jeniya I caught this film on VOD as I'm learning Swedish and already knew Peter Haber's work through the Beck films and so gave it a chance. I really enjoyed the un-starriness of it all, one of the things I love about European film-making with Swedish films becoming a firm favourite.To me the film showed perfectly the tedious and mundane lives the main characters lived which are only really enlivened when Simon and Ingrid start to fall in love. The passion and anxieties exhibited by the characters felt to me very real and very grounded and therefore more believable.I felt it also showed well the far reaching consequences that can occur when people have affairs and the difficult choices people have to make when they try to grab that last piece of happiness, that they thought they might never experience again. All in all it's worth trying to catch if you are tired of Hollywood and want something a little different.

torgust-1 I hadn't heard anything about this film before I saw it was to be shown on cable television one late night. Because I liked "White lies" by Mats Arehn, I taped "En förälskelse" and found it real good. I watched "Unfaitful" with Richard Gere some weeks ago, but found "En förälskelse" better and more realistic. It shows how destructive and insane unfaithfulness can be. But it shows good sides too and the film expresses the human longing for true love very well. The actors are doing a very good job and I really would like to see much more films with Nina Gunke. Though the film might seem quite dark, I found some optimistic, liberating sparks. For example when Anna says: "This is the first time I do something my father would have disapproved of." And when Anna says, like she really means it, to her mother: "I do this, not because you say so, but because I want to!" Like "Unfaithful" this film has some unexpected twists and also kind of an open ending. And the ending in "En förälskelse" creates a twist of longing in my stomach: "Let it be!"
