单选题MOVIES Ratings out of 5 IN THE MINOTAUR'S MAZE This movie belongs to a completely new genre perhaps. It's a historical horror movie set in ancient Greece, thousands of years ago. Filmed on location in beautiful Crete, it features beautiful young people from all over Greece being shipped as sacrifices to the Minotaur. The contrast between the sparkling light of the Greek islands and the darkness of the mysterious Minotaur's maze is stunningly done. A gripping and visually impressive movie ··· 1/2 Ben King SWEAT AND BLOOD This Spanish nonfiction movie set during the Civil War deservedly won the critics' prize at last year's Toronto Film Festival. Filmed in a naturalistic style, it follows the lives of 4 once-close friends who are separated by the war. Realistic and dramatic, it paints an all-too-believable picture of a world turned upside-down by war. Recommended. (English subtitles) ··· Jane Stevenson YOUNG HARTS IN VENICE This is an awful attempt at a "romantic drama." Young Hearts in Venice tries to exploit the Venetian setting to give this very ordinary little story a lift but utterly fails. Two couples intent on a romantic Venetian holiday accidentally meet. They spend time together and... you guessed it: there are unexpected chemical reactions. The problem is that the script and acting are so poor that we couldn't care less about any of the protagonists! Not recommended. · M.H. RED RAIN If you enjoy horror movies where city slickers unintentionally get stuck in sinister country towns, this movie is for you. Red Rain is a finely crafted effort from one of the masters of schlock-horror, Jim Middleton. There's nothing new in the plot, but the special effects, décor, and script are excellent, and the acting, mostly by unknowns, is also first-rate. ··· 1/2 Jane Stevenson
