Movie Night + Discussion Schedule, Content and Registration
The Wife
Thursday, December 3, 2020 - 6:45 pm to 10:00 pm, 3 CEs
Location: live on Zoom
Description: Swedish director Bjorn Runge's 2017 drama, The Wife, from Meg Wolitzer's novel of the same name, is a taut character study of a woman who, after 30 odd years of marriage, questions the life choices she has made in order to maintain a stable relationship.
The film opens in 1992 with the Castlemans: Joseph (Jonathan Pryce), a successful writer and his wife Joan (Glenn Close), in their Connecticut home when a phone call from Sweden announces that Joseph is to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Pryce delivers a terrific performance of a narcissist character masking his own pain. Castleman is engaging yet infuriating: a man relishing the fame and notoriety of his success but equally codependent on his wife (to whom he has been unfaithful) to meet his basic needs.
The Wife is a clever, subtle and moving portrait of a woman whose strength is hidden to those who simply see her as the wife and an indictment of the treatment of women in the literary world.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
1. Describe two ways patriarchal ideas and practices can impact the organization of a marriage.
2. Identify two trade-offs for women which perpetuate a wife’s dilemma about how to support her husband and have a life of her own.
3. Define a minimum of two practices needed to utilize a dialogic methodology that includes all voices inviting clinicians to share their perspectives about difficult and divisive issues in a “safe/respectful” exchange so that they can use these practices in their work.
Reviews:
“Like a cat-and-mouse game of egos, expectations and psychological flip-flops, ?The Wife? unspools in a series of chance encounters, flashbacks and moments of dawning consciousness.” Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
“Close plays this ignored, pushed-aside woman like a gathering storm, drawing us into the mind and heart of a heroine who's not going to take it any more.”
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
