An Affair of Love

by Stephen Farber

An Affair of Love was originally known as A Pornographic Affair, a more insolent title than the vacuous moniker it now bears. In this tale, two former lovers recall the affair that began as a purely sexual liaison and blossomed into a more consuming romance. Director Frederic Fonteyne stays focused on the faces of the two excellent actors, Nathalie Baye and Sergi Lopez; he keeps us waiting for the inevitable view of bare flesh until quite late in the movie, but when the picture does venture into the bedroom, it provides a telling blend of carnality and emotion.
