He is very filled with his own importance and has plans to reform the world, although perhaps he might reflect that his reforms might start by freeing Ah Mei from the brothel. The man, named Chang, often visits her, and between them a friendship and comfort grows. In the second film, “A Time for Freedom,” set in 1911, the woman is named Ah Mei, and she is a prostitute in a brothel. On the soundtrack, Hou uses the 1959 recording by the Platters of “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” That is the song that tells us, They said, some day you’ll find, all who love are blind. When he gets a leave, he hurries back to the pool hall, but she is gone. The camera perfectly composes the room and the light pouring in from an open door, and the woman, named May, moves gracefully and without hurry to rack the balls, arrange the cues, serve the customers. His first story, “A Time for Love,” set in 1966, involves a soldier named Chen on his way to the army, who falls in love with the hostess of a pool hall. You'll want to like him, but all you'll feel is pity.His subject in “Three Times” is our yearning to love and be loved, and the way the world casually dismisses it. It's too bad, because his character is delightful and his portrayal quite charming. He's positively elephantine, and it's sad to see him uncomfortably moving about, climbing stairs and hobbling along a dock. As depicted here, it's not hard to surmise why this talented actor died at the relatively young age of 65. You'll recognize him as Uncle Vernon Dursley from the 'Harry Potter' movies. The late Richard Griffiths is unfortunately unsettling as Modine's fellow scholar. And the incidental Greek characters are suitably bombastic caricatures. The running gag of the three nuns making facetious observations about the story is reminiscent of a '60s Audrey Hepburnish romcom. The Greek isles backdrop is a beautiful picture-postcard of a country that really only exists in movies like this and yogurt commercials.

But if you can overlook that – close your eyes and picture, say, Tim Matheson in the part, instead – the rest of the movie is a pleasant, albeit familiar, delight. Unfortunately, as he does in almost every movie he's in, Matthew Modine practically ruins it with his whiny schlub schtick that's grown more tiresome and annoying ever since it kind of worked for him that one time in 'Married to the Mob.' Even if his character weren't written as a selfish jerk that even his colleagues don't like, it's hard to picture anyone falling for this nasally-voiced, hair-dyed pill. It's an inane premise that only serves to justify the romantic story, and it mostly works, thanks to an almost alchemically charming turn by Scott. Romance and complications arise when he falls for a local widow whose popular restaurant apparently sits just above the ruins where the artifact may lay buried.

John the Evangelist (who appears to be some kind of patron saint in this community). The plot, which is inconsequential in these kinds of films, concerns an American archaeologist who travels to an unnamed Greek island in search of the biblical cup of poison rejected by St. Her strong, independent character, charming allure and healthy beauty are reminiscent of '80s actress Diane Franklin, who unfortunately was never given the opportunity to carry a film such as this. The major draw in this totally harmless and formulaic romantic comedy is the absolutely effervescent Agni Scott as the female lead. It's a smile, laddie.Ī salute to the sun and the breeze and the color of the sea. It's the lubricant that smoothes out the rough patches on these roads. It's not just a drink, it's a way of life. When God made the grape, He said, 'Give it to the Greeks, they know what to do with it.' : Look at that: one hundred percent Greek - produced nowhere else on the planet.
