Husbands and Wives

Middle-aged New York fiction writer and English professor Gabe Roth and his wife, Judy, are shocked to learn that their best friends, Jack and Sally, are splitting up. This revelation forces them to confront the failings of their own marriage, which are reflected in Gabe's reciprocal attraction to his student Rain, who has a thing for older men. Jack meanwhile moves in with Sam, an astrology-obsessed aerobics instructor, while Sally and Judy take turns dating a handsome editor. With Woody Allen's trademark irony and humor, the film explores his favorite themes-contemporary relationships, commitment, change and resistance to change, disruption and regeneration, and the many facets and complexities of the human heart.
