Yes, I saw it in the theatre. I've been a Diane Lane fan for several decades. While I felt "Unfaithful" was quite good, it is Diane's performance which is especially remarkable. There is one scene on a train which is unforgettable, as you watch so many shades of emotion cross her face, and you know exactly what she's feeling. It is definitely an Oscar nomination-worthy performance, but one I'm afraid will be overlooked because it's an "Adrian Lyne film" and was released too early in the year for voters' memories. You MUST see this if you're a Diane fan -- and you'll probably want to own it.

It was very good mvie. I agree Diane Lane was great in it. As far as the Oscar goes I think that's why they're relesing it so late on dvd. I think this came out in the right around spider-man in May so I think she still has a shot.

Coming from a female's point of view, man who would cheat on Ricard Gere?
Richard Gere is better looking (my opinion) than the other guy.
I wouldn't have gone in that guy's house after I fell.
I've only seen the trailer/previews and I'm getting this disc.

Well, once you see the movie, you will see that the wife didn't want to go to the other guys house after falling. But then she has a flashback to when Richard bought a gerbil the week before, and she has a change of heart.

I got it and it's a great movie and disc
Mine arrived yesterday and I spent most of the night watching it. It's a great movie and the disc is feature-loaded with good picture and sound. The acting by Diane Lane has to be seen to be believed.

Charlie Rose Interview
Does anyone else think that the Charlie Rose Show interviews with Diane Lane etc is so COOL! A really great and entertaining interview and a cool supplement. Charlie rocks!

I saw a sneak preview of this movie, and when it came out in theaters. My GF absolutly LOVES this movie, so I guess I will be buying the DVD....
For Diane Lane fans, apparently she will be starring in the upcoming remake of Dawn of the Dead.

I did think this was a pretty good movie and the performances were great. However being married, this is not exactly the happiest film for me to watch. I won't be getting this DVD. It's just not a fun subject to think about.

I enjoyed the movie but am debating on whether to pick this one up. Diane Lane is the only replay value IMO.
DVDfile gave it a strong review. Here it is http://www.dvdfile.com/software/revi...faithful.html.

I haven't seen "Unfaithful" yet even though I purchased the movie on Tuesday.
I thought abot this.
I realize both "Fatal Attraction" and "Unfaithful" were made by the same director.
Well, I have seen the trailers for "Unfaithful".
In "Fatal Attraction" do you remember when Michael Douglas was outside and his umbrella turned upside down because of a strong gust of wind from the rain?
Well, in "Unfaithful" doesn't Diane fall down?
Itsn't it raining in that movie too when this happens?

Just rented it today. For me, the only good parts are seeing Diane Lane naked. I felt the movie was too slow. I thought it was going to be Fatal Attraction w/ a psycho new boyfriend, but I guess I was wrong. Maybe if Richard Gere was an ass... I'd be able to understand why she had the affair. Seemed to have a happy life.

An amazing thriller that is as thoughtful and mature as it is sexy and cool. Diane Lane gives the performance of her long career here. The DVD is an absolute cracker with a huge amount of quality extras. Video and audio are of reference standard.

guess i'm the only one who actively hated this movie
the girl i was with didn't seem to hate it as much as me, but she did comment that she was disappointed.
thankfully, as a fan of Lane, i can still look forward to her best film coming out in a couple weeks.

My only beef is that why was a movie like this released in 2 separate formats? Usually, it's just mindless fodder like MIB 2 or Goldmember that get separate releases.
Reason I bring it up, is that my local Blockbuster only carried the Full Frame version - needless to say I did not rent it from them.
As for the movie -

i have a sneaking suspicion that it was shot full frame and matted for the widescreen disc.
so if you want to appreciate the art that is unfaithful, pick up the widescreen version.
if you just want to perv out over miss lane, the full frame will probably give you more...ahem...of the picture.
Dl is a favorite of mine, but i just found this movie way to weak to want to own.
