With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone who likes knowing it really happened and romantics. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Same wavelength as Belfast or The French Lieutenant's Woman.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 57 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
In the early 1920s, filmmaker and cabaret director Karlo Armano meets a mysterious woman who only calls herself Dora. After a night of passionate romance, he wakes up to find her missing and goes on a quest to find her, soon realizing that the woman he had fallen in love with is none other than famed composer and autonomist Dora Pejačević.
