Forty Shades of Blue

(2005)Directed by Ira Sachs108 min · RDrama, Romance

Laura (Dina Korzun) has left Russia to live in Memphis with Alan James (Rip Torn), a rock-n-roll legend decades her senior, and nobody in his crowd says what she is to him. Then his estranged son, Michael (Darren E. Burrows), arrives for a visit, and the quiet she has kept begins to wear thin. Ira Sachs films the parties and the long silences between them with the same patient, unhurried attention.
