Beseiged - By: J Maddock, 06 Oct 2005
A slow, thoughtful, moving film. With David Thewlis very much on form. Leaves you with an awareness of the generosity of the human spirit.
An absolute gem of a movie - in my personal top ten. - By: Ashley Jenkins, 29 Sep 2004
When you watch a movie like this it reminds you that filmmaking (in its purest form) is a true art, rather than just a money-making blockbuster enterprise. This is a completely beautiful film, handcrafted in as loving a fashion as any painting or sculpture. Thought has gone into every step of its production; Bernardo Bertolucci & Clare Peploe proving to be the creative force behind a film experience that they, & the wonderfully-amalgemed Thandie Newton/David Thewlis can be forever proud.

Set against the timeless backdrop of the eternal city, this is a modern day parable of the true meaning of love - if necessary alll sacrificing, & far more than a means to an end; an end in itself. Simply wonderful.

An excellent film, heartwrenching. - By: , 16 Dec 2000
This film reallly keeps your attention. It shows the true meaning of love - it gives without asking anything in return. Your heart goes out to Kinsky (Thewlis), as he is willing to part with his dearest posession to help the woman he loves (Newton) re-unite with her husband. The ending leaves you wondering, though!
