Directed by Adrian Lyne , the erotic thriller, Unfaithful, is one of the most poetic, authentic, and devastating contemporary films about an extramarital affair. The story follows a couple living in the suburbs of Manhattan, Connie Sumner and her husband, Edward Sumner , with their young son, Charlie Sumner .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Connie calls Paul from Grand Central Station, symbolizing a place of decision between going home or to her would-be lover's apartment. Her pretense is buying a bottle of wine to thank him for helping her, her husband’s idea. When he suggests she come for coffee, she hesitates before agreeing. This is a master class moment in writing, acting, and directing due to Connie and Paul's vulnerabilities, simultaneously, unwaveringly, bold and insecure.
So, the story is Connie’s, and what is the story? Of loss and confusion, discovery and gain, loss again, so maybe, loss, inevitably. Unfaithful shows the importance of establishing clear agency in story. Especially for cinema, centralizing identities and interplays of deception with this much clarity is crucial, so we can follow the rabbit hole of adultery in as cognitive a way as aesthetically possible.
The sex scene is extraordinary in its beauty, vulnerability, and erotica. There is the softly lit framing of Connie’s quivering stomach as Paul touches her, blowing on her belly button, his hands moving like a sculptor's as they wind around and between her legs. Connie has never been touched nor felt like this before, it is clear.
