The Lover (1992)
2008 December 29
The Lover came out when I was living in Paris, and it was the most romantic, sexiest movie I’d ever seen.
At the time, I had just moved there from New York with the guy I was in love with, so pretty much everything felt romantic. But this really was. See it.

Well, I don't know what version of “The Lover,” originally written by Marquerite Duras, be it the book or the film, but this movie is not Romantic so much as erotic and desperate and hungry — more about fucking than making love. It is visceral and passionate, yes, and there may very well be love, as well, but I recommend you read the book, surely, because it is also a hyper-passionate story — and I also recommend “The War,” her memoir.
Mind you, I do think there should be a lot of the sort of the passion and eroticism in Romantic love, to be sure!
Mind you, I would say that the brother of this novel and the movie could very well be “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” (I know you love this novel, MMM) but then again you have this sort of desperate, hungry, life-affirming and then life-destroying passion, fucking, and desire… how much of this is Romance? I don't know, but how much of this is Human and Essential Food? 100%
Haha! CJA, the things that come out of your mouth never stops amazing me. You're a killer… haha.
When I said, “but then again you have this sort of desperate, hungry, life-affirming and then life-destroying passion, fucking, and desire,” I didn't mean you, MMM! Golly, gee! No! I meant YOU, plural! I can totally how it seems like I am a BIGGER dick than I am!
