Voyager | Sam Shepard, Julie Delpy | One of the most tender Love stories ever...     vhs video:     Voyager   Voyager Sam Shepard, Julie Delpy Fox Lorber, 1997 average customer review:based on 13 reviews view larger image  for more information click here        highly recommended Compelling. Get's at your heart. A movie about karma, written by a Buddhist but having nothing overtly to do with Buddhism. The actors all play their roles well and the intensity of their emotions simply leaves one breathless. Having watched this movie about 10 times, I learn something new about myself every single time I watch it. This is one of the most traggic love stories ever written. It might leave you in tears but there is something about it that is undenyable true and real. The girl's character is uplifting and her realism is inspiring. One of the most tender Love stories ever... This is a movie that will stay with you [maybe forever?]--I first saw it on Bravo about 1994, recorded it and have shared it with lots of friends. It is possible to figure out the ending about halfway through but you hope that it is NOT what you think. You desperately want the couple to be happy because they both need each other. It proves that without the circumstances of the ending--a girl CAN be happy with a man 25 years older than her! This is common throughout Europe--it is only Americans who have a problem with it.  for more information click here Very good movie! This is Sam Shepard's type of film, very well made, and ilegal love. Recommended. Julie Delpy and Sheperd's Beautiful and Shocking Journey . Ever since Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, Julie Delpy had became probably my top 10 European actresses. I have already seen some of her earlier works including Three Colours: White, An American Werewolf in Paris, and listened to her self-titled Album. Recently, I am tring to watch more of her pre-famous movies, and I ended up seeing her in Voyager, a film she starred opposite veteran American actor Sam Sherpard, and she was probably just 20 years old in it, looking beautiful, fragile, and vulnerable. Like her fellow French actress Juliette Binoche, one of the Divas of Three Colours, also made a disturbing sexual and love film called Damage(Jeremy Iron) more than a decade ago, a film which was far too heavy-duty for me digest at the time, Voyager will no doubt leave a strong mark to her fans whether they like it or not. The story took place in the '50s, and it's the voyager of an American in Europe played by Sam Sheperd. In the begining, we see his flashbacks of some events and characters that involved him a few decades earlier. He meets a pretty young French girl(Julie Delpy) on a ferry, and they instantly established a strong conection that eventually lead to intimacy. Julie Delpy fell in love with him after a while without revealing enough details of her profile. The days and nights they shared were erotic, introspective, and happy, but the closer they got to each other, the shocking truth was inevitable to reveal itself to the unawared Shepard when he learned about her mother's identity, and the remain of the film's tone will be turned upside down from that moment on.... Delpy's signature ability as seen here and Before Sunset is that she looks vulnerable and she acts that way perfectly, that's why she's so real and captivating. This is a hard and tragic role to play, and to some viewers it might be disgusting, but things like this(unintensional incest) do happen in real life. I don't think she was anymore unlikeable here than White where she played a nasty newly wed. Being a victim of an unawared circumstance is purely innocent. OK, so she has a thing for father-figure and goes for older men, that's her right to chose. Even though Sam Sheperd anchors this film from start to finish, and he was great especially near the end, it's Delpy who gave a more heartbreaking performance, and she was so young at the time!  for more information click here Better off reading the book The book by Max Frisch (Homo Faber), latin for "Man the Maker", is the way to go here. Frisch was an existentialist, not a Buddhist, as someone earlier asserted. It is the story of modern man who believes in instrumental reason and has trouble with romantic or subjective feelings. Great book that can't really be made into an effective movie. reviews: page 1, 2, 3 recommendations Why are these great films unavailable on dvd What I would like to see on DVD Films worth watching search for videos voyager randomly chosen apparel: American Apparel Baby Infant 2x1 Rib Tank Top Shirt
