Secret Lives of Dentists, The – DVD

In the tradition of American Beauty, acclaimed director Alan Rudolph (Afterglow) has fashioned a profoundly moving portrait of the modern family, expertly blending drama, humor and suspense in what Rolling Stone magazine calls a "remarkable film." Dr. Dave Hurst (Campbell Scott, Roger Dodger) seems content with his wife Dana (Hope Davis, About Schmidt), his three daughters and a thriving dental practice shared with his beloved spouse. But when Dave glimpses Dana in the arms of another man, he begins entertaining dangerous fantasies, both sexual and violent. Spurred on by a menacing alter ego (Denis Leary, The Thomas Crown Affair), Dave is forced to confront his repressed anger and resentment or lose everything he holds dear. Newly remastered.
