Unholy Love - DVD

A family's dangerous legacy unravels as a mother's desperate wartime choices haunt the lives and loves of her sons. In 1990's New York, her eldest son (Josh Lucas) finds a way out of his tailspin of one night stands and scams when he befriends a charming co-worker (Adam Brody), while his brother (Lukas Haas) struggles in a compulsive, co-dependent relationship with their mother (Jacqueline Bisset). Death in Love is a darkly sensual exploration of the ties that bind.

In late-'50s Châteauroux, Jewish secretary Rachel Steiner (Virginie Efira) fell hard for charming but arrogant bourgeois Philippe Arnold (Niels Schneider)-but when she became pregnant, he flatly refused to marry outside his class. Her long fight for him to acknowledge their daughter Chantal actually led to more sorrow once he acceded. Catherine Corsini's take on Christine Angot's autobiographical opus co-stars Estelle Lescure and Jehnny Beth as the teen and adult Chantal. 135 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack French; Subtitles English; theatrical trailers. In French with English subtitles. C/Rtg NR
