In the film by the Swedish director Björn Runge "The Wife" (2018), actors Christian Slater and Glenn Close played, she is remembered for her role in the film "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988). Then the actress seemed like a dazzlingly beautiful and elegant lady, but now that old halo of beauty in my eyes has already faded ... It's curious how my ideas about female beauty change with time and age.
Glenn Close, film "Dangerous Liaisons", 1988
The film "The Wife" tells the story of a family of writers who have lived together for 40 years. In his youth, her husband was a university professor of literature, he turned his head to a beautiful and talented student, and she eventually became his wife.
The husband did not enjoy success as a writer, and then his wife began to write books in his place, while remaining in the shadows. Published and commercially successful, critically-loved books bore her husband's name. The spouse bathed in the rays of undeserved glory, is selfish, capricious, weak in character, demanding ...
The husband repeatedly cheated on his aged wife with young, beautiful, enthusiastic readers and admirers. And at this time, the faithful wife modestly ran the household, raised the children and, in addition, worked daily at her desk on the texts of more and more books.
The couple waited until the birth of their grandchildren, then went to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, undeservedly awarded to her husband. The main events of the film took place in Sweden, I will not retell them, so as not to spoil the viewer's impression of watching. Just remember that the film is in the genre of "Drama".
A story about an unfaithful husband and a modest wife is not a new story for world cinema. But in the film "The Wife" there is a difference, because the film was shot by a Swede, which means that the traditions of the great director Bergman are evident in it.
The unhurried Scandinavian fluidity and attention to detail, the interesting plot, the wonderful acting of the old school actors made the film interesting and beautiful with a mature northern beauty, discreet, but rich and mesmerizing.
I recommend this movie, and ... try not to anger your other halves! Whoever is closer to us all knows all our secrets and weaknesses. It is the loved one who will do the maximum harm if he wants to betray his other half.
