The legendary 92-year-old filmmaker Frederick Wiseman changes gears from his trademark lengthy documentaries (City Hall, In Jackson Heights, National Gallery) to the world of short narrative features with this 64-minute portrait of Sophia Tolstoy, inspired by her diaries and letters to her husband of 36 years, Leo Tolstoy. Shot in La Boulaye Garden on the island of Belle Île, the film is a monologue delivered by Nathalie Boutefeu as Sophie, recounting the joy, passion, acrimony, and dysfunction of her marriage. Whether A Couple's theatrical nature is a feature or a bug will depend on the viewer.
