THE LOVER

June 6th, 2011

THE LOVER- 1992. Adapted from the book by Marguerite Duras and starring Tony Leung and Jane March. Synopsis by Netflix. “Set in French Colonial Vietnam in 1929, this Oscar-nominated film explores the erotic charge of forbidden love. A 15-year-old French girl is sent to a Saigon boarding school, where she meets a 32-year-old Chinese aristocrat. Love at first sight leads to a liaison where the lovers revel in a variety of sexual encounters. They both realize that their love is doomed, however, as neither of their families will approve of the interracial coupling.”

6/6/11- I saw this film years ago and liked it very much, saw it once againĀ and I still do. TRDB. Netflix.
