Forty Shades of Blue
2005
Synopsis
Laura, a young woman from Russia, lives in Memphis with her boyfriend, aging music legend Alan James. When Alan’s estranged grown-up son, Michael, shows up in Memphis for the first time in years, his initial hostility to Laura soon turns into something much more, and they embark on an affair.
Editorial
Surfaces appear diamond-hard in this modern melodrama, but expensive looks can be deceiving. Gliding through white middle-class America with serene sadness, actor Dina Korzun is astonishing as a detached interloper in Ira Sachs’s masterful film of betrayal, heartache, and hushed ecstasy.
