Marriage is a well-travelled thoroughfare in cinema, and thus it takes a special talent to capture all the bumps and twists in a fresh, unique way. Stanley Donen, director of the 1967 film Two for the Road, expertly guides us on the marriage journey through flashbacks, time jumps, and creative editing, boldly juxtaposing the bloom of new love with the rotten stench lingering after infidelity, kids, and careers. By the end of this movie, you’ll be begging for a drink.
