Monday, November 13Two for the Road
A couple traveling to the south of France spin down the highways of infidelity in their troubled ten-year marriage. The film was considered somewhat experimental for its time because the story is told in a non-linear fashion, with scenes from the latter stages of the relationship juxtaposed with those from its beginning. The couple honestly analyze the fears and insecurities which have plagued them throughout their marriage, and look to their future.
