A married woman with a lovely daughter lives a carefree life, until she meets her ex-lover at a friend’s wedding. They haven’t seen each other in ten years, but they begin an affair.
Our read: Red (2020) reads as a sombre, measured, grounded romance entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, measured, gentle romance, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
