Husbands
A Comedy About Life and Death and Freedom
[New York, N.Y.] : The Criterion Collection, [2020]
Format: DVD
Edition: Second-DVD edition.
Description: 2 videodiscs (142 min.) : DVD video, sound, color ; 4 3/4 in. + 1 insert.
A trio of middle-aged Long Island family men who, following the sudden death of their best friend, channel their grief into an epic, multiday bender that takes them from Manhattan to London in a desperate, debauched quest to feel alive. By turns painfully funny and woundingly perceptive, this self-described ₁comedy about life, death, and freedom₂ stands as perhaps the most fearless, harrowingly honest deconstruction of American manhood ever committed to film.
