I read the book Salt on our Skin many years ago and it remains one of my best loved books. However, it is, sadly, now out of print and if you find copies they are very expensive. If you are a good old fashioned romantic, then this is a DVD to buy. The book is better! but you cannot now obtain a copy easily. This DVD you can. No blatent sex scenes, all tastefully done. But you feel the real passion and emotion of the couple in this story. Not the happy ever after in the true sense of the word. But they do say true love never runs smooth.

I had various concerns over removing subtitles from the DVD, and whether the dialogue was in the original language. The supplier, Kevin Rudd, went to extreme lengths to answer these concerns. The result was that I was able, with his help, to remove the subtitles from the film when with other foreign copies of films I had not managed it. He was absolutely great, and I would recommend him to anyone. I would definitely buy from him again.

Salt On Our Skin 1 Nov 2008

If you're a D'Onofrio fan, you'll really want to own this one. It's a story of passion that seems to ever have the one lover out of step with the other. So many opportunities are given in this film for us to whisper, "I wouldn't do that!" But, "they" do and you get to go along for the ride.

You will see little exchanges that are ever so human between the lovers that eventually, you'll be doing something similiar and be reminded of the film. It'll haunt you like that.

There's passion...there's foolishness...there's love and understanding - what's not to like? It's humanity in all it's glory and nonsense! I'd highly recommend this movie as an afternoon get away!

An interesting way to review the careers of Scacchi and D'Onofrio, but otherwise, it's a no go. Long term adultery is not a sympathetic love story. It's hard to empathize with Georges (Scacchi), a woman who doesn't want to be the wife of a fisherman, but wants to bang him annually, for old time's sake. Gavin (D'Onofrio) portrays the traditionally female role of the seduced partner who then feels awfully, awfully bad about betraying the spouse. They are supposed to age from late teens to late middle age, but mostly D'Onofrio grows more and more and more facial hair. One becomes frightened of how he will appear at their next assignation. Of the two, he is nevertheless more convincing in the aging process, and in his final scene the beard is at last under control and practically believable. D'Onofrio looks very fine in his introductory scene, and Scacchi is lovely, but the story is unconvincing, overwrought and overlong.
