Summary

And we’ve made our way to “movies that exist only as a title” royalty, We Don’t Live Here Anymore. In 2004, this marital drama arrived at Sundance boasting several indie aughts heatseekers: a post-You Can Count On Me Mark Ruffalo, a post-Oscar nom Naomi Watts, Six Feet Under‘s Peter Krause, and the always buzzy Laura Dern, all wrapped up in an adaptation of Andre Dubus. This grim look at two literary-adjacent married couples facing the abyss of infidelity earned especially strong notices for Dern, but never caught fire in a year where Sideways dominated the independent scene.

This episode, we look back at the first year of Warner Independent and Laura Dern joins our Six Timers Club. We also discuss Dern’s place in the 2004 Supporting Actress race, the work of cinematographer Maryse Alberti, and the 2004 Sundance lineup.

Topics also include director John Curran, the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and photoshop marketing.
