The Affair

A young man returns home to Pittsburgh and moves in with an older woman, on whom he begins to rely for emotional and financial support, leading to a complex exploration of their relationship and his struggles to find direction in life. As they navigate their unlikely partnership, Chris must confront the consequences of his past choices and the weight of societal expectations that threaten to suffocate him. With its offbeat tone and satirical commentary on class and responsibility, this 1971 film showcases George A. Romero's unique voice as a director.
