The Wife (2017)
Country: GB/Sweden/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 99m
Director: Björn Runge
Cast: Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater, Max Irons
Synopsis:
While on a visit to Stockholm to attend the ceremonial surrounding her husband's Nobel Prize for literature, a woman looks back over her life and comes to view her sacrifices in a fresh light.
Review:
A cumulative flashback structure trades ruminative thought for the more cinematic slow reveal, but this is nevertheless an intriguing premise that retains a sufficient number of 'tells' in its unfolding for the alert viewer not to feel manipulated. As the Academy noted, it is to be relished above all for its acting, which is like sampling a well matured wine.
