The TVI Take
Clint Eastwood's 1995 Robert James Waller adaptation anchored by Eastwood and Meryl Streep as an Iowa farm wife and a National Geographic photographer who have a four-day affair while her family is away. The structural commitment to letting the contained-domestic-moral-architecture register render adult romance at scale Hollywood typically refuses is canonical mid-1990s Eastwood directorial work.
