sex, lies, and videotape (1989)

In the bustling world of progress and prosperity, John and Ann Mullany seem to have it all. John, a promising junior partner at a renowned law firm, and Ann, the quintessential housewife, paint a picture of enviable perfection yet underneath, Ann battles unseen demons. Her outward radiance masks her inner turmoil, as she wrestles with the weight of global issues beyond her control, in the confines of her therapist's office. Unbeknownst to her, her sexual repression and indifference towards intimacy have started to cast a shadow over her marriage, giving birth to a stress that is slowly corroding her 'perfect' life. However, the seeds of discord were sown long before, when John succumbed to a clandestine affair with Ann's sister, Cynthia Bishop, a vivacious bartender whose flamboyance Ann finds unsettling. A blast from the past arrives in the form of Graham Dalton, John's old college friend who seems to have lost his compass in life. However, Graham's unique approach to dealing with his emotional and sexual issues, through brutal honesty and transparency, sends ripples through the lives of the Mullanys and Cynthia. As they navigate the twists and turns of their intertwined relationships, the profound impact they have on each other, particularly the effect on Ann and Graham, unravels in unexpected ways. Their lives are poised on the precipice of significant change, revealing that not everything is as it seems in this riveting tale of secrets, passions, and the power of truth.
