Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Although it was unfortunately ignored during its brief theatrical release, this sumptuously seductive production is that rarest of cinematic breeds, the (barely) respectable guilty pleasure. Combining historical fact with hysterical anachronisms of language and mannerism, it's been tailored for maximum contemporary appeal but maintains a lush, romantic feel for its factual 16th-century tale of Venetian love, lust, and political repression. Catherine McCormack (Mel Gibson's ill-fated bride in Braveheart) delivers a star-making performance as the "dangerous beauty" who becomes a skillful courtesan to pursue her forbidden love for a dashing Venetian senator (Rufus Sewell). It's all rather silly in a high-toned fashion, and the film turns dour when the church intervenes with a Scarlet Letter-like papal inquest. But the movie's joyously ribald vitality is utterly irresistible, and the casting of McCormack with Jaqueline Bisset (as her mother and courtesan mentor) is a stroke of pure genius. Merchant-Ivory would've made a smarter film from this material, but it probably wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Extraordinary Period Piece
My wife and I truly enjoyed this film. The plot is marvelous and the story told with flair and artistic grace. The attention to detail, from the sets to the costumes and the historical accuracy are enlightening. I would watch this film over and over; it is that good.

I have 2 movies that I need to return and neither of them work for me...
I am not sure why they are defective and I will return them but I have not had time to go to the post office but they will be returned. Sad because I love the movie


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Top 50 All time Favorites
Dangerous Beauty is in my top 50 of all time favorites. It has something for everyone - romance, humor, history - and is underscored by a lovely soundtrack. The characters are well cast. My daughter did a term paper on Veronica Franco and the role of courtesans and women in the 16th century after seeing this. I heartily recommend this little known gem.
