Bridges of Madison County (1995)

I would have used a bigger camera for that sort of work.

Closed-minded provincials don’t approve of a farmer's Italian war bride Meryl Streep. She starts sleeping with Clint Eastwood while her farmer husband is out of town.

I read a critique of the movie when it came out. It argued that being trapped in a passionless marriage with a wife nobody likes was no picnic for her husband, either, but we don't see him sleeping with a female Clint Eastwood equivalent.

The story is told in flashback. The woman has died and her two adult children go through her things and are shocked at what they find.

A middle-aged version of The Titanic. If the relationship had been allowed run its course, the illicit couple would have been tired of it after a couple of weeks, but here they remain fixated on each other into old age.
