Watch An Almost Perfect Affair For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is a disappointing film. We never find out why Monica Vitti suddenly decides to betray her husband nor why Keith Carradine betrays his girlfriend in the United States. Raf Vallone portrays a powerful Italian Producer who may be a portrait of Carlo Ponti and/or Dino de Laurentis, but is puzzlingly passive when he discovers that his wife is unfaithful. Keith Carradine portrays a man with the emotional maturity of a high school student. It is puzzling that Monica Vitti's character is drawn to him. The only character which is drawn in some depth is Monica Vitti, Raf Vallone's wife. She had been very poor as a child, and is afraid of getting fat and losing her money. She says that when she was an actress - she was a bad actress. She tells us that this is the first time she has ever lied to her husband of many years (they also have a teenage daughter). Monica Vitti's dialog is the flawed words of an Italian who does not have a large English vocabulary and who has difficulty pronouncing English words - this is charming, but sometimes difficult to understand.

It's usually not a good sign when the supposed subplot of a movie is far more engrossing than the main storyline. Such is the case with "An Almost Perfect Affair," a romantic comedy about the brief encounter of a struggling young independent filmmaker from America (Keith Carradine) and a successful Italian producer's wife (Monica Vitti), set against the backdrop of the Cannes Film Festival. Although Carradine and Vitti do make an appealing couple, their romance is never as interesting as the scenes regarding Carradine's efforts to get his film shown.Fortunately, those scenes are entertaining enough to make the movie worth seeing in its own right. Dick Anthony Williams is a scene-stealer as an enthusiastic blaxploitation filmmaker who appoints himself as Carradine's partner and shows him the ropes of marketing, hype, and self-promotion.And speaking of self-promotion, another highlight of the film is a brief quasi-documentary interlude (filmed at the Cannes Festival itself as it happened) with notorious sex kitten Edy Williams pitching a self-scripted vehicle for herself. I wonder why that picture never got made...?

A young and idealistic American independent filmmaker falls in love with an Italian producer's worldly wife at the Cannes Film Festival.Gently appealing romance with lively detail and locations... but not very interesting, mainly due to the over-familiar and inconsequential plot.

I was in this bomb!! My friends and I were in the concert audience at the Hollywood Bowl when this was being filmed. When I saw the final copy of this film, all that remained of the audience footage was a one-second clip of me and my friend dancing! I'm the fat one in the yellow sweatshirt! But this film is not worth watching just to see MOI...even though that's the best part:)
