Details

In the movie Love Is Strange directed by Ira Sachs, Ben and George, a long-term gay couple, finally tie the knot. However, their joy is short-lived when George loses his job as a music teacher at a Catholic school due to the school's policy against same-sex marriage.

With limited financial resources, the couple is forced to sell their apartment in Manhattan and find cheaper housing, which proves to be a challenging task. They are compelled to temporarily stay with friends and family while navigating their new circumstances. This separation puts a strain on their relationship and has a profound impact on their loved ones.

Throughout the film, Love Is Strange offers a tender exploration of the challenges faced by mature LGBTQ+ couples. It delves into themes of love, commitment, and the sacrifices one must make for their partner. The movie showcases the emotional toll that societal discrimination and economic hardships can take on individuals and relationships.

With its sensitive and authentic portrayal of same-sex relationships, Love Is Strange sheds light on the complexities of love and the resilience required to overcome adversity. It captures the beauty and emotional depth of the human experience, making it a compelling and thought-provoking watch for viewers.
