AN AFFAIR OF LOVE
"Even though they don't know each other's names, ages, or professions, there is a deep connection. They feel comfortable and relaxed with each other, and, while sex is still an important part of their relationship, it is no longer the only part. In short, they have fallen in love. Yet neither knows how to handle the unexpected turn of events...
Ultimately, miscommunication and a fear of intimacy doom the relationship..." - James Berardinelli movie review, An Affair of Love, 1999 Toronto Film Festival
Love story. Bittersweet. Started out casual. Progressed into something more emotional. "At first I found her beautiful. Then I discovered her faults. Then her faults disappeared. I was just getting used to her. I wanted to be with her."
They came face to face with their vulnerability. Fear overtook them. Led to a sad and abrupt ending. Of something that could have been good. Or real. Or forever. But who's to know? Neither was brave enough. To give it a chance. So they just look back. With unspoken regret.
______________________________________________
The movie is beautiful. Think it was called "Pornographic Affair" in the Toronto Film Fest. It tells us what we already know. But it does it so convincingly we almost feel what the characters are feeling. It brings us to the place they're in. Watch it. It's subtitled but since it's on video you can always play it back if you missed it the first time. And no, it's not Joyce Jimenez kind of pornographic. Actually, there's nothing pornographic about it at all. Not the best film I've watched but it's good.
