5. Anaïs in Love (2021)

‘Anaïs in Love’ is as much a holiday movie as a comedy movie that deals with infidelity with lots of “falls for” in it. Directed by Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet, the movie tells the story of 30-year-old Anaïs (Anaïs Demoustier), who is in an unhappy relationship with her boyfriend, Raoul (Christophe Montenez), when a married man, Daniel (Denis Podalydès), much aged, falls for her. With Anaïs looking for a way out, the unlikely pair tries to get things going. But this is not what the movie is about. It is about what happens when Anaïs falls in love with Daniel’s live-in partner Emilie (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), who is a famous writer. As Anaïs hangs out with Emilie in the gorgeous terrain of the Brittany peninsula, we get a sense of unfiltered longing and belonging that the two women are secretly brewing for each other. You can watch the film here.

4. Elena Undone (2010)

‘Elena Undone’ is a rather “intense affair” as we see Elena, the wife of a pastor who is pro-anti-homosexuality, fall in love with Peyton, who is a lesbian writer. But it takes time for their connection to turn into friendship and then blossom into love. It is this steady, nuanced progress and the way it is portrayed that makes the movie worthwhile. Peyton has her reservations, while Elena knows that if she goes forward, there’s no going back to her family, which comprises her husband and son. Directed by Nicole Conn, the ‘Elena Undone’ cast includes Necar Zadegan as Elena, Traci Dinwiddie as Peyton, Gary Weeks, and Connor Kramme. You may watch the film here.
