4 titles · american genre
Adrian Lyne started in British television commercials and brought their gloss to Hollywood films about desire wrecking a comfortable life. A married New York lawyer has a weekend affair with a colleague who wants more than a weekend in Fatal Attraction. A suburban wife starts a fling in Unfaithful. Jacob's Ladder turns the dread inward, with a Vietnam veteran whose hallucinations and flashbacks keep breaking through.
