Extol Then Excerpt: 'Two Lovers'
Don't just take my word that 'Two Lovers' is a terffic film.. Watch some excerpts.. It's a lovely small film, and its very big lead actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow, vanish into their masterfully woven characters..
Phoenix plays a thirty-ish recovering bi-polar photographer living with his Israeli immigrant parents in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn's 'Russian Riviera...' Paltrow is struggling with her own messed-up life when she moves in across the courtyard. The third line in this triangle, played by Vinessa Shaw, is a wry young professional woman whose parents want to buy Phoenix's family business.. and perhaps find a match for their daughter...
Here's the trailer again, this time the UK version...
And here's Vinessa Shaw interviewed, discussing her experience and character, with much footage from the film... I didn't realize she was in '3:10 to Yuma,' one of last year's better movies...
