Neil Jordan (Interview with a Vampire and The Crying Game) has made a stunning adaptation of Graham Greene's novel about obsession, jealousy, love, and the power of faith.

Ralph Fiennes is a novelist hired by Stephen Rea to spy on his wife, who may or may not be having an affair. Through a series of flashbacks we learn that Fiennes and Rea's wife (played beautifully by Julianne Moore) have a past.

End of the Affair is an exquisite film, masterfully directed and beautifully acted. It has hints of Age of Innocence and The Bridges of Madison County, but a soul all it's own. With stunning, and textured performances, End of the Affair also offers a complexity and honesty sorely lacking in many films today. Most interesting is the bond that develops between Fiennes and Rea. It's most unexpected and quite refreshing.

End of the Affair is, at once, beautiful and heartbreaking and one of Jordan's very best films.
