As a cinephile who has navigated through a fair share of life’s twists and turns, I find myself drawn to movies that resonate deeply with one’s emotional journey. And Mrs., an upcoming feature film directed by Daniel Reisinger, seems to be just that – a poignant exploration of love, grief, and the complexities of human emotion.
In theaters and on demand, an unusual love story titled “And Mrs.” is making its way to screens. Directed by Daniel Reisinger and written by Melissa Bubnic, this captivating film follows the life of an Irish woman living in London whose American fiancé tragically passes away just before their wedding day. Keep reading for additional details.
“Your husband is going to die.”
At the start, the trailer introduces us to an adorable and peculiar pair who decide to embark on a lifelong journey together. In this scene, Gemma (played by Aisling Bea) agrees to marry Nathan (Colin Hanks), and we share their laughter and warmth until a poignant moment when Gemma playfully taps Nathan, only to realize that rigor mortis has already set in.
As the plot unfolds, Gemma grapples with sorrow and rage, ultimately choosing to follow Nathan’s sister’s suggestion and proceed with the wedding. However, she encounters challenges in overcoming societal judgment, legal barriers, and even resistance from her own family before she can make this decision a reality.
The trailer features an excellent blend of a stubborn heart and a questioning mind as Gemma realizes that her only recourse is to appeal to the famously inflexible Lord Chief Justice Amanda Vaughn (Dame Harriet Walter). We also see those rallying to her cause or opposing her, while some oblivious characters make things worse. Nathan’s sister Audrey (Billie Lourd) recognizes the effort by Gemma as “how she needs to say goodbye,” but a bridal shop attendant encourages a purchase with a cheeky “Your husband is going to die.” The trailer is enough to pique interest in how it all plays out in the end.
In memoriam
In this film directed by debutant Daniel Reisinger, a topic is explored on multiple layers. Reisinger notes that several cast and crew members shared a tragic connection – they had all lost someone significant in their lives. For instance, Aisling Bea lost her father at the age of three, Colin Hanks lost a parent during his adult years, and Billie Lourd mourned the loss of her mother Carrie Fisher and grandmother Debbie Reynolds within 48 hours, many years ago. Reisinger expresses that after the pandemic, stories like AND MRS, which allow us to laugh amidst grief, are more important than ever.
It’s not all a laugh, of course. Reisinger considers the messages the film conveys to be emblematic of “a nuanced relationship”:
Thematically the story is a rebellion against the famous British ‘stiff upper lip’. Its rallying cry is that there is no ‘proper’ way to grieve, and that love can conquer all – even death.
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’d like to share an intriguing perspective about a film set in the heart of London. While discussing this masterpiece, the visionary director mentioned something truly captivating – in France, they view the right to marry someone posthumously as a profound and enchanting aspect of life.
This ensemble boasts a rich tapestry of talent and backstory. Aisling, versatile as an actor and scribe, is recognized not just for her dramatic roles, but also her comedy work. Billie, who portrayed a spirited character in ‘Booksmart’, is set to shine in Gia Coppola’s ‘The Last Showgirl’. Affable Colin Hanks, known for his adventures in films like ‘King Kong’ and ‘Jumanji’, steps into the post-war era with ‘Nuremberg’. Susan Wokoma has graced both the ‘Enola Holmes’ series and led the cast of ‘Cheaters’ on BBC One. Dame Harriet Walter, a familiar face from ‘Succession’, takes on the pivotal role of Lord Chief Justice, serving as our primary antagonist.
Additionally, Mrs. [Name] is known for producing intelligent films that resonate globally, as demonstrated by her work on “Who’s on First.” We eagerly anticipate the movie’s theater debut on September 20, followed by its online streaming a week later.
