The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)
I went to see this with Ann at the Northpark Theater with just a couple other people in the audience. Based on a novel by Rebecca Miller (Arthur Miller's daughter)...Robin Wright Penn and Alan Arkin are cast as a wealthy married couple facing a new chapter of their lives after selling their home and moving into a staid retirement community. She is about forty-five, mother of two young adult children. He is thirty years older than his lovely wife and beginning to slow down in life after a successful career in the publishing business. We learn about Pippa's difficult past through flashbacks. A wonderful mix of characters are played by Maria Bello, Julianne Moore, Winona Rider. Keanu Reeves is the troubled divorced son of the nice lady next door who shows up in his battered truck, complete with Jesus tattoo across his chest. This film has the flavor of a Woody Allen film with Alan Arkin providing comic relief.
