Lovers

A rare indie that treats sexual tension among adults as something other than a midlife crisis in progress. Cultural critic David Kepesh begins an affair with his composed student Consuela, unraveling his carefully curated detachment. The film mistakes repression for depth, but at least the lighting stays moody.
