Monogamy

Directed by Dana Adam Shapiro1h 34m2004

Exhibitionism, voyeurism, jealousy, lust. Brooklyn wedding photographer Theo’s side business shooting surveillance-style photos of clients on the sly takes an unexpected turn - and creates a rift with his fiancée - when he’s hired by a provocative mystery woman.

Our read: Monogamy (2004) reads as a neutral, steady, grounded drama · latvian entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
