The Wife (DVD, 2017). Condition is "Brand new". Sent with Australia Post Standard Parcel.
Winner of the 2019 Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama (Glenn Glose).
Based on the novel by Meg Wolitzer.
Joan (Glenn Close, Damages) and Joe (Jonathan Pryce, Taboo) remain complements after nearly 40 years of marriage. Where Joe is casual, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain, Joan is self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as the great American novelist, Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm and diplomacy into the private role of a great man's wife.
As Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work, Joan starts to think about the shared compromises, secrets and betrayals.
Industry Reviews
"Watch Close's face in these early scenes; imagine what she's feeling because you will imagine something much different by the end." - Johanna Schneller, Globe and Mail
"The Wife is that increasingly rare offering, a commercially viable film that also makes you rethink your assumptions about talent and who gets to wield it." - Daphne Merkin, The New Republic
"Close owns this movie, from beginning to end; it's a performance of such intelligence and subtlety that only when the movie is long over do you start wondering about whether the plot holds up." - Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
"A woman empowered by the weight of a secret is the fuel for The Wife. Glenn Close delivers with pure and raw force." - Federico Furzan, Cinelipsis
