Ladyhawke (1985)

Third viewing (First one: 1985 or 1986; Second one: August 10, 1993

The Middle Ages. A bishop falls in love with a young woman, but she rejects him for the captain of the castle guard. The bishop then throws a curse on the couple: he takes the form of a wolf by night; she takes the form of a hawk by day; thus, they can never meet as man and woman, except for a few seconds during twilight and dawn. A teenage thief escapes from the castle dungeons and meets the captain, who takes him under his wing.

A film both entertaining and good-looking. It is notoriously ruined by the pop score, but I am not taking this factor into consideration in my rating.

Rating: 69 (unchanged)
