Robert Fraisse claimed From the novel of the same namewhich has sold over one million copies in 43 languagesthis ´sophisticated adaptation of Marguerite Duras´ best-selling memoirs´ (Variety) smolders on the screen. ´Masterfully acted and beautifully photographed´ (Critics´ Choice), The Lover brilliantly captures the essence of sexual awakening and forbidden desire like no other film has donebeforeor since. Jane March is mesmerizing in the role of a poor French teenager who engages in an illicit affair with a wealthy Chinese heir (Tony Leung) in 1920s Saigon. For the first time in her young life she has control, and she wields it deftly over her besotted lover throughout a series of clandestine meetings and torrid encounters. But though the lovers are able to transcend their differences in age, race and class´theirs is a future that French colonial Vietnamese society will never allow.
