Kama Sutra, une histoire d'amour

When I rented KAMA SUTRA - A Tale Of Love, I thought my girlfriend would kill me for what the title implied. We were plesantly suprised to find a Love Story / Drama which, yes, has some very sexy scenes in it. Those looking for a movie version of the ancient text will be disapointed with the reasonable use of sexual content. There is an actual storyline here! This film is about true love, and the struggle for that love in the face of adversity. The love triangle, along with enough character development to explain the relationships between the five main characters, speaks of the human condition.

The story takes place "Once upon a time...". The costumes and sets are really well done. The cinematography is richly textured, with India as the exotic backdrop, and you are transported back into time... and into the lovers' experience.

This movie can take you through a full range of emotions, see it with your significant other, and expect it to effect you for the rest of the night.

The other review was very harsh. The film had some moments of delicacy and the sets were noteworthy. Most of the friends that saw the film with me, rather liked it. If you like India, you will like this film.

This film was wonderfully told to me. The characters where great, the location was magical, and the whole film just left me with a great feeling. I love Indira Varma, she is so beautiful and such a talented actress. The role of Queen Tara portrayed by Sarita Choudhury deserves mention also. I would recommend to anyone with an open mind. Though I was very young when I first watched it, it is for the more mature audience.

Last night I went to the theatres to see MONSOON WEDDING. Such a beautiful movie. This evening I ran to the video store to rent some other titles by the same director. I had seen the display box for KAMA SUTRA a million times, but was afraid it was some boring semi-porn movie. If you're into porn, rent porn, not pretend porn. I watched it tonight, a wonderful movie. Very romantic. Yes there is sex, and violence, and some naughty talk, so you would think all Americans would love it. But the beautiful music, settings, costumes, and people did it for me. Great Flick.

I bought this movie after seeing most of it on Bravo several different times. I really love this movie. It has beautiful imagery and a good plot. I was captivated by the lovely erotic scenes. Although there is a love story in it, the film isn't entirely an happily ever after affair. However, the ending retains the feeling of hope and the fact that love (though not necessarily the lover) survives all things.

A sad, yet hopeful movie. I highly recommend it.
