Sensuel, sexuel, amoureux, émouvant... Ça donne envie de faire l'amour, ça fait réfléchir sur la fragilité des liens, c'est fin, beau et déroutant...

Denis Sedgwick's rating of the film An Affair of Love
Denis Sedgwick

C’est un film excellent (et pas pornographique du tout) qui, sous forme d’interview, raconte une histoire d’amour entre un homme et une femme dont on ne saura finalement pas grand-chose d'autre que leur vie et leurs sentiments au moment présent. Leur secret est bien gardé. Entre les mots, des silences et l’image qui raconte.

Dag Kaszlikowski's rating of the film An Affair of Love
Dag Kaszlikowski

It's a trivial story filmed without bells and whistles. A love affair between mature people that ends the same way it started: insignificantly and quietly. Yet there is something profound about this film. Something almost of all us experience at some point in our lives. This something is banality and incredible beauty of love that doesn't stand a chance.

Superfrog's rating of the film An Affair of Love
Superfrog

A long pisstake attempting to get the audience to project their fantasy into what happens behind the door and possibly identify. Completely fails for me, and the relationship dynamics are classical. The rest is broadly uninteresting. An extra star for the colourful set work that is well worth a mention and actors who are not the usual early twenties cuties who are a must in anything sexual on film.

Didonne's rating of the film An Affair of Love
Didonne

3,5 Je craignais une intrigue plus "commerciale" à cause du générique, mais finalement pas du tout. Comment en rester exclusivement à l'assouvissement d'un fantasme ? N'est-ce pas un fantasme, ce rêve de séparation du corps et de l'esprit ? Et si le fantasme bascule dans la réalité, qu'en fait-on ? Car, comme chacun sait, l'amour, ça dérange.

Bien que le film se déclaire explecitamente pornographique, ça ne l'est pas du tout: au contraire, je l'ai trouvé très délicat et sensible. En fait, c'est plutôt un discours d'amour. En tant que ça, il est destiné à ne pas arriver, à ne pas s'accomplir. Un tentatif voué à l'échec. Il n'y aurait pu être une conclusion différente, car no 'happy ending' pourrait être admis.

He dudado en la puntuación. La pelicula no consigue estar bien ilada, con una extructura cerrada, una buena realización, una excelente fotografía, unos ambientes muy conseguidos, unos actores excelentes y con algunos momentos interesantes, Arranca con una premisa tan falsa y mal justificada que no consigue sostener la película.
