In 2007, director
Robert Benton shot a great movie titled Feast of Love, a celebration of love and sex. We most strongly recommend it.
A wonderful portrayal of love
Feast of Love is an “omnibus” of stories that happen to several people, people who are hit by love in one way or another, love being the strongest life force that sometimes also stops our hearts and breaks them to pieces. Feast of Love is everything that similar movies aren’t, and has everything that similar movies lack. In other words, Feast of Love mixes all of the ingredients of romantic drama and erotica with elegance and the right measure of feeling.
Steamy sex
Some movies pride themselves on steamy sex and nudity, but forget about everything else. Others that aim at our emotions tend to be slightly reserved. Some movies switch the lights off during sexual intercourse and leave us with only kissing. Feast of Love transcends them all: it doesn’t turn the lights off, but shows us sex as it really is, including frontal nudity. Even though sex is here quite hot, it still seems very realistic. We are made to believe it’s only a part of the story, so that it’s not at all about cheap tricks and false controversy. Even better, sex is a part of love between a man and a woman who feel an emotional connection. The nudity is perfectly natural. This is where the charm of the movie Feast of Love comes from. Everything is done on behalf of the story, in a way that is believable.
It takes us on a journey through love and everything it brings. The most courageous of the actors is the young Australian
Radha Mitchell who takes off all her clothes, but the others aren’t far behind. Sexual scenes sem very genuine, so that the viewers easily feel that the actors didn’t even know there was a camera shooting them.
The heart isn’t enough for happiness
Harry Stevenson, portrayed by Morgan Freeman, says that this is a story about Greek gods. They invented people because they were bored. As that didn't help, they also invented love and boredom wasn’t as scary anymore. That’s why they decided to try some love amongst themselves. In the end they invented laughter, so they could tolerate love.
Feast of Love brings a story of three generations and three different types of love, to be precise: “young” love, where love and sex are strongly connected, “middle age” love, where the two are separated, and “older” love, where sex is replaced by love.
Bradley Smith (Greg Kinnear) has the biggest heart. He is an unfortunate man whose wife Kathryn (Selma Blair) leaves him for another woman. When he marries for the second time, his wife Diana (Radha Mitchell) regularly cheats on him with another man (Billy Burke), whom she was seeing even before she got married. It’s true, Diana loves her husband with her heart and her lover with her body. She shows that only the heart isn’t enough for a happy marriage.
Romeo and Juliet
A totally different story is the one concerned with Chloe (Alexa Davalos) and Oscar (Toby Hemingway), who are young and in love head over heels. They love each other with both body and soul. Their love is greater than that of Romeo and Juliet, or than that of Tristan and Iseult. They’re a wonderful couple, despite the objections of Oscar's violent and drunken father Bat (Fred Ward). Feast of Love is a remarkable movie – beautiful, romantic and sexy, interesting, charming and well-acted. Just like love. It’s also the return of director Robert Benton, who is known for the classic Kramer Vs. Kramer, among other things.
