| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
A wry blend of dark humor, romantic deception, and stylish
melodrama - with an invigorating dash of suspense - Married
Life is an unconventional fable for grown-ups about the irresistible
power and utter madness of love.
After decades of marital contentment, Harry (Chris Cooper)
concludes that he must kill his wife Pat (Patricia Clarkson)
because he loves her too much to let her suffer when he leaves
her. Harry has fallen hard for the young and lovely Kay (Rachel
McAdams), but his best friend Richard (Pierce Brosnan) wants
to win Kay for himself.
As Harry implements his maladroit plans for murdering his
wife, the other characters are entangled with their own deceptions.
Like Harry, they race towards their passions but trip over
their scruples, seemingly well-intended towards all, but truthful
to none.
Married Life is an uncommonly adult film that surprises and
confounds expectations. While it plays with mystery, comedy,
and intrigue, its ultimate concern is: "What is married
life?" In its sly way, Married Life poses perceptive
questions about the seasonal discontents and unforeseen joys
of all long-term relationships.
