what an ending! Was this a cop-out? - I wanted to know how last night affected their marriage, instead of given the most subtle, ambigious clue, leaving it too open to the viewer. The guys who make the film and dedicate themselves to it, the writers, directors and actors, they know the story better than the audience, they live it. So I felt they could have given a little more at the end. Not necessarily a neatly tied up ending, but this was the opposite extreme - it's entirely left to the viewers interpretation. the marriage could go either way. What was beautiful about the film for the first 99%, that the characters are walking right on the line the whole time, even when they both cross it(!) becomes a problem at the end when the consequences are left untold. So was it a cop-out, or were the issues the film makers were dealing with too deep to come close to any resolution?
It's about how when people are married they are faced with temptations and how men and women fight it in different ways, in this film the man is weaker and gives in when tempted. And most importantly how a marriage can survive even after infidelity....
I would argue the latter: that the plot is more about how infidelity affects a marriage rather than how a situation of infidelity develops in a marriage...that's why this movie was great...excellent minimalist and real time acting and real world situations and passions & temptations...
