Title: Love affair after sixty
Review: This movie is quite amazing in the way it handles a sexual affair between a woman in her late sixties and a man in his late 70's. The love scenes are shown without gauzy lights and they are both fascinating and a little disturbing.The affair is really the centerpiece of the film. The woman has to decide whether to stay with her husband of 30 years who has grown old and boring but who has been loyal to her and a good stepfather to her daughter or to go with a more dashing lively fellow. The actress is wonderful. Since she is in almost every scene and we see so much of her (!) she has to be marvelous to hold our attention.I subtract a star for the ending of the story. It felt like an easy copout and the very ending was a real letdown. Mostly this film's value, I think, is the frankness and sensitivity with which it shows something that we are not used to seeing.
