It was like reading a novel. "Fade into black" sequences as the end of each chapter. The characters looked as if they were still in the book not linvin the real life thats why actings were somehow pretentious (maybe it was because of their dialogues and sometimes insisting on nonverbal actings -as if in the mean while the writer is describing their faces and their looks and thoughts!).
Anyway... if it wasnt for the last scenes and what happend to Martyn, I would rate it as "Not Interested at all". And if it wasnt for the last sentences of the script narating by Stephen (Jeremy Irons), i would leave the movie with 2 stars. but now I look up to the movie and respect it and even recommend it.
The directing was not something special but it was successful to give the movie a true blue atmosphere of the book (which the screenplay is based on).
The sex scenes were awkward & obsessive. And about the actors... God! Jeremy Irons cant seem to plead for a woman! It wasnt pleasant or acceptable to see him behaving outrageous over a woman. And what woman then?! Juliette Binoche! Maybe because she hasn't got type of body or feature that turns me on, she couldnt be matched with the role in my point of view.
Whatever! I like the last lines (only). -
MCT:July 8, 2008It's that horrible: laughable sex scenes, unbelievable situations, bad dialogues... I could go on all day. Miranda Richardson is the only source of sanity in this mess.

It's hard to believe that a foxy French filly (played by Juliette Binoche) could fancy a boring old fart (played by Jeremy Irons) but that's exactly what happens in this erotic melodrama.

MCT:September 28, 200734 years after LES AMANTS (The Lovers) Louis Malle revisits another adulterous affair, this time set in London between a minister (Irons) and his son's fiancée. Let's say the whole thing brings a big turmoil in the family. Interesting mostly because of the cruel depiction of the bitter breakup between Irons and his wife played magnificently by Miranda Richardson. And again, a cool jazzy score to set things up.

MCT:September 21, 2007This dark tragedy captures the essence of human failings and lust. Acting is stallar across the board, and Jeremy Irons is fabulous.

I remember watching this film as a child and being struck by the fuck scenes. From the start you know this is all going to end badly, you can hear the naive hope in Jeremy's voice and you can see his uncertainty when he says "Don't worry. It will be fine." Perhaps some persons are attracted to damaged people because they're intriguing, getting to know them is a journey into the unknown because they're harder to interpret. She is tortured to the point where she is tempted to do bad when people want to do good for her and he wants to know what it feels like to miss something you desire so much it hurts. To be jealous of your own flesh and blood and to immerse oneself into a forbidden but pleasurable obsession, the kind that makes you forget everything, is deliciously perverse. Contrary to popular opinion I thought the fact that Juliette was supposedly not very fond of Jeremy helped to produce the tension that was needed to represent the awkward guilt that would come out of this unhealthy relationship.

Man, this movie is messed up. If you're into that sort of thing, knock yourself out. Personally, it really doesn't do it for me. It's basically porn with a pretentious artsy cover.

Deeply disturbing love story about a man's obession with his son's fiancee ; stellar performances by Jeremy Irons & Juliet Binoche.

I first watched this when tripping, which wasn't a good idea, as it's a slow burning affair that asks alot of the viewer. Second viewing was better, but I still found it average, despite some brilliant acting from Irons and Binoche

MCT:December 10, 2006Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...

i was quite disapointed by this one. Has such potential.. personally i think it relied on the sex scenes a bit too mcuh. and i can't say i felt the chemistry between the two actors. Maybe it's just me.. I wouldn't recommend it

It was a strange film. Jeremy Irons is very sexy, but it was so strange to watch. The love scenes in the film were beyond strange, really not my idea of a good time, but hey I'd take Jeremy Irons any way possible. I would liked to have seen more character development for Irons' character, and not such strange mannerisms from Binoche. It needed more development all around. Plus a better climax and a much better resolution. But overall it was a decent film, by no account an outstanding film, but a decent one.
