An Affair of Love
An Affair of Love ★★½ Une Liaison Pornographique; A Pornographic Liaison; Une Liaison d'Amour 1999 (R)
French love story sounds like “Last Tango in Paris” but really owes more to “sex, lies and videotape.” Elle (Baye) places an ad in a sex magazine and arranges to meet a respondent, Lui (Lopez), for afternoon sexual encounters in a hotel. Virtually all of the physical action takes place behind a closed door. The point is emotional and so, in after-the-fact monologues, they both discuss (separately) what's happened. French with subtitles. 80m/C VHS, DVD. FR BE LU Nathalie Baye, Sergi Lopez, Paul Pavel; D: Frederic Fonteyne; W: Philippe Blasband; C: Virginie Saint-Martin; M: Andre Dziezuk, Marc Mergen, Jeannot Sanavia.
