The Lover
The Lover is a drama movie based on a semi-autobiographical novel by french writer Marguerite Duras, set in French Indochina, about a love affair between a very young girl and Chinese businessman, engaged to be married to another woman. Because of quite explicit sex scenes, some critics are setting the movie in the realm of erotic ones, which is, you will agree, very close to giving it a scarlet letter. In fact, it is nothing but a beautiful story about growing up, which is magnificently presented both in the novel and the film. Since it is based on Marguerite's words, and she didn't spare them in descriptions of the female protagonist's fist sex experience, as she was really there, the movie simply can not be regarded as shameful. Further on, considering that all of us go through the experience of first love and love making at some point, criticizing the film for the reality of it would make us hypocrites. To conclude, the sex scenes have the purpose, unlike in many Hollywood A films, and are extraordinary done at the same time. Enjoy! :)
