The End of the Affair
(1999, 18, Col-Tri-Star, VHS/Rental, DVD/Retail)




Graham Greene's 1951 novel about the Second World War affair between an agnostic author and a middle-class Catholic housewife was the first time he had used a first-person narrator and told his story in a complicated series of flashbacks. His fellow Catholic, Neil Jordan, uses both these devices and is generally true to the book's spirit while making certain crucial changes. Ralph Fiennes is excellent as the bitter novelist with that 'splinter of ice in the heart', and he is well matched by Julianne Moore, whose English accent and manners are perfect as the adulteress who makes a pact with God.
