High Season (1987)
Romantic and comic entanglements of Jacqueline Bisset, set in the beautiful city of Lindos on Rhodes, Greece.
Terrifically fun movie from the 1980s starring a beautiful Jacqueline Bisset as a photographer dealing with personal and monetary problems, though her story is woven among several other subplots involving Kenneth Branagh (in an early and funny turn), James Fox (having emerged from a self-imposed retirement), Irene Papas (as a hilariously traditional Greek mother who hates the encroachment of tourism and modernism but has a penchant for lipstick and other modern beauty products), along with Sebastian Shaw (the original Anakin Skywalker from "Return of the Jedi"--look him up). The location is luminous--so much so that it prompted me to go out of my way and travel to Lindos a few years ago. It's a jewel of a town, on the southern side of the island of Rhodes, with a castle ruin overlooking whitewashed buildings and fluorescent blue waters. Might not be on the level of "Annie Hall", but a fun, diverting movie nonetheless.
