The Clearing - 6

An interesting film about a deep love and a shallow love, and the jealousy that results from the longing for what you do not want to pursue in a just way. This film depicts the love between an older, retired couple who have been through an affair but who still deeply love each other. It also has is about the jealousy that others have not only for their kind of love, but also for their money/lifestyle (They have been successful in business). In the end it is the ultimate test of this deep love as well as the draw for material wealth and well being. I think the story is sufficiently complex to make it not only interesting but also true to the reality that we live in. We have many things competing for our attention and many choices to make about how we decide to live in relation with others as well as the material world that we live in.
