Details: Product DescriptionFrom the director of Fatal Attraction comes « a steamy thriller » (People Magazine) about physical passion so intense, it consumes everything – and everyone – in its path. Edward and Connie Summer (Richard Gere, Diane Lane) have the perfect life: a happy marriage, an eight year old son, and a beautiful house in the suburbs. But when Connie’s chance encounter with a handsome stranger (Olivier Martinez) erupts into a full-blown affair, desire becomes obsession, and the true price of betrayal takes a shattering toll. Pulsing with heart-pounding suspense and erotic thrills, Unfaithful is « sexy », stylish and seductive! » (Wireless Magazine)Amazon.caIf you ever need dramatic proof that adultery is inevitably destructive, look no further than Adrian LynesUnfaithful. Drawing inspiration from Claude Chabrols 1969 filmLa Femme Infidle, the director ofFatal Attraction is mining similar territory here, but this grownup thriller is more intimate than Lynes dead-bunny potboiler, probing more deeply into the rush of conflicting emotions provoked by infidelity. In what many critics praised as the role of her career, Diane Lane plays the instigator of emotional turmoil, a seemingly happy housewife and fundraiser who cheats on her devoted husband (Richard Gere, in a welcomed change of pace) when she casually encounters a seductive Frenchman (clich alert!) played by Olivier Martinez. Allowing his actors to speak volumes without words, Lyne emphasizes silent tension over explicit thrills, creating a sexually charged thriller that remains riveting even as it turns partially predictable. « Someone always gets hurt, » says one character in a pivotal scene, andUnfaithful fulfills that prophesy in a timeless tale of passion.–Jeff Shannon
