Eine Affäre - Verbotene Liebe

At the start it seems like Markus is stalking Anita (not confirmed) , but very quickly turns other way around. Anita is obsessed with Markus and does unforgivable things. Not a thriller in the slightest but a warning example of female stalkers and predatory behavior.

This movie surprised me by how much kept me invested with the story. It's not for everyone and takes turns that other films wouldn't. But aside from its flaws, it is a steamy and well crafted character driven drama with erotism.

Just imagine if the genders in this film were reversed the people hailing it would be condemning it as a excuse for rape. And we are seeing rape portrayed here. While 16 maybe the age of consent in many countries, in EVERY developed country there is a specific exclusion of consent if the adult involved is a teacher or person with supervisory/"en loco parentis" role, ie a teacher etc. this film actually blames the young man who is a rape victim.

During this movie I found myself watching this woman, doing and taking it all wrong from the start. And as I was starting to judge her I couldn't help but feel for her. With that being said, I cannot understand why they describe the movie as a thriller, for if it is, it must be a very light form of it. Secondly, it's never proven if she was followed or stalked by anyone, and if she was, it wasn't proven by whom. Anyways, good movie.

Bad acting, bad plot. Do your self a favor and watch something else
