**Film: The End of the Affair** **Director:** Neil Jordan **Adapted from:** *The End of the Affair* **Release date:** 11 February 2000 (UK) **Story by:** Graham Greene **Starring:** Ralph Fiennes, Julianne Moore and Stephen Rea. **Review by: Dr Usman Latif Khawaja** The movie brings themes of religion, adultery, faith and carnal love intelligently to the screen without making a cliché of a melodramatic love story where a spouse is cheating on her rather indifferent, cold-blooded, bureaucratic husband in a discreet affair. Set in the turbulent London West End during World War II, the movie is almost as calm as the Blitz is otherwise, and the rapture of the two lovers almost makes a perfect adaptation of the complex Graham Greene book, translating spiritually onto the screen. Stephen Rea is the cuckolded husband, while the two eclectic leads, who are the soul of this artistic piece, are the two illicit lovers, played with immaculate brilliance and profound insight by Julianne Moore, who has never looked or acted better, and Ralph Fiennes, who is her clandestine lover in a role better acted than even *The English Patient*, as they conduct a perilous affair while the bombs fall around
