Unfaithful 2002 Scene !!install!!

: Edward spots a snow globe on Paul’s shelf—a gift he had originally given to Connie. This confirms her betrayal in his eyes.

The "Train Scene" is often cited by critics as the moment the audience stops judging the character and starts empathizing with her. It strips away the romanticism of the affair and replaces it with a raw, visceral portrayal of anxiety.

The scene takes place immediately after Connie’s first tryst with Paul. She takes the commuter train back to her home in the suburbs. On paper, nothing dramatic happens. There are no explosions, no dialogue, and no other characters interacting with her. It is simply a woman sitting on a train, looking out the window.

In this scene, Connie Sumner (Diane Lane) takes a commuter train home to the suburbs after her first sexual encounter with Paul Martel (Olivier Martinez).

: Adrian Lyne is a master of the "erotic thriller" genre, having also directed Fatal Attraction and Indecent Proposal .
