Dear John

Käre John
1964 / 115m - Sweden
Drama, Romance
1.5*/5.0*
Dear John poster

A rather tepid romance that hides behind an arthouse facade, but can't really disguise its somewhat mushy (and cheesy) interior. The result is a very slow film with bland characters, that royally outstays its welcome, while relying on slightly above average cinematography to keep it from becoming a complete waste of time.

The drama is very light and uneventful (though not necessarily in a bad way), while the slick black and white cinematography lends the film a little extra class. But the romance angle is poorly realized, and the performances are cold and unpleasant. The result is a clumsy romance I never really cared for.
