Cage stars as Captain Antonio Corelli, an Italian officer whose company of soldiers is sent to Cephallonia, a beautiful Greek island untouched by war. A free spirit with a passion for music and romance, Corelli is enchanted by Cephallonia and its people—especially Pelagia (Cruz), the gorgeous, proud daughter of the island's doctor (John Hurt). Engaged to a local fisherman (Christian Bale), Pelagia resists Corelli's attentions, but the kind and charming captain weakens her defenses. Surrendering their hearts, Corelli and Pelagia begin a heated affair. But before love can grow, the war crashes on Cephallonia's shores, forcing Corelli and Pelagia to make dangerous sacrifices for country and home…and risk losing each other forever.Bonus Content:Feature Commentary with Director John MaddenRussell Watson "Ricordo Ancor (Pelagia's Song)" Music VideoProduction NotesCast and FilmmakersTheatrical TrailerDVD-ROM Features ## Images ![Captain Corelli's Mandolin [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZyyswjvwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very Well Done Movie *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2024* Outstanding movie. Reasonably complex story with a great cast. Mixing romance with war is a dificult task. It either winds up a chick flick with a cheezy war or a guy flick with cheezy romance. This blended the quality and screen time of both war and romance very well. Both the wife and I really enjoyed this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Movie *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2024* Good product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wartime Romance with Scenery *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014* I have seen a lot of criticism of this movie. It is a wartime romance movie with some history thrown in. This is the story of how World War II affected the inhabitants of the Greek island of Cephallonia in the Ionian Sea. When the Italians occupy the island, Captain Antonio Corelli is billeted in the home of Dr. Iannis and his daughter Pelagia. Pelagia is engaged to a local fisherman who has joined the partisans to fight the invaders. The Italian occupation is benign and Captain Corelli steals his way into Pelagia's heart. When Italy surrenders to the allies, the Italians and the Greeks are happy. But the Germans arrive to take over the occupation. The Italians are disarmed and massacred. Corelli is severed wounded, but Dr. Iannis saves him. The Greeks help him escape by boat at night. The war comes to an end, and life on the island returns to normal. But in 1953 a terrible earthquake levels most of the buildings on Cephallonia. Pelagia, her father and their adopted daughter Lemoni survive. On the next celebration of St. Gerasimus, held in the ruins of the local church, Corelli returns to be reunited with Pelagia. Nicolas Cage may have been miscast as Captain Corelli. His Italian accent sometimes grates on the ear, and his happy-go-lucky attitude seems forced at times. But the rest of the cast, Greek and non-Greek were wonderful. The entire film was shot on Cephallonia, and it is a beautiful place. The sets were all built, but they look perfect in their locations. The music is good enough to stand on its own without the movie. Yes, the director John Madden and the screenwriter Shawn Slovo made changes to the story. It is impossible to be completely faithful to a book when you have only two hours to tell the story. I have read the book, and I think that the movie captures the essence of the book quite well. Penelope Cruz does not get the credit she deserves for her role. She translated Pelagia's serious nature and her fierce temper onto the screen very well. I think it is Ms. Cruz's best work. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15834679-captain-corellis-mandolin-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/15834679-captain-corellis-mandolin-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
