Love Life
Based on the bestselling novel by Zeruya Shalev.
Directed by Maria Schrader
Produced by Transfax Film Productions, X Filme Creative Pool
A psychologically complex drama about desire and deception, where an affair becomes a vehicle for exploring midlife crisis, power imbalance, and the darker currents beneath romantic attraction.
A married young academic falls under the sexual thrall of a much older man whose air of jaded ennui conceals a secret desire for vengeance.
