<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Cast: </span>Richard Gere, Diana Lane <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Direction: </span>Adrian Lyne <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Rating: </span>*** <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Review: </span>A remake of Claude Chabrol''s 1968 French film La Femme Infidele, this psychological thriller examines the consequence of adultery.Directed with restraint by Adrian Lyne (Indecent Proposal, Fatal Attraction), Unfaithful focuses on the domestic crisis which threatens the lives of a long-married couple.The husband (Gere) assumes that his wife (Lane) is happy. After all, they have a perky son and a glitzy suburban mansion. But his existence turns topsy-turvy when he discovers that his wife is having a passionate affair with a book dealer (Olivier Martinez).Lyne succeeds in creating an erotic ambience without being exploitative or offensive. If we have any reservations, it is about the contrived denouement. Richard Gere glides comfortably into the role of the betrayed husband. As his wife, Diane Lane is excellent. This stylish reprise is eminently worth sampling. </div> </div>
