Ulysses' Gaze (1995)
Bad Translation
3 July 2002
WARNING : While the Greek language dialogue is eloquently written and acted, the English language dialogue in this movie is dire. The attempt at being poetic doesn't make it into the translation. The first time i saw this movie was on video, i had to turn the sound off and listen to a Portishead album as an alternative sound-track. It's a good movie, but it just goes to show that a director should not work in a language that isn't their first or that they are not 100% fluent in. Erland Josephson, on the other hand, is perfection in any language.
