Monogamy, in all of its intricate and complex glory, has
been the fodder of indie romances for generations – and will continue to do so
for generations to come. The practice of committing oneself wholeheartedly to a
single person forever is a tradition as old as time, and in Hollywood cinema,
we’ve seen storytellers explore the nuances of relationships from practically
every angle over the years.
But the romantic drama remains
fertile ground for filmmakers, and the latest creator to foster his own
story of love and heartbreak is Mexican director Rafael Palacio
Illingworth. It’s called Between Us, and
orbits around Ben Feldman (Superstore) and Olivia Thirlby (Juno) as a thirty-something couple struggling to
maintain that fiery, intoxicating spark that allowed them to fall madly in love
in the first place.
After six years together, the
‘honeymoon period’ is but a distant memory, and together they’re forced to
confront the reality of spending the rest of their lives with one another. As
the trailer above teases, that’s a journey that will involve rekindling old
interests as much as it does resisting the possibility of new romantic thrills.
Between Us, also starring Adam
Goldberg, Analeigh Tipton, Betsy Brandt and Lesley Ann Warren, is expected to release on VOD and in select theatres
on January 6, 2017.
