Movie Reviews of Unfaithful [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Compared to Unfaithful, La Femme Infidele is as water unto wine Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent performance by Richard Gere, Diane Lane and Oliver Martinez. I concede that it is a miracle that an American version is superior to a French movie. One has only to consider the vapid American adaptations of the wonderful films of Francis Veber as proof of this assertion.
In a superb performance Diane Lane regretfully endangers her happy marriage and yields to an obsessive affair with a man to whom she is irresistibly attracted; much to her surprised delight, chagrin and despair. Gere gives a perfect performance as the trusting husband and Martinez is convincing as the selfish, amoral lover.
Summary of Unfaithful [Blu-ray]UNFAITHFUL - Blu-Ray Movie If you ever need dramatic proof that adultery is inevitably destructive, look no further than Adrian Lyne's Unfaithful. Drawing inspiration from Claude Chabrol's 1969 film La Femme Infidèle, the director of Fatal Attraction is mining similar territory here, but this grownup thriller is more intimate than Lyne's 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 (cliché 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, and Unfaithful fulfills that prophesy in a timeless tale of passion. --Jeff Shannon
