ExcellentI liked this movie! However, I agree with the other reviewer that one should read the book first to better understand the movie. I believe the movie should have allowed the viewer to hear the thoughts of some of the characters for clarification. But love the book and glad Oprah decided to make the movie!.Score: 2/5

Underrated masterpieceHere’s a superb film that’s developed a bit of a reputation for being heavy handed and graphic, basically lacking the lyrical artistry of Toni Morrison’s source material. But that’s not an altogether accurate assessment of this dark, intense exploration of the extremes of human dignity and depravity. Hecuba retold in post-Civil War Cincinnati, this one has all the elements of a great movie. The acting is absolutely startling in intensity. The directing and editing are taught. The script is relatively faithful to Morrison’s great novel, and borrows dialogue from it. The only bit that may detract somewhat from the cohesiveness of the film is the tendency of the director to overdramatize, to exaggerate the supernatural elements of the screenplay. Other than that, you’ve got art here, and it should have been better received by critics than it was. This movie has enjoyed something of a renaissance of late..Score: 5/5

Deutsch
Die ehemalige Sklavin Sethe (Oprah Winfrey) und ihr Leidensgenosse Paul (Danny Glover) werden von einer seltsamen Frau (Thandie Newton) heimgesucht, die die Schrecken der Vergangenheit wieder aufleben lässt.

Français
Ohio 1873. Sethe, ancienne esclave, a cherement conquis sa liberte. Abandonnee par son mari, elle eleve seule sa fille, Denver. Un jour, elle recoit la visite d'un ancien compagnon d'infortune, Paul D., qui lui propose de partager sa vie. Sethe accepte de le prendre a l'essai dans l'espoir qu'il saura remplacer le pere que sa fille n'a jamais connu. Quelques jours plus tard, le couple voit surgir des marais une etrange creature a peine capable d'articuler son prenom: Beloved. Sethe croit reconnaitre en elle le bebe qu'elle sacrifia dix-huit ans plus tot et decide de l'adopter.

עִבְרִית
מבוסס על רומן פרי עטה של כלת פרס נובל לספרות טוני מוריסון, "חמדת" מתרחש בארה"ב של המאה הקודמת, שמונה שנים לאחר מלחמת האזרחים. סתה, אישה שחורה שנמלטה מחיי עבדות לפני מספר שנים, מתגוררת עם בתה באוהיו. הבית של השתיים רדוף ע"י רוחה של בת אחרת של סתה שנרצחה לפני שהגיעה לשנת חייה השניה. עכשיו מגיע אל חייהן של השתיים פול די, מי שנאבק תחת עול העבדות ביחד עם סתה לפני שזו ברחה. הגעתו מעוררת את הרוח ושולחת אותה אל חייהן כנערה צעירה העונה לשם "חמדת". הגעתה של זו מערערת את השקט שנוצר עם בואו של פול וחושפת בהדרגה סודות אפלים הטמונים בעבר. אופרה וינפרי עמלה כעשור להביא אל הבד את הרומן המדובר של מוריסון. שיתוף הפעולה בינה לבין ג'ונתן דמי מביא אל הבד יצירה מעוררת הערכה. למרות אורכו של הסרט ולמרות היותו לרגעים דרמה קאמרית חמורת סבר, התוצאה הכללית שומרת אמונים ליצירה המקורית ועם זאת מכילה הארות חדשות כלפיה. עבודת המשחק, והחיבור בין מרכיבים ריאליסטיים לאלמנטים על-טבעיים המקבלים נפח ממשי על המסך, הופכים את "חמדת" ליצירה מרשימה, הראויה ליותר תשומת לב מזו שזכתה לה עד עתה.

Português
Em 1873, uma ex-escrava, que vive perto de Cincinnati com sua família, é surpreendida com a visita de um velho amigo da época em que ambos eram escravos. Ele decide se mudar para a mesma cidade e logo vários mistérios são revelados.

