Spoilers ahead

Frédéric Fonteynes’ Une Liaison Pornographique (titled An Affair of Love in the US) presents an unconventional and captivating love story that unfolds in reverse. Every Thursday, two anonymous individuals, simply referred to as He and She, rendezvous at the same hotel and café to explore their sexual desires. Their anonymity is reminiscent of characters in Alain Renais’ classic films, such as Hiroshima Mon Amour (1958) and Last Year at Marienbad (1961). However, instead of delving into memories or the aftermath of war, this tale focuses on the challenges faced by two people who struggle to connect emotionally and communicate effectively.
