Story: |
Behind any great man, there's always a greater woman - and you're about to meet
her. It is crucial you get to know this woman - many of us already do and don't
even realise it. Joan Castleman (Glenn Close): a highly intelligent and
still-striking beauty - the perfect devoted wife. Forty years spent sacrificing
her own talent, dreams and ambitions to fan the flames of her charismatic
husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and his skyrocketing literary career. Ignoring his
infidelities and excuses because of his "art" with grace and humour. Their
fateful pact has built a marriage upon uneven compromises. And Joan's reached
her breaking point. On the eve of Joe's Nobel Prize for Literature, the crown
jewel in a spectacular body of work, Joan's coup de grace is to confront the
biggest sacrifice of her life and secret of his career. The Wife is a poignant,
funny and emotional journey; a celebration of womanhood, self-discovery and
liberation.
