DOCU-MONDAYS: Talking About Adultery

In open testimonies by husbands, wives, and lovers, this highly stylized introspective film presents different forms of marriage and searches for the meaning of this institution in our post-consumerist society.

Through a visually dominant text conversation between the central couple R. and B., the viewer gradually begins to identify with the stories of anonymous heroes who balance fulfillment of love and sexuality in relationships, cope with their frustration, or describe the rediscovered value of marriage. Metaphors and collages reflect the filmmaker’s perspective, and ultimately a surprising twist of life connected to the filming.

“Exploring the real intricate parts of relationships, this documentary does a great job of revealing the evolution of intimate relationships that happens when couples bend or break the rules society has created.” Irish Film Critic
