4º – The War of the Roses (Danny DeVito, 1989)
The film shows all the steps of a couple’s relationship, from the moment they meet each other until they both hate each other. Through this exposure of the lives of the two individuals that make up this troubled relationship, the film always relies on eventual comical situations emanating in certain scenes. ‘The War of the Roses’ is a regular film, always a good choice when we talk about the genre of comedy, which, however, manages to show lightly the whole compendium of madness that comprises the relationship of some individuals. The film still has a memorable final scene, explaining all the content worked in its almost two hours of duration.
3º – Sex, Lies, and Videotape (Steven Soderbergh, 1989)
We will have the lives of four characters intertwined in a tangle of betrayal, jealousy and sex. Here, the film presents a pessimistic view about marriage, showing its bland compendium of some situations and not offering positive aspects. An interesting film, with a concise script, providing the viewer with an engaging story and proposing some interesting questions about our insertion in the traditional social scope.
2º – Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Mike Nichols, 1966)
We will spend a few hours accompanying the lives of Martha and George, two married individuals for a long period of time, who, after returning from a party, enter into a cathartic clash over the instances that comprise that relationship. The 1960s classic, ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ Makes it clear to her viewer how a relationship can wear off over the years.
1º – Bed & Board (François Truffaut, 1970)
Belonging to the saga of Antoine Doinel in theaters, ‘Bed & Board’ shows the character in his married life. We will see the man’s day to day with his wife, the symbiotic process of the two together and the possible betrayals that Antoine commits. Propelling a pleasant atmosphere, as is traditional in François Truffaut’s films, the film is very entertaining to explore the setbacks faced by the characters.
