After nearly forty years of marriage, Joan and Joe Castleman (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) are complements. Where Joe is vain and casual, Joan is elegant and self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as Great American Novelist, Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm, and diplomacy into the private role of Great Man's Wife. About to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work, 'The Wife' interweaves the story of the couple's youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage, thirty-plus years later — a lifetime's shared compromises, secrets, betrayals, and mutual love. Writes The Guardian, "As the apparently-perfect wife of a Nobel prize-winning writer, Close gives arguably her best ever performance in an adaptation of Meg Wolitzer's novel." Rated R, the film runs 100 minutes. CC/DN. Learn more at bozemanfilmsociety.org — and Keep 'Em Flickering!