Magyar
Az idő: 1873, a hely: Sethe. A fekete rabszolgaasszony elszökik gyermekeivel, és a szabad Ohio állam felé tart. Gazdái rátalálnak, de nem viszik vissza. Mégis a lelke mintha örökre rabszolga maradna. Tizennyolc év telik el. Egyedül él lányával, amikor megérkezik Paul, a régi barát. Ugyanakkor feltűnik egy furcsán viselkedő kislány, akit befogadnak a házukba.

Pусский
Фильм поставлен по роману Тони Моррисона «Любимая» и снят Джонатаном Демме. 1965 год: История о беглой рабыне Сэта (Опра Уинфри), которой пришлось пожертвовать слишком многим. Она убивает своих детей, чтобы те не попали в руки к работорговцам. Позже к ней является дух убитой дочери, которую звали Любимая.

Nederlands
Het is 1873. Na 18 jaar komt hij weer in haar leven, een man die slaaf was op dezelfde plantage. Bij voorbaat verontschuldigt ze zich voor haar huis, en als hij de eerste stap binnenzet merkt hij dat het spookt in huis. Haar overleden oudste dochter is nooit groot geworden en kan gooien met voorwerpen als ze humeurig is. Niet lang na zijn komst houdt de overleden dochter zich echter stil, en haar plaats in huis wordt ingenomen door een vreemdelinge die zich aandient. Vanwege dier interesse in verhalen van vroeger en achtergestelde ontwikkeling is ze ook een welkome aanvulling in het leven van zowel de moeder als de nog levende moeder.

Español
Después de que Paul D. encuentra a su antiguo amigo esclavo Sethe en Ohio y se muda con ella y su hija Denver, aparece una chica extraña con el nombre de "Amada". Sethe y Denver la acogen y luego comienzan a suceder cosas extrañas ...

Italiano
Sethe è la padrona della casa, una schiava fuggiasca che ha patito sofferenze indicibili tra cui l'impiccagione della madre e la perdita di alcuni figli. Nella casa abita anche Denver, figlia di Sethe, che è misteriosamente emarginata dalla società. A loro si unirà Paul D Garner , un pellegrino vecchia conoscenza di Sethe che deciderà di restare. Paul D era giunto lì per salutare Sethe e la "nonna Sue" morta però qualche anno prima, una specie di sciamana che organizzava riti collettivi vagamente tribali con i quali riusciva a controllare emotivamente i partecipanti. Anche Paul D ha particolari poteri e intuisce che la casa è abitata da qualche spirito. Questo spirito apparirà quando ad entrare nella casa sarà Beloved, una ragazza che apparentemente ha gravissimi problemi psicologici ma che rivelerà l'incarnazione di un passato mai passato e un presente di sovraumane presenze da sconfiggere.

Português
Sethe, uma ex-escrava afro-americana, encontra Paul D., um velho amigo da plantação de onde fugira, e convida-o para morar consigo e com a sua filha Denver. Um dia, Sethe e Denver acolhem uma jovem misteriosa chamada Beloved, e estranhas coisas começam a acontecer.

Español
Ohio, 1873. Ocho años después de la Guerra Civil, Sethe, una esclava fugitiva que ha perdido a toda su familia, excepto a una hija, intenta rehacer su vida junto al comprensivo Paul D. La aparición de una misteriosa joven llamada Beloved le hace revivir el pasado, ya que posiblemente se trata del fantasma de una de sus hijas a la que asesinó para evitar que creciese como esclava.

ελληνικά
Σε ένα δύσκολο ταξίδι αναζήτησης της ελευθερίας, η Σεθ έρχεται αντιμέτωπη με μυστικά που τη στοίχειωναν για χρόνια. Τότε, ένας παλιός φίλος από το παρελθόν της ξαναμπαίνει ξάφνου στη ζωή της. Με τη βοήθειά του, η Σεθ ίσως τελικά καταφέρει να ξαναανακαλύψει ποια είναι.

Dansk
På en vanskelig rejse for at finde friheden bliver Sethe konfronteret med de hemmeligheder, der har hjemsøgt hende i årevis, og en gammel ven fra hendes fortid vender uventet tilbage. Med hans hjælp kan Sethe genopdage, hvem hun er.
