Married Life Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007] Director: Ira Sachs, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 90 Ira Sachs’ wonderfully clear-eyed comic melodrama relocates British crime novelist John Bingham’s Five Roundabouts to Heaven to the Pacific Northwest in the late Forties. Harry (Chris Cooper) is dissatisfied with his marriage to Pat (Patricia Clarkson), and has found love with Kay (Rachel McAdams), who immediately attracts the attention of Harry’s womanizing friend Richard (Pierce Brosnan). Meanwhile, Harry, in order to spare Pat the humiliation of being left, is inspired to take drastic measures. Married Life is a beautifully rendered piece of period Americana and a perfectly acted four-hand roundelay. It is also an exceptionally wise look at the pitfalls and pathologies of marriage.
