Based on the autobiographical novel by
Graham Greene,
Affair features
Fiennes as an obsessive lover who can't let go of the mistress who abruptly abandoned him two years ago. When fate puts her back in his path, he pursues her again, only to find out that the reason she left him last time was because she made a deal with God promising she would mend her wicked ways if He spared her husband's life. The film charts the course of commitment, jealousy, loss and faith between lovers.
I found this film very much true to life in the way that you have to sacrifice things to be true to youself and others a very moving and powerful drama it was a pleasure to watch.
