Here's the scoop: “Jonathan Pryce, Glenn Close, and Christian Slater star in Björn Runge's adaptation of Meg Wolitzer's bestselling novel about a woman (Close) who decides to leave her author husband (Pryce) on the eve of his Nobel Prize presentation in order to finally pursue her own writing aspirations. A incisive study of celebrity, marriage, and the creative process — as well as a showcase for the talents of acclaimed actors Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce — The Wife explodes the old notion that behind every great man stands a great woman.”
