Affairs

About This Movie

Affairs (1989) is this curious drama that weaves a tangled web of secrets and social intrigue. The atmosphere is tense, with a slow burn that really lets the characters' motivations unfold. The woman's shady involvement in the affair is layered and ambiguous, making you question her true intentions. Then there's that man—could he really be a marquis? And Fabrizio Bentivoglio's character adds a youthful edge, driving a flashy car that feels symbolic of his restless spirit. It's fascinating how Basque nationalism subtly threads its way through the story, adding another layer to the characters' hidden depths. Solid performances across the board, but it’s the pacing and the sense of mystery that keeps you engaged. Definitely has a unique flavor to it.
