Sappho 2008
Sappho, a newly wed American wife, with her husband on the Greek island Lesbos, goes through the pain of unrequited love to a young woman, very much like the namesake poet in ancient times.
"And? What comes next?" "It's lost. We'll never know." "Perhaps we
should decide for ourselves" Sappho is a provocative and passionate
love story set in the 1920s - not to be watched with children or with
parents. Millionaire's daughter Sappho Lovell arrives on the Greek
island of Lesbos for her honeymoon with her artist husband Phil. There
she meets Helene, the daughter of a Russian archaeologist, and she falls
in love with her. As our three lovers live out a complex girl-boy-girl
sexual triangle, Sappho also comes to believe that she is the
reincarnation of the ancient poetess Sappho - that Sappho who first put
the "lesbian" in Lesbos. However, our modern Sappho does realize how the
ancient Sappho's legend ends... Inspired by the poems of Sappho
