I lived in Northern Italy for a while, but never been to Pompeii, but would love to see the architecture and scenery, was hoping this doco was going to show that, but instead the opening disclaimer said something about scenes of a sexual nature, I should have known what it was going to be from that disclaimer.

I managed 14 minutes of this thingy veiled attempt to tell the story, with unnecessary dramatized sex scenes and arty farty camera work....

Utterly disappointing, if you came to see this and are expecting a decent documentary on the architecture, of this once great place, you'll be sorely left wanting.

This poorly constructed and trite expose of focuses on the mythology of the Gods worshipped by the populace and skims over the architecture and artworks on the walls of the buildings. It is made more excruciating by reenactments of the Gods by actors in modern dress in a forrest setting for a extended periods in the movie. I was expecting something totally different as there must be a great deal of research and scholarly evidence that could have made this a much more impactful event. All it all this was a total waste of time and should be avoided as it represents a romantic and dull view of the SIN that the occupants were supposed to have indulged in.

Could have been a good doc but it's focus is more on style than history.

A lot of talking heads talking about stuff you are likely not so interested in.

I wanted to see the ruins and learn more about that. NOt some wall paintings and a bunch of academic types debating the meaning.

In all I was rather bored. Especially since this clocks in at nearly 90 minutes.
