About Love Affair
A young woman on the verge of suicide tells her story to a driver who picks her up from the Elbe bridge: in order to free her husband from a blackmailer, she wanted to earn a lot of money through prostitution, but she finds it repulsive.
Directed by Reginald Puhl, Love Affair leans on a strong ensemble — Janie Murray, Bernd Hentschel, Klaus Dahlen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1980.
