After entering into a passionate affair with a much younger woman, an unhappily married man resorts to murder as a means of sparing his frigid wife the humiliation of divorce in director
Ira Sachs' suspenseful
film noir. Set in the 1940s,
Marriage tells the tale of
Harry (
Chris Cooper) -- a man whose faithful but emotionally distant wife (
Patricia Clarkson) has become all but impossible to love. Smitten by the beautiful
Kay (
Rachel McAdams) but ultra-sensitive to the shame associated with divorce,
Harry opts to poison his wife as a means of allowing the marriage to end with her pride still intact.
Harry's scheme soon goes horribly awry, however, when after revealing the plan to his best friend,
Richard (
Pierce Brosnan),
Richard too falls in love with the ethereal young beauty and sets into motion a cunning plan all his own. A serpentine tale of murderous deception,
Marriage was co-scripted by director
Sachs and screenwriter
Oren Moverman.
