All About
Captain Corelli's MandolinC
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Lisa Schwarzbaum is a film critic for EW
This adaptation of Louis De Bernieres' book-club favorite turns the historical novel into a travel brochure: Pearl Harbor for the English Patient crowd. Directed, with no points for subtlety, by Shakespeare in Love's John Madden, it features Nicolas Cage as an Italian captain who falls in love with a Greek maiden (Penélope Cruz). Both performers are such slo-mo creatures, so prone to conveying dampness when they aim for smolder, that the passion between them is indistinguishable from the affection the captain shows for his mandolin.
