Based on two works by Andre Dubus, "We don't Live here Anymore" is a sexy provocative drama about married life and its discontents. Kenly observed, the film charts the amorous affair of a married man with his best friends wife and how their liaison upsets the delicate balance of relationships, culminating in a fling between their spouses. Unfolding from four different viewpoints, the story captures the paradoxical actions of loving parents determined to save marriages they secretly long to escape, as the couples struggle through their emotional and sexual entanglement. With wry, knowing humour, "We Don't Live here Anymore" reveals the perverse logic of infidelity - and the complexity, denial and occasional cruelly that can accompany it.
