A Parisian woman has a torrid, addictive affair with a Russian diplomat in the French drama 'Simple Passion,' starring Laetitia Dosch.
The film opens with Hélène describing her obsession with her lover, presumably to a therapist, trying to explain how they met and how her life has been dictated by waiting for him to call, to show up, to grant her the attention and affection she so craves. As we witness the affair unfold in a sexually candid and intimate manner, Hélène always yearns for more from the elusive Alexandre. She ignores her work and her son, as her desire becomes compulsive.
There’s only one way that this relationship was ever going to end, and “Simple Passion” thrusts its way through the ever-predictable motions. All too quickly, one starts to question just what narrative purpose all this sex is serving . The sex scenes rarely move the story forward, except that we understand that the more sex they have, the more complicated their relationship, nay, addiction to each other becomes.Perhaps it’s due to Polunin’s opaque performance.
