Is it possible to find an absolute truth in questions regarding love, passion, jealousy, hate or even faith? One plotline in The End of the Affair concerns an investigation. It is hard to imagine a more rational process: monitoring, taking notes, photography - proof. But of what? Something is gradually pieced together from the investigation and seemingly relevant details, but the real point of the story is what meaning its characters attribute to these fragments and the tales they create from them. And the fact that they sometimes end up misleading themselves. Add in their dutiful and random actions, not to mention a sprinkling of wonder. And be prepared for the fact that Neil Jordan will not spare your feelings. This film will play upon your emotions and your compassion.
