The War of the Roses (1989)

In the high-stakes world of love, marriage, and divorce, a battle unfolds unlike any other in the heart of an opulent home that two people refuse to leave. The tale begins with Gavin D'Amato, a composed and astute lawyer, counseling a nervous client on the precipice of divorce. To guide his client, he narrates an unforgettable story about his former client, Oliver Rose. Oliver, once a competitive law student, fell passionately in love with Barbara, an electrifying gymnast who lived for the thrill of spontaneity. United by their mutual infatuation for luxurious possessions, they embarked on an extraordinary marital journey. However, after 18 years of marriage, their once harmonious differences ignited a fire of resentment, culminating in a toxic divorce. Barbara and Oliver Rose, who once reveled in marital bliss, find themselves in a fierce war of attrition. Barbara begins to envision a life without Oliver, a life that she finds enticing. Both adamant to remain in the house that has become their battleground, they initiate a relentless campaign to drive each other out, pushing the boundaries of their audacity. Caught in the crossfire of this bitter war is D'Amato, their divorce lawyer. He bears witness to the extreme lengths the Roses are willing to go to evict each other, a spectacle far beyond anyone's wildest expectations.
