Rodney’s Wife takes place in 1962, in Rome, where a fading movie star (David Strathairn) and his wife of ten years (Haviland Morris) find themselves entangled in an unraveling web of secrets and lies that threatens to undermine their family’s tenuous bond. The latest work by the acclaimed writer/director Richard Nelson, Rodney’s Wife is both an elegiac look at Americans finding themselves in a foreign land, and a white-hot observation of a family torn apart by sexual impropriety.
