Regrets - 2009 - 7/10
AKA - Les Regrets
Architect goes to hometown to see Ma in her deathbed.
On the streets, however, he sees his old flame. Their eyes lock.
For a few hours, they resist, citing marriage vows.
Fate prevails, and they are soon inside each other.
As the old sad song laments, "... that old flame might not be stronger, but it's been burnin' longer ..."
Of course there were reasons why they failed years earlier.
He is possessive, obsessive. She is indecisive, changing her mind every quarter hour.
Mismatched couple, common with late teens and early twenties dating.
Some grow out of this stage, meet more suitable partners. Others never get over the old torch.
Impeccable acting in an infuriating watch.
