The second directorial effort from filmmaker John Curran (Praise), We Don’t Live Here Anymore is based on writings by the late Andre Dubus. Featuring an ensemble cast comprised of Naomi Watts (21 Grams, The Ring), Mark Ruffalo (Suddenly 30), Laura Dern (Jurassic Park, I Am Sam) and Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) the film explores the crumbling of friendships between two married couples in the aftermath of an affair. We Don’t Live Here Anymore premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival where it was awarded the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award.

Jack Linden and Hank Evans have an easygoing friendship. Both are college instructors in a small university town and their wives are also friends. However, the Evanses and the Lindens are not the happy couples they appear to be. For Jack and Terry, the everyday tribulations of being parents of young children trying to make ends meet have taken their toll on the once passionate couple. Hank, a self-absorbed writer at heart, is fond of his family life but apparently not all that interested in monogamy. Trying to find a way to make her marriage work under the new circumstances, Edith turns to Jack for comfort. What begins as a playfully lascivious affair erupts into a season of infidelity, leaving all four to sift through the emotional wreckage to find their way home.
