Diary of a Fleeting Affair

Diary of a Fleeting Affair (2022) is a French comedy-drama directed by Emmanuel Mouret that you can watch online on iFILM. Sandrine Kiberlain and Vincent Macaigne play two self-aware adults who enter an arrangement that is, by mutual agreement, purely physical — no strings, no future, no complications.

She is a single mother. He is a married man. The rules are clear. The meetings are brief. The conversation is meant to stay inconsequential. It does not.

Mouret has spent his career filming how intelligent people rationalize themselves into exactly the situations they wanted to avoid. This one moves with a dry, precise wit that shades into something more melancholy by the end — the kind of film that shows nothing is actually casual when two people keep choosing each other.
