A Married Couple

In Allan King's cinema verite classic, Billy and Antoinette Edwards let it all hang out. King and his crew captured over 70 hours of footage for this jaw-dropping examination of a marriage in trouble, which "makes John Cassavetes's Faces look like early Doris Day" (Time). Intense and hectic, frightening and funny, A MARRIED COUPLE is ultimately a film about the eternal power struggle in romantic relationships, as well as a document of the moment when entrenched gender roles began to crumble.
