an affair
31 August 2016
Jean is a construction worker. He helps his elderly father. He's married to Anne-Marie. He befriends his son Jérémy's teacher Véronique Chambon. He helps her replace a window. Their relationship heats up as he is tore between the two women.

It's a quiet romance with no rooting interest for me. There may be some cultural differences. I don't want to read romanticism into the affair. Essentially, this is a simple quiet movie. The scenes are small and sweet. The intensity is all within that affair and it's an interior intensity. The story could have done something bigger if it gets discovered but it doesn't go there. One could read more beauty and poignancy into this. In the end, it's two people hooking up.
