Married Life, which was directed by Ira Sachs, follows Richard’s (Pierce Brosnan) narrative. He talks us through the life of his friend Harry (Chris Cooper) and his “happy” marriage with his wife (Patricia Clarkson) and his lover, Kay (Rachel McAdam). Harry hopes to sooth the pain of everyone involved in this love triangle by using questionable philosophy.
As I watch this feature I notice the chain smoking immediately. This intriguing to me, because if this was actually being shown in the time period that this movie was set in (1940s), it would fit right in. The costumes were spot on, as well as the make up for the ladies. Notably Rachel McAdam blond hair and red lip stick. The only disappointment in this feature is that it seemed to be a quick love story. The lose ends for the questions of does she still love him, or how did they end up together. The one major perk for me was the wonderful soundtrack chosen for this film.
