What a silly film! The discipline enforced in that squadron seemed worse that that of a summer camp, and the cheesy love story was so very bad.
Really childish and badly written film, in which the only thing worth seeing were the beautiful planes (and even then, why on earth were almost all of the Fokker Dr.I painted red???).
I actually liked this one. The music is great. And Jonathan Halper (the guy credited for the two songs) is quite a mystery. No one seems to know who the guy is.
I really enjoyed some aspects of this movie: cinematography, art direction, soundtrack, and above all other things its love for movie making and for that special place movies take us to. But I thought it had no rhythm, no punctuation, the story didn't flow in a natural way. It was really quite a strange feeling, I must say. Even though the actors were quite good it was as if there was an unnatural delay between their responses to one another and towards what happened around them. And this lack of coherence sometimes brought up a sense of emptiness regarding the plot and characters. I thought it's script was really flawed and for me that's what turned a film that could very well be a fascinating voyage about the love for the art of movies into something quite weak. What a waste of good ideas...

At first I was really enjoying it, but then I finished eating my last slice of pizza and, from that moment on, the experience became quite unpleasant.Movie comment on The Dante Quartet
