The Haunting Affair

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2014)

Dustin Hoffman plays the character of Ben Braddock, a young man that Graduates from College. His parents have a party for him that right from the beginning shows that he is not interested in being the center of attention. At his party his is asked by his fathers partners wife, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) to bring her home. At her house she tries to seduce him which in return turns into an affair. An affair gone wrong when Ben falls in love with Mrs. Robinson's daughter Elaine Robinson, played by Katharine Ross.
From the beginning of the movie a lot of low key lighting is used. From the dim lighting in the hotel bar, Mrs. Robinson's house and the bedroom.
The love affair gone wrong shows how despair ruins someone over time as Ben's character changes throughout the movie.
The cinematography in the movie was brilliant. Showing of Ben entering the hotel room, falling into the bed and shown sitting in the bed. It showed a series of events all in one scene.
The film contains a lot of short clips within long take scenes.
Overall it was a great combined film of form and content.
