Directed by Berlin Silver Bear-winner Björn Runge, THE WIFE is adapted by Jane Anderson from the Meg Wolitzer novel of the same name. After nearly forty years of marriage, JOAN and JOE CASTLEMAN (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) are complements. Where Joe is casual, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain, Joan is self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as the great American novelist, Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm and diplomacy into the private role of a great man’s wife. As Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work, Joan starts to think about the shared compromises, secrets and betrayals.

Glenn Close already received a Golden Globe award for Best Actress.

A tender, tactile and just-sweet-enough story of hidden love, challenged faith and unwittingly shared grief.

“The film binds its narrative to fascinating explorations of national identity, sexuality, and, of course, food.”
– Pat Brown, Slant Magazine
