Ladies in Risky Situations: Ira Sachs' Married Life and David Gordon Green's Snow Angels

 

"It was fun to be platinum. I think we forget, because so many photographs are in black and white, that women were very risque and, at the time, it was very usual to be that blonde."
--Rachel McAdams on her look in Married Life

*****

Sometimes I write about films way in advance. In the case of Ira Sachs's Married Life, I posted something in January, because that's when the Seattle press screening took place. Also, I wanted to compare and contrast Sachs's period piece with Bela Tarr's Prefab People, which was playing around the same time. Click here for the full review.

Coming soon: An interview with writer/director David Gordon Green, whose Snow Angels opens today at the Harvard Exit, and Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno's documentary Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait, which opens at the Northwest Film Forum on April 4.
