Ae Fond Kiss... (2004)
A love story that feels real
6 May 2005 - 3 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Perusing OnDemand one day that I was sick, I came across this film and gave it a try. I am so glad that I did. It's not slick and polished at all, but the acting, the emotional tension, all feel very real. And it's just a wonderful love story for a change.
At times in this film their relationship seems impossible. It's frustrating and painful. Nobody magically comes around in some irritatingly saccharine way, but the resolution feels real and is happy.
Finally, I felt the chemistry between the two lead actors. The sex was erotic and real but did not feel gratuitous.
