Story of two college buddys who are touring through Europe and meet a beautiful woman and of course they both vie for her affections. She of course likes both of them! The sites are beautiful and actually are important to the story. The scenery and Charlotte Rampling are both beautiful and mysterious and Sam Waterston has a difficult time accepting both for what they are. I guess this is the moral dilemma that the characters must ponder! Lots of shots of the characters doing nothing! Extetended scenes of them eating, drinking and just walking and looking around. The pace of the film is very slow and it seems deliberate. The director seems to want us to feel what its like to be consumed by the scenery and elements. I guess its effective, but I'm not sure how interesting it is.
