For Lovers Only

Who knows why I decided to watch For Lovers Only, but I did. It was not a good selection for many reasons. One thing that would have made this movie better was having a sound engineer. I needed to increase the volume to just hear the principals talk, but I had to quickly turn the volume down with the music track. Additionaly, this film was done in black and white. I have no idea why because it did nothing to enhance this movie. For Lovers Only stars the unknown actors (to me) Mark Polish, Stana Katic, Jean-Claude Thibaut. So what happens?

Photographer Yves (Polish) and the journalist Sophia (Katic), former lovers, meet, by chance, in Paris after a separation of eight years. Both of them seem to be in crisis with their lives. Yves no longer does fashion photography and we see him photographing dead pigeons. Naturally his employer unhappy with his photos. It is not entirely clear what is Sophia's problem, but, in the first scene, her chauffeur points out that she always looks so unhappy. Until she meets up with Yves, Sophia just sits alone in her luxury suite. What follows is their romp around France from Nice to Mont Saint Michel, with each hopelessly in love with the other. However, this is destined not to last because both are married and have lives to return to in the States.

I do not recommend this slow movie with many technical problems. You can find something better to watch.
