Innocence (2000)
Moral dilemma
Setting aside any comments on the writing, acting or old people sex, Ithis film presents a fascinating moral dilemma. Andreas and Julia were lovers in their twenties. They both married other people but upon the death of Andreas' wife, he sought out Julia, who is unhappily married to hapless John. Andreas has a medical problem and may be dying. Julia, decides to go for the thrill of her young love, in the process breaking John's heart. Andreas and Julia have three weeks of wild passionate love and sex. The passion ends unexpectedly when Julia has a heart attack and dies.
And that leads us to a fascinating question. Would you choose to destroy your spouse of 40 years (bad marriage though it is) for three weeks of blissful love and sex? So did Julia do the right thing?
