MOVIE OF THE WEEK February 5, 2021: TWO OF US

January 31, 2021February 12, 2021 Jennifer Merin barbara sukova, betsy bozdech, Cate Marquis, elizabeth whittemore, Filippo Menghetti, french films, jennifer merin, leslie combemale, loren king, martine chevallier, maryann johanson, motw, Movie of the Week, nikki baughan, Pam Grady, sandie angulo chen, susan wloszczyna, two of us

Boasting powerful performances by stars Barbara Sukowa and Martine Chevallier, Two of Us is a poignant, empathetic drama about two aging women who live in Paris whose love has lasted for decades but who’ve never felt free to live the life they dream of. Nina (Sukowa) and Madeline (Chevallier) don’t have especially ambitious goals for their retirement: All they want is to live together, openly, in Rome, as the couple they’ve been in secret for so long.

TWO OF US – Review by Karen Peterson

December 4, 2020January 30, 2021 Karen Peterson Barbara Sukowa, deux, Filippo Meneghetti, martine chevallier, two of us

With so many films about secret love, and many more about the complications of aging, it is remarkable when filmmakers find new stories to tell. Filippo Meneghetti gives us the romantic and heart-wrenching account of two retirees navigating their secret relationship in Two of Us (Deux).

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
