The War of the Roses (1989)



Released December 8th in the US.
Filmed in California and Washington.
The story: When Barbara and Oliver met, they fell in love very quickly.
Soon they were married and raising two children together.
As the years went on, Oliver began making lots of money while Barbara stayed at home, taking care of the kids and being the dutiful housewife.
When Barbara began trying to branch out of her everyday housewife role, Oliver didn't take any of it seriously, always making her feel belittled.
Gradually Barbara begins to despise Oliver more and more, to the point of her asking for a divorce.
But neither of them will give up the house.
So instead of divorcing and settling things between them, Barbara and Oliver decide to stay in the house together while driving each other crazy.
