One of the standout films at the 2010 Sundance, London and Cannes film festivals, BLUE VALENTINE is an intense, beautifully observed story of a love found and a love lost.
It is a real love story that not only illustrates moments of hope and joy, but the authentic moments of brutal sadness that feature in every relationship. Driven by standout performances from Oscar nominees Ryan Gosling (HALF NELSON) and Michelle Williams (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN), the film follows the path of a contemporary married couple with a young daughter as they contemplate the blissful early days of their relationship in contrast to their current challenges.
Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship when they were both full of hope for a life together, Dean and Cindy use one night to try to save their marriage.
