Infamously about two "cousins" who engage with an affair after a chance meetup during their true cousins' wedding after their partners are also equally having affairs.
I think the best descriptor here is this feels light and carefree. No one really was going the distance to hide their affairs AND much of the drama that happened in this film are mostly about the other problems of their spouses irrelevant to the affair. It's not really shocking when the film ended that way lol.
Though, I do not see why or how this was acclaimed. It such light fluff with a generic premise (but interesting handle on the subject). I guess something is loss when our sensibilities also had moved further of the time. I think maybe it was a new outlook then BUT time had tamed the text so much that something is lost for viewers like me. It does not help that the themes tackled were not particularly pointed.
Performance wise, it tends to its material. They charmed it up indeed but none of the actors where particularly noteworthy. The direction is standard of the time.
Not recommended.
