The Love Mates

1970

A cool, languid study of a couple's open arrangement that turns quietly uneasy as a new presence unsettles their balance.

Overview: Julien and Agatha appear to be a great couple, loving, caring and seem to feel complete with each other. Though Julien often gives the impression of being interested in other girls, his lover doesn't care all that much and sometimes even looks like she's encouraging him to do that. It all changes when they meet an American woman who'll change their lives and their perception of love.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, tense and cynical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Love, sexuality, identity, betrayal
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
