Oh dear. I saw a film called the Virgin Territory today and to be honest I hadn’t seen a trailer for it, had heard nothing about it but was watching only because my friend, MD had passed it on to me. For the first time since being subjected to the cinematic excrement affectionately known ‘Reno 911! Miami’, I found myself watching a movie thinking… this may well be worse than Breaking the Waves.
Perhaps if I’d done a quick Google search or watched a trailer online I might have spared myself the totally wasted 2 hours of unadulterated crap that Virgin Territory turned out to be. For I think I may have given it a wide berth if I’d known that it was released in Italy under the name ‘Decameron Pie’ and released in France under the name of ‘Medieval Pie’. But alas, I’ve no one to blame for my not having looked it up BEFORE I sat through it. I do have one question though… how did they get such a fantastic actor such as Tim Roth (of Pulp Fiction, Rob Roy and Four Rooms fame) to be a part of this complete drivel? The mind boggles…. perhaps it was some sort of contractual obligation thing or perhaps it is as we suspect and all those even remotely connected to the film indutry are all on crack.
Anyway, I’d advise people to avoid this crap for it hasn’t even any pretty period frocks to redeem itself and I found the most satisfying thing about this movie was being able to click on the ‘delete’ button at the end of it!
