For the love of the institution, and for better or worse, we will watch both classic and contemporary films highlighting matrimonial relationships of all shapes and sizes. All five movies are Oscar nominees and winners! After viewing the film as a group, we’ll have a lively discussion where you’ll be asked to speak now or forever hold your peace. Directors in the spotlight include George Cukor, Mike Nichols, Cameron Crowe, Noah Baumbach, and Celine Song. Participants are more than welcome to come to any of the films, even if you can’t commit to all five.
