debbie_collins Review of Love and Desire

Love and Desire (2003 TV Movie)

Has its flaws, but the lesbian relationship has its rewards.

[7/10 · 5 May 2010]

I've only seen this movie without subtitles and don't speak German, so I can't comment on the dialogue or all the subtleties of the performances. Like the previous reviewer, I have certain issues with the plot. However, I agree that the sexy Natalia Worner's acting as Jeanne is a standout, but I have to give Katja Flint credit here too, because to me the relationship between the two women has a credibility about it that comes across even without words. The loving way they look at each other and the physicality between them - which is quite erotic in several kissing scenes as well as a seriously hot sex scene - makes the movie worth seeing as a lesbian love story, even without subtitles! And the spoiler? The women get a happy ending, which makes all the crap heaped on poor Jeanne throughout most of the film almost bearable. Search on www.myvideo.de for the whole film, which a fan has currently posted in 9 parts - it was made for German TV and hasn't been released on DVD.
