Sony Pictures Classics has released the trailer for their upcoming drama The Wife, which stars screen veterans Jonathan Pryce and Glenn Close.
Joan Castleman (Glenn Close) is a highly intelligent and still-striking beauty – the perfect devoted wife. Forty years spent sacrificing her own talent, dreams and ambitions to fan the flames of her charismatic husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and his skyrocketing literary career. Ignoring his infidelities and excuses because of his “art” with grace and humor. Their fateful pact has built a marriage upon uneven compromises and Joan’s reached her breaking point. On the eve of Joe’s Nobel Prize for Literature, the crown jewel in a spectacular body of work, Joan’s coup de grace is to confront the biggest sacrifice of her life and secret of his career.?The Wife is a poignant, funny and emotional journey; a celebration of womanhood, self-discovery and liberation.
Björn Runge directs from a script by Jane Anderson, who adapted Meg Wolitzer’s bestseller. The Wife opens in the UK on September 28th. Here’s that new trailer.
