One of
Woody Allen's most seemingly biographical films,
Husbands and Wives opens with upper-middle class Manhattan couple
Sally (
Judy Davis) and
Jack (
Sydney Pollack) announcing to their best friends, the Roths, that they are splitting up.
Gabe Roth (
Allen) and his wife
Judy (
Mia Farrow) are taken aback by their casual revelation.
Jack begins dating his dim, but sexy, aerobics instructor and
Sally starts up a tentative romance with
Michael (
Liam Neeson).
Gabe and
Judy begin analyzing their marriage, discovering that they might not be meant to stay together. English professor
Gabe begins a serious flirtation with a student of his named
Rain (
Juliette Lewis) and
Judy begins to have feelings for
Michael. Eventually,
Sally and
Jack reconcile, but have not improved their relationship.
Gabe and
Judy end up going their separate ways.
Husbands and Wives was seemingly influenced by
Ingmar Bergman's
Scenes From a Marriage.
