The combination of almost documentary approach with non-linear storytelling makes Love Affair arguably Makavejev's finest work.
The documentary approach, including a lot of archive footage, echoes Innocence Unprotected (Nevinost bez zatite) as we follow common people during what turned out to be socialism's heyday in former Yugoslavia.
Non-linear storytelling has later been driven to the excess in WR: Mysteries of Organism (WR: Misterije organizma) rendering Love Affair much more accessible.
This must have been an extraordinary movie at the time, along with rather brave Eva Ras in one of the lead roles.
