Honorable government official Stephen Fleming (Jeremy Irons)
strays when he meets a beautiful woman (Juliette Binoche)
at a cocktail party. Even finding out that she's engaged to his son (Rupert Graves)
doesn't dampen Fleming's passion, & a dangerous affair ignites, resulting in more than one broken heart -- including that of Fleming's loyal wife, Ingrid (Miranda Richardson).
Based on Josephine Hart's
novel.
Rated R 1 hour 52 minutes 1992
3 stars. Intriguing story, great acting, amazing cinematography, but not our kind of story...very dark, very disturbing! Very erotic...love scenes were realistic, passionate, and harsh.
