PLAYING ALONG THE EDGE

Today's film was the Italian

Cosa voglio di più / Come Undone (2010)

Two hard working people meet and fall in love or lust. Complications ensue as both are in committed relationships and have no time for such a dalliance.

But they dally anyway and it is hard work. Lying, scheming to be together, finding the money and time.

This is an excellent film. These are normal people who are smart and should know better but they do not. Their spouses get hurt. It is a mess.

And they are in love.

What makes this film work is the honesty and reality of the situations. It is a modern look at an eternal dilemma. The stretch between adventure and stability. Loyalty and attraction. The nature of happiness. And not a bit of philosophizing. We can draw our own conclusions. No one here is "bad".

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
