A Married Couple
... the Joneses they're not
Directed by Allan King
Produced by Allan King Associates
An unflinching, intimate documentary portrait of a marriage in crisis, capturing the raw texture of domestic conflict and tenderness without judgment or resolution.
In this classic exploration of marriage in conflict, Billy and Antoinette Edwards—as well as their son Bogart and dog Merton—live out their daily lives. Hoping to discover the heart of the trouble in their marriage, Billy and Antoinette offer up their day to day lives to documentary filmmaker Allan King, as laughter, tears, wit, tenderness, anger, patience, pain, and sorrow ensue.
