Certificate:

Genre: Drama

Blurring the edges between reality and fiction, and in an era where we all live in public to a certain extent, "A Love Affair of Sorts" is a modern twist on a love affair in the digital age. Its narrative follows two lonely strangers in modern day Los Angeles, during the holiday season. The film begins with David, a painter, and Enci, a Hungarian nanny, who meet in a bookstore when he catches her shoplifting on his ever-present flip camera. As they start a tentative relationship, he captures it all on his digital camera, though nothing about the situation is as straightforward as it seems.

    Onionhead

    A Love Affair of Sorts seems to want to ask (without ever quite asking) whether technology makes people more narcissistic, but any answer to that question the film proposes is destined to be inconclusive. Certainly, if you spent your whole life walking around with a video camera, then that would tend to make interpersonal relationships more difficult, but this central device seems a rather gross exaggeration of our obsession with documentation. Still, in the end such questions seem largely beside the point; Levy's characters would almost certainly be as self-obsessed as they were devoid of interest even if no one was watching

    An occasionally intriguing navel-gazing misfire, but its unverifiable claim to be the first feature film shot entirely on flip cameras eventually comes across as nothing more than an excuse for stylistic sloppiness.
