Love is Strange
Not your conventional romantic comedy.
Overview
John Lithgow and Alfred Molina star in this understated gem from director Ira Sachs. After 39 years together, New Yorkers Ben (Lithgow) and George (Molina) are finally able to marry but the celebrations are short-lived.
George is fired from his job as a music teacher at a Catholic school which isn't prepared to turn a blind eye to his sexuality any longer. Without the income to keep their cushy apartment, they decide to separate until something else comes up.
George stays with the much younger gay couple downstairs. Ben moves in with his nephew, who’s rarely home, leaving his novelist wife (Marisa Tomei) and their moody teenage son to keep him company. As well as missing each other, each must deal with the sometimes awkward, sometimes amusing consequences of their temporary domestic situation.
