Love Triangles

An American Marriage (2018)

by Tayari Jones

South: love triangle.

Shackles of home - power to

Draw two asunder.

Rapture, Blister, Burn (2012)

by Gina Gionfriddo

Academic love 

Triangle. Oxymoron: 

Married feminist?

***

The Lion in Winter

(1968, dir. Anthony Harvey)

Exiled Eleanor

Uses sons to fight Henry.

War begins at home.

***

Betrayal (1978)

by Harold Pinter

Love triangle in

Reverse, from fizzle to spark.

Sadder when rewound.

Monster Moms

Belated Mother's Day.
I slipped in Yerma in the list. Extrapolating that if she had a baby, she would still have issues.

***

Three Tall Women

(seen 2/2018, Golden Theatre, dir. Joe Mantello)

Albee mom in three

Ages. How does one get from

A to B to C?

***

Crisis

(1946, dir. Ingmar Bergman)

Nelly learns city

Souls corrupt. True mother less

So than adoptive.

***

Rachel, Rachel

(1968, dir. Paul Newman)

Rachel withers from

Mother. Sex awakens her,

Actualizes self.

***

Yerma

(seen 3/2018, Park Avenue Armory, by Federico Garcia Lorca / Simon Stone, dir. Simon Stone) 

Apres Lorca, "Her"

Blogs of childlessness - failure

Of female nature?
