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.

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

If there was not enough money, why did they decide to write this in an exotic place? There was no need for that, no need for the "contest". This could easily have happened for more realistic reasons and more scenes could have been filmed tying everything up. There is no chemistry between the two actors and "their moment" is so cold. THe intricacies of it all, the fears, the logistics(!!!)... that would have been interesting to see them argue about, especially when they create a "macho" body-building character. Wouldn't this be a huge deal??? And let's not even talk about the "acting" of the girlfriend or the way Hercules can carry on a conversation in English when he said earlier he "barely" speaks it.

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

The basic sin - the high unrealism of story. The good points - good looking actors, the poetic title, easy frame for a predictible discover about the heart of their friendship,the pomegranate and the confusion of Enis after Corfu, the guide as a sort of Pan , the contrast of complementary friends and the care for physical condition. And,sure, the visit to Achilleon, the beauty of Corfu.With regret, nothing more. Result - a decent film about a powerful friendship,
