The stirring romantic drama that follows a 15-year-old French girl through a clandestine affair with a wealthy Chinese man. Tony Leung and Jane March star. Indochina, 1929. On a ferry a 27-year-old Chinese man spots an alluring but poor French teenager. They soon begin a forbidden but fiercely passionate romance. While the man truly loves the girl, she remains aloof, for her involvement with him is more out of rebellion towards her family -- and for sexual excitement -- rather than love. However when the gentleman is forced to marry a woman chosen by his parents, the young girl realizes she may have lost the true love of her life... Based on the autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, an erotic and sensitive story of a young French school girl who embarks on a torrid love affair with a wealthy Chinese man in 1929 French Colonial Vietnam. Consumed by desire, they cling to each other, even though fate and society dictates that they may never wed. Academy Award Nominations: Best Cinematography. Available in "R" and Unedited versions. Filmed on location in Vietnam.

Lover Movie Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   Just BEAUTIFUL
I've loved it. Very beautifully filmed, the amazing sensuality of this strange relationship between the schoolgirl and the "chinaman" is simply beuatiful to watch. Jane March and Tony Leung were great in their roles. A film to watch again and again...

 A First love
This movie is so great that I can watch it over and over again and not get bored. I think most people could relate to this movie because there are times when you don't want to admit you are in love and when you finally realize that you love that person it is to late.

Hot and steamy
Not a bad story. Not bad acting...the actors were well matched for their characters. Especially Jane March! Wow what a hot young babe who played the part well and is ever etched in my memory. I love stories from that era, and young love was more excepted then.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Beautiful!
This is the most beautiful, thoughtful, love story I have ever seen. I first viewed it when it was released in the 90's. It took my breath away! The setting, the story telling, the actors, is so heartfelt that you knew that this must be a true story. Marguerite Duras (the author of The Lover)was a very special talent. It made me want to read all her books! I watch it a couple of time a year, especially on a cold snowy night. It's one of my all time favorites!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A Wonderful Love Story
This is the best love story that I have ever seen.I watched this movie every day for 2 weeks and never grew bored with it. It was so sad that these two people could never get together and very
unfortunate that the young girl didn't realized that she loved this man until it was too late.

From his current post in Antarctica, British glaciologist Matt (Kieran O'Brien), recalls how he met Lisa (Margo Stilley), a 21-year-old American student. They were at a rock concert at London's Brixton Academy, and he took her back to his apartment for sex. This began a brief relationship, which is revealed as Matt remembers and comments on its milestones--mainly the other concerts they attended and their significant sexual experiences--before their initial sexual attraction waned and they were forced to part.
The titular nine songs are comprised of concert performances by 1) Primal Scream, 2) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, 3) Elbow, 4) Michael Nyman, 5) Super Furry Animals, 6) The Dandy Warhols, 7) Von Bondies, 8) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club again, and 9) Franz Ferdinand. Shot on often-blurry, handheld digital video from an audience perspective, these scenes have a you-are-there effect. The sequences involving Matt and Lisa are intimate and realistic (be warned--the sex in the film is real and graphic), conveying everything one needs to know about their relationship with only the most rudimentary dialogue. With this brief, dreamlike work, director Michael Winterbottom (24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE) has theoretically created the ultimate music movie--one that is purely sex, drugs, and rock & roll. The result is akin to the feeling of listening to a great mix tape made by a former lover.
Matt, a young glaciologist, soars across the vast, silent, icebound immensities of the South Pole as he recalls his love affair with Lisa. They meet at a ...

$36.29
Three compilations featuring the animated superhero turned chatshow host are included here:
SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST: VOLUME 1: Everybody's favorite superhero-turned-talk show host is back again with this exciting release. Alongside his bizarro bandleader Zorak and his crazy cameraman Moltar, Space Ghost interviews an endless parade of celebrities, asking questions that no one else would even consider bringing up. Featuring "Weird Al" Yankovich, Hulk Hogan, Judy Tenuta, The Ramones, Bobcat Goldthwait, and many more.
SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST: VOLUME 2: The character of SPACE GHOST originally found air time in 1966, but failed to edge his way into the public consciousness alongside the other lycra-clad heroes of the day. But in one of the most bizarre developments to ever beset a masked avenger of heinous criminal activities, 1994 saw Mr. Ghost revived, and in charge of his own TV chat show! Ably abetted by his formidable alien helpers Brak, Zorak, and Moltar, Spacey takes his show to the airwaves with a tough line of questioning that has many of his (human) guests squirming in their seats. Sometimes his motley bunch of helpers do anything but help the frequently beleaguered host, whose limited range of facial expressions still seems to project the real emotions he is feeling at the time. It all adds up to some deliciously funny action, with this second volume containing further celebrity guests for Space Ghost to get his claws into.
SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST: VOLUME 3: Back for a third installment of the animated celebrity chatshow with real life guests, SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST is one of the star turns on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim section. A variety of big names appear before Space Ghost, but the chaotic nature of COAST TO ...
