Members Only: Marie and Bruce with Wallace Shawn

Director: Tom Cairns

2004 / 90min / 35mm

Wallace Shawn presents a very special encore screening for Metrograph members, featuring a post screening conversation with surprise guests.

Shawn co-authored the script for this darkly funny, shot-on-HD screen adaptation of his 1978 play of the same title with director Cairns, featuring Julianne Moore and Matthew Broderick as the eponymous couple, long marinated in mutual resentment, their acrimonious domestic war of attrition coming to a head over the course of the film’s 24 hour timeline and threatening mutual destruction. An unflinching, acerbic, and frequently abrasive study of a relationship in final meltdown mode, featuring an original score by Soul Coughing’s Mark Degli Anthony and a plum supporting cast that includes Julie Hagerty, Bob Balaban, and Griffin Dunne.

Please Note: This special members only screening is general admission with no reserved seating.
