We watched AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY video the other day. It is about an extended family of two aging
sisters, their husbands, and grown
children. It takes place in Osage
County, Oklahoma; prairie county. The
husband of one of the sisters first is missing and they find his body. Not many kind words are spoken in the movie,
there are no love lost, I don't think, between any of them except two that are secretly having an affair, and even then
it in incest. It was originally a play,
now a movie. As events unfold and
people tell what is really on their mind you can understand how it has the
makings for a play: A Tennessee Williams
gut-wrenching , let no stone be unturned kind of play. Depressing story but good acting, in my opinion.
The movie was directed by John Wells and written by Tracy
Letts.
Starring Meryl Street, Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper, Wean
McGregor, Margo Martindale, and Sam Shepard.
