Dana Adam Shapiro, who co-directed MURDERBALL, makes his dramatic feature debut with MONOGAMY. The film stars Chris Messina and Rashida Jones, and focuses on an engaged couple potentially torn apart by the man’s obsession with photographing another woman. The trailer looks interesting, and it should be cool to see Rashida Jones in a more dramatic leading role (she was great in THE SOCIAL NETWORK). Check out the poster above and the trailer below, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Synopsis: Thirtysomethings Theo (Chris Messina) and Nat (Rashida Jones) are engaged to be married. They live what seems to be on all counts a comfortable life of love, music, and laughter in their cozy Brooklyn apartment. But Theo is bored with his job as a wedding photographer—the generic backgrounds, the artificial posing, the stilted newlyweds—so he develops the unconventional side business “Gumshoot,” a service where clients hire him to secretly stalk them with his camera. When he is called out on a job to snap pics of an exhibitionist mystery woman (Meital Dohan), a simple gig develops into a voyeuristic obsession that forces Theo to confront uncomfortable truths about himself and his impending marriage.
