After the death of their close friend, three middle-aged New Yorkers spend a lost weekend in London, drinking, gambling, womanizing, and struggling to make sense of their places in the world. John Cassavetes had a preternatural talent for scratching at the scabs of our lives—evoking and expressing the complex, contradictory, and occasionally shameful emotions of adult relationships. Working with long-time friends and collaborators Peter Falk and Ben Gazzarra, Cassavetes creates with Husbands a lopsided portrait of marriage, colored, as the title suggests, by common (but not stereotypical) struggles of masculinity.
