The Wife Genre: Drama Directed by: Bjorn Runge Starring: Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Frances McDormand, Christian Slater, Max Irons, Annie Starke Release Date: TBA 2017
Plot synopsis: “Joe Castleman (Pryce) is being given the Nobel Prize for Literature, and he and wife Joan (Close) couldn’t be happier. But from the moment the couple arrives in Stockholm, tensions rise. A nosy, insistent would-be biographer (Christian Slater, who also appears at this year’s Festival in The Summit) is loitering in the hotel lobby, an attractive young photographer opens old wounds regarding past indiscretions, and Joe and Joan’s son David (Max Irons), eternally irked at living in his father’s shadow, sulks through the celebrations. What’s more, with all the attention being paid to Joe’s long career, the normally shy Joan is pushed uncomfortably into the spotlight, where long-kept secrets are in danger of being illuminated.”
