A PORNOGRAPHIC AFFAIR

Structured round interviews of the two lovers shot in mock-documentary fashion, we are introduced to the history of their relationship. Both were interested in developing an anonymous, highly sexual rapport, that they describe as being pornographic. They first meet through an ad taken out in a newspaper. We are then taken through the various stages of their love affair: their first, nervous encounter in a cafe, when fantasy is turned into reality; their second meeting, which leads to the sex they were so eagerly anticipating; and on through a variety of subsequent developments. What makes this film special, is the choice Fonteyne has made to concentrate on emotion, thought, reflection and analysis. Initially only interested in the physical, they soon discover what a potent emotional force sex is, and must learn to negotiate its demands and expectations..
