Synopsis
Middle-aged suburban husband Richard abruptly tells his wife, Maria, that he wants a divorce. As Richard takes up with a younger woman, Maria enjoys a night on the town with her friends and meets a younger man. As the couple and those around them confront a seemingly futile search for what they've lost -- love, excitement, passion -- this classic American independent film explores themes of aging and alienation.

Cinematic Threads
I love Cassavetes and obviously feel very connected to that style of filmmaking. The way he was able to tell stories about real people and real relationships, particularly in films like Faces and A Woman Under the Influence, was incredibly influential.
