The War of the Roses
Once in a lifetime comes a motion picture that makes you feel like falling in love all over again. This is not that movie.
A darkly comedic portrait of a marriage curdling from romance into mutual warfare, told through the eyes of a divorce lawyer caught between two people determined to destroy each other.
Barbara and Oliver Rose live happily as a married couple. When Barbara starts to wonder what life would be like without Oliver and likes what she sees, the two begin a campaign to force each other to leave their house, with their divorce lawyer D'Amato caught in the middle.
