Editorial Review: Product Description: In a seductive tale of love and betrayal a kings courtesan is forbidden to embrace her one true love. Trained in the art of pleasure maya the beautiful servant girl becomes defiant rebelling against ancient tradition. As passion takes over the conflict brings consequences that no one ever envisioned. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 01/11/2005 Starring: Indira Varma Naveen Andrews Run time: 113 minutes Rating: R Director: Mira Nair Amazon.com: If you're looking for a deep, intelligently romantic movie with complex characters and a richly rewarding plot, don't bother with Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. On the other hand, if you're feeling sexy and in the mood for a lush, seductive, and visually stunning film set in 16th-century India, this one will please you like the best foreplay you've ever experienced. Or it will relax you like a full treatment at a pampering spa--either way, you're gonna feel pretty fantastic. Okay, okay... maybe we're getting a little carried away, but there's no denying that director Mira Nair (best known for her acclaimed film Salaam Bombay!) has crafted a sumptuous film for the eyes if not the head. Its melodramatic plot is involving enough to elevate the movie high above soft-core adult fare, so you won't feel guilty after watching it. Kama Sutra is the story of a young woman named Maya (the stunning Indira Varma) who has always been lower on the social scale than her well-born friend Tara (Sarita Choudhury), and has always lived in Tara's shadow, wearing her used clothes and being made to feel inferior. When Tara is betrothed to the handsome King Raj Singh (Naveen Andrews, from The English Patient), Tara sneaks into the king's tent on the eve of the wedding and seduces him. Later, after being trained to master the Kama Sutra's many "lessons of love," Maya will be the king's courtesan, and emotions will run high between the former best friends. But the plot is of secondary importance here (a fact that resulted in many mixed reviews), and so Kama Sutra works best as a colorful and irresistibly sexy story that is worth seeing just for the startling beauty of the film and its cast. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "Could It Be Anything But Maya" ~ An Exotic Tale Of Love, Lust And ObsessionReleased in '97 the exotic, sensual and visually alluring `Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love' is an intoxicating story detailing the intense, complex intermingling sensations of romance, sexual attraction and obsession as played out in a royal family in 16th century India. While I was remotely familiar with the contents of the classic Indian sex manual of the same name I began my viewing of the fillm `Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love' with no expectations as to how explicit this production might ...

This is not a bollywood movie, thankfully. Rating: - A sultry treatthis movie is enjoyable for it's scenery of India, explanation of custom, and sexual storyline. Some detractors are the acting at times is sub par but the movie never slows... Rating: - The ColoursI Liked how this film was done. The colours involved. If you take a look at the credits, you'll see a lot of WOMEN involved. Naveen Andrews (now on the TVseries, "LOST") had a good role as a,'once great king, now an insect sucking opium poppy.'(like that line...). The variety of women shown (young, 'medium,' old, etc) was another visual I noticed. The soundtrack (which I own) is also good. Rating: - Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love I love this movie for so many reasons I cannot list them. I saw the movie years ago and the feelings, costumes, music, scenery, story line and beauty were breath taking. As a romantic I became totally enthralled in the movie's content and it transported me to days of splendor and love. The lessons shown were difficult to accept, however the depth of the content offered redemption. Watching the heroess learn detachment after so many traumas in the her life experience was exhilarating. I recommended ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
