplay by Vincenzo Monteleone.
Minuses: some viewers may find the story a bit lacking in content, which explains this film’s moderate MBiS score.
Comments: MEDITERRANEO, an offbeat film that involves no real violence, depicts stranded soldiers that time forgot. The old motto ‘Make love, not war’ would certainly apply to this competently made and visually appealing movie. Sounds like a pleasant time for cinephiles!
