Elective Affinities (1996)

Member Rating:

This French-Italian romantic drama is faithfully based on an early 19th century Goethe novel about the destruction of a married couple. They are Charlotte and Edouard, an aristocratic couple who married late in life and happily lives in a lovely Tuscan villa. Their peaceful, marital bliss is interrupted when Othon (Edourd's closest friend) and his goddaughter Ottilie, who was raised in a convent, arrive for an extended visit. The pregnant Charlotte immediately finds herself drawn to Othon while Edouard is attracted to the girl. As they act upon their impulses a tragedy ensues. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

It takes enough patient to finish. DO not rent it, unless you only expect to kill some time (but looking at your own ceilling is better than watching this movie, I am serious!)
