It only takes one night to change a life:
A man and a woman meet at a wedding reception. They begin some sharp comic banter with the effervescence of a good champagne. She jokes that she was the seventh choice for bridesmaid, called only after one of the earlier chosen ones was unable to come. The woman has flown in from London for the wedding and will leave the next day. As the couple (their names are never given) flirts, their previous connection is eventually revealed.
"Conversations With Other Women" is a narrative on undying, irresponsible love – undying in that time only erases the bad memories and irresponsible in that sometimes the good ones should be forgotten, too. Shot entirely in split screen, the rekindled love affair between exes expertly embodied by Helena Bonham Carter and Aaron Eckhart unfolds with each layer of Bonham's bridesmaid dress: secretively, guiltily, and exuberantly.
After we got engaged more than 2 weeks ago, my fiancee and I have had many converstations about the wedding. So much so, that we decided to get a break and go out for a movie to just relax and talk about other things. But through "Conversations With Other Women", we still ended up with "Conversations About A Wedding".
It only takes one night to change a life but it takes more than a night to change the topic of a conversation.. :)
