A woman who has drifted away from her boyfriend's affections finds love in the arms of his son in this independent
drama.
Laura (
Dina Korzun) is an attractive woman in her early thirties who was living in her native Russia when she met
Alan James (
Rip Torn), a legendary music producer from Memphis.
Alan brought
Laura back to the United States and moved in with her, but now that the couple have a three-year-old son,
Laura finds herself a stranger in the city she now calls home and is growing increasingly distant from the philandering
Alan. After a testimonial tribute to
Alan,
Laura meets his grown son
Michael (
Darren E. Burrows) for the first time;
Michael has a difficult and sometimes combative relationship with
Alan and prefers to keep a distance from him and his life, but
Michael and
Laura find they quickly develop a strong rapport.
Laura and
Michael's friendship soon grows into an affair, but as
Laura considers her unhappiness with
Alan, she also feels guilty about betraying a man who has given her a life she would hardly have dared to dream of when she was younger.
Forty Shades of Blue was helmed by
Ira Sachs (who earned enthusiastic reviews for his 1997 debut feature
The Delta), from a script he co-wrote with
Michael Rohatyn.
