Latvian animator and director Signe Baumane’s My Love Affair with Marriage offers a loosely autobiographical accounting of the life and loves of Zelma (voice of Dagmara Dominczyk), a Latvian artist who finds that her romantic programming and the biochemical workings of her body conspire against her long-term marital happiness. The animation is brilliant and Baumane’s acute observations of human movement and moods move us through the emotional ups and downs of a story with which most of us will be able to identify.
