The cinematography is gorgeous, but the movie plays it fast and loose with history and the novel it was adapted from. Mostly, the movie fails because the romance between the leads strains credulity and the story is largely uninvolving.

The movie duplicates exactly my experience with the book, although I must say I was thankful to be spared serial outbreaks of hearty Greek dancing. Jan 22, 2002

Captain Corelli's Mandolin is just the latest example of why many books should not be turned into films, literacy should be promoted in our educational institutions and sub-titles should be used on films requiring foreign accents. Nov 6, 2019 | Full Review…
