This week Jan talks with Tom Dolby about his new film "The Artists Wife" - starring Bruce Dern, Lena Olin and Stephanie Powers. Dolby say: "The Artist’s Wife was conceived out of several impulses: First among these was my desire to explore “the woman next to the man” in a marriage between two creatives. I also wanted to create a film reflecting some of the life-changing experiences I had seen my mother go through with my father having dementia.
Finally, the film’s story demonstrates much of what I personally believe about commitment, loss, reconnection, and the healing—albeit painful— powers of creativity and forgiveness. Over one bleak winter in the Hamptons, when my father had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
