First I need to say that I was under the influence of the movie for a few days after watching it. My primitive understanding of life, love and other things was not enough to figure characters' motivations out. This movie didn't broaden my horizon but gave me a second horizon which I never want to look at consciously.
Movie is about a wife's affair with one of her husband's best friends (also an ex of wife). Husband is a preacher and invites his friend to their home. After a few failed attempts his friend and his wife have sex a few times and the last one is a bit different.
There are some interesting points having some clues about the actions of wife like she never seems neither lack of a good sex nor having an unloving husband, yet has sex with husband's friend. But once, she says that she had wild relationships, one night stands, lived everything etc. After her seperation with her ex then settled with the preacher husband (classic cliché). Chances are she might have developed some sex addiction during that era or she wants to figure out if she still interested in her ex. So, one might think that wife has some credible foundation for her actions until she has an unbelievable sexual intercourse with the ex under some weird conditions; she has sex letting her husband to hear them and watch them sleeping naked. She probably did it to be honest as much as possible against her husband. So she means that if you still want me you have to live through with this without making up things in your head but living it raw even if it's humiliating. (by the way first she apologizes from husband before sleeping with his friend). I have never seen a scene like this cruel and rude in any movie. It's a new level! Even a new dimension! Director shot the sex scenes explicit but yes it is true that when two people have sex it happens like that.
But if you can isolate yourself from the intense music that she plays with her cello, flows with the beautiful scenery and poker face of her, you can realize that she attracted only with familiar but different skin, odor, tounge, genitals, pattern of having sex, pressure, touch and penetration. It was all about having sex with another human being. She just wanted to taste it. That's it! That's all! And husband's friend's motivation is no exception!
Some tries to explain it with female hypergami or attractness of alpha male or feminist liberalism or male's trying to spread their sperms as much as possible bla bla bla... Those arguments might be true but sometimes... sometimes... rarely... not often... love prevents cheating, humiliating or hurting a partner. Love prevents a man from pointing a rifle to his best friend's head crying.
Husband truly loves his wife. But it's a very different version of love.
Husband's friend is worthless to talk about.
In my humble opinion the wife wants whole world with everything in it. She doesn't have a visible scar on her face but has a scar on her mind. One can see it in her eyes in the last scene when she stares at her husband and might yell " Oh God! Don't kill him!"
Absolutely worth to watch. 7 out of 10.
