Movie Review | 'Come Undone'

Guilt, Anxiety, Obstacles: Adultery Is Hard Work

By Stephen Holden DEC. 2, 2010

Except during its three heated sex scenes, “Come Undone,” a sober exploration of the disruptive effects of adultery on family life, portrays infidelity, despite its thrills, as almost more trouble than it’s worth. At the same time those sex scenes (nude but not anatomically explicit) show the power of unleashed passion to make the rest of life feel like a laborious, frustrating slog. Directed by Silvio Soldini from a screenplay he wrote with Doriana Leondeff and Angelo Carbone, this movie is set in and around Milan, which is filmed without a smidgen of glamour.



Miserable and agitated when not together, Anna (Alba Rohrwacher), a comfortably married accountant for a small insurance agency, and Domenico (Pierfrancesco Favino), a slightly older waiter who is married, are seized by an irresistible carnal attraction once Anna impulsively makes the first move. The besotted lovers face the usual logistical obstacles. Where and when will they meet? And what lies can they get away with telling?



Unlike Luca Guadagnino’s “I Am Love” (also set in Milan) and Catherine Corsini’s “Leaving” (the South of France) — the year’s other prominent European adultery dramas — “Come Undone” is not an upscale bodice ripper with an explosive finale. It measures the day-by-day emotional cost of the affair: not only to Anna and Domenico, who are increasingly guilt-ridden and prickly with each other, but also to family, friends and business associates.



The lovers have to contend with intense work schedules, family obligations and financial stress. As Domenico bitterly observes late in the film, everything comes down to money, which he is forced to borrow. Given his limited resources, every expenditure involves a painful choice. Will the funds be spent on ballet lessons for his daughter or on a stolen vacation?



Because Anna and her clueless husband, Alessio (Giuseppe Battiston), a schlubby, good-hearted handyman, are childless, she has more free time, as well as the readymade alibi of having to work after hours. Alessio is pressuring Anna to have a baby, but she resists by secretly taking birth control pills.



Domenico and his attractive, high-strung wife, Miriam (Teresa Saponangelo), who has infidelity radar, have two young children, and his opportunities for escape are narrower. The lovers’ best chances to meet are during his once-a-week visits to a public swimming pool, during which they adjourn for trysts in a crummy motel.



Like Mr. Soldini’s last film, “Days and Clouds,” a calm, very sad examination of the effects of a husband’s sudden job loss on an affluent couple’s relationship and social life, “Come Undone” is solidly grounded in mundane reality. If the movie tells an old story, its unvarnished realism lends it poignancy and depth.
