“Teeth outlast everything. Death is nothing to a tooth. Life is what destroys teeth.” In a blend of humor and realism the film prods at the complexities, paradoxes and tender beauties of marriage. It is a universal, insightful and complete human portrait of a “perfect” couple caught at a crossroads in their relationship. Campbell Scott and Hope Davis star as husband and wife dentists. When he suspects his wife of having an affair, Scott’s boundaries between fantasy and reality become blurred. Denis Leary is marvelous as Scott’s patient/conscience and Robin Tunney rounds out the cast as the couple’s dental assistant. Directed by Alan Rudolph. Screenplay by Craig Lucas, based on the best selling novella The Age of Grief by Jane Smiley. Produced by Campbell Scott and George Van Buskirk, for Holedigger Films Inc. and Ready Made Film. Director of Photography, Florian Bellhaus.
