David Guy (David Guy Levy, who is also the director) and Enci (Lili Bordán) play a couple who meet in a bookstore, where he catches her in the midst of shoplifting, and she sees him in the midst of furtively filming her with his flip camera. Through the course of that day and evening, they start a tentative relationship, with his omnipresent camera serving as both bridge and barrier to their connection. Things are further complicated with the inclusion of Enci's boyfriend Boris (Iván Kamarás), and David's brutally honest friend Jonathan (Jonathan Beckerman, playing himself, and unaware until the end of the film that it was fictional). Only later do we discover that neither they - nor the film we have been watching - are what they appear to be. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"A Love Affair of Sorts" answers the question of whether you can make a feature film with a Flip camera and leaves open the question of whether you can make a good one.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Epic navel-gazing and interminably low-stakes visual artistry.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
You show me your camera, and I'll show you mine. That sums up the low-budget indie "A Love Affair of Sorts."
-
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Endlessly fascinated by the idea that some people are endlessly fascinated with themselves? David Guy Levy has made a movie perfectly suited to you.

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
Dull diary-film shoots for life/art profundity but misses by miles.
