Review of Swept Away (2002) by Tintin_Tintine — 29 Aug 2017
Considering this movie's IMDB 3.60 (13 063 reviews) rating compared to Russian Kinopoisk 5.816 (10 099 reviews) it's evident what's the difference between these two countries is. Americans are like "it's painful to watch thus I'm not watching it" and Russians are "it's so painful to watch and I'm rewatching it when possible".
Masochistic approach. Plus, there's always this "Americans are trashing this movie - must be a good one". And, of course, according to us, Russians did it earlier with cult and still famous "The Fourty-First" (1956) winning award in Cannes.
That's why Lina's version was not original, too. It's a little consolation for Madonna and Guy, of course. But, you know, Fellini was treated as **** before he was awarded at Moscow Film Festival. The only minus of this movie - no Madonna song on soundtrack.
Such a waste.
