There is, shall we say, a very particular sort of ironic chuckle that I allow myself whenever the topic of Bruce McDonald's
The Husband comes up. For as outlandish as the concept may seem to some ... well, let's just say it's not, shall we? Canada's reigning king of the indie mavericks returns here with a dark comedy exploring the
other side of one of those teacher-student sex scandals that pop up in the paper from time to time and with the film beginning its public release March 14th at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, we're proud to launch the first teaser - the first in an extensive series of teasers that should be popping up all over the place now - here at ScreenAnarchy.
Maxwell McCabe-Lokos, who co-wrote the movie, stars as a man steadily
unravelling as he cares for his infant son while his teacher wife (Sarah
Allen) serves a jail sentence for sleeping with a teenaged student.
THE HUSBAND stars Maxwell McCabe-Lokos (The Tracey Fragments, Lars and
the Real Girl, Mouth to Mouth), August Diehl (Salt, Inglorious Bastards,
The Counterfeiters, Mouth to Mouth), Sarah Allen (On The Road, Human
Trafficking), and Jodi Balfour (Bomb Girls, Final Destination 5).
