Captain Corelli's Mandolin
2001
**
Director: John Madden
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Penelope Cruz, John Hurt, Christian Bale, Irene Papas
The beautiful Mediterranean scenery is the only reason to see this uninspired WW2 love drama set on a Greek island. The film offers a mishmash of accents and characters who never get you involved in the events. The last half an hour doesn't make sense at all. Adapted from the novel by Louis de Bernieres.
