Torrents Of Spring

Seductively dreamlike - a time machine back 200 years.
No five star reviews? I looked at the price of the DVD and "Timothy Hutton" as a star warned me away. It looked like trash from the cover of the DVD. I stayed away for 6 years. Well, it is much like reading Tolstoy in that you get a sense that you are there but with all that a shooting location in some very old sections of Eastern European cities and countryside can provide in terms of mind blowing atmosphere. Because it is something like a time machine that displays its world in near real time, you have to have some delight in being brought into such a world as an observer (not just a view of a play or a movie). Like some aspects of "Somewhere in Time" this has a love for a past that cannot be realized in any better way. I have read just enough to know and to feel this is plausibly how it would be to live then and to fall under the spell. Movies of the past now toss aside so much of the feeling that you get from reading a novel of the past. Today's entertainment seems...

Visual and audio beauty, in a sentimental dream of 19th century Europe
TORRENTS OF SPRING, unfortunately, has perhaps not been

marketed in the ideal manner, for the majority of the

public, because it suggests a narrowly focused film about

a passionate relationship between 2 nobles, the lady

played by Nastassja Kinski, and the man by Timothy Hutton.

In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. This

movie is not narrowly focused on a passion between a man

and a woman. It tells a story that entertains a lot more,

immensely more, from many its many other aspects, that

were crafted into the motion picture. And these other

aspects are what makes this film easily surpass the

commercial, cheap movies, too often manufactured these

days.

It will help, if the viewer can relate to a sentimental

story, enjoys the enormous "eye-candy" of the lifestyle of

nobles (at least as we would have us...

Beautiful Classic.Hutton is awesome in his character
I watched this film back in the early 1990's and i must
say that i really liked the film. The movie is about a man,
i believe a russian who is played by hutton and he falls in
love with an italian woman, but hutton decides to have an affair
with a blonde woman which costs him his true love with the italian woman. This is a slow moving picture, and it is long,
but i recommend it because life is not like the movies.
Things go slow, and the ending is quite interesting...
Sometimes love is hard to find, and when it is found sometimes
for the wrong reasons people just let it slip away with sloppy
incidents that really are to negative. Hutton is fantastic
in this motion picture. i believe the author who wrote this
book is russian, great job! I recommend one buying"torrents of spring."
