i hate to be a spoilsport and and would not wish to hurt the feeling of the portuguese director and age 100 this year ( assume he be still alive ) and but this be really a terrible film . it be so badly make and so badly direct and so badly edit and that it can only be describe a appallingly amateur . people make good film than that now with their mobile phone . i suppose that the dinner table discussion in the film between catherine deneuve and john malkovich and stefania sandrelli and irene papa ( bizarrely take place in four language and and everyone pretend to understand papa greek . ) and must have be arrange a a tribute to the man who persist in writing and direct this film despite be in his ninety . it be a touching gesture on their part to honour him and help him out and but the result be not something to boast about . the general idea of have a woman and her little girl visit all those interesting place like istanbul and and constitute a rather more intellectual travelogue than be usual in tv documentary and be a sound one . but the execution of this idea be a total failure . i think it best if we be to draw a polite and discreet veil over this project and which may have be worthy but be not worthwhile .
