'Take This Waltz' Trailer: Seth Rogen, Michelle Williams In Relationship Drama (VIDEO)


First Posted: 08/08/11 05:21 PM ET Updated: 10/08/11 06:12 AM ET

Remember, just last winter, when Michelle Williams starred in a serious indie drama about a married couple whose relationship began crumbling? Well, she's at it again.

Williams, who netted an Oscar nomination for "Blue Valentine" with Ryan Gosling, now stars in "Take This Waltz," with her on-screen spouse this time portrayed by a slimmed down Seth Rogen. The story of a married couple whose relationship is tested by an attractive new neighbor, the film co-stars Luke Kirby as the potential love interest, and, surprisingly, Sarah Silverman as Rogen's sister.

Set in Toronto, we first find the couple happily in love and ready to celebrate their anniversary. A rickshaw ride and stolen glances later, things get a little spicier.

For Rogen, it's another turn toward the dramatic; at the end of September, he'll feature in "50/50," a dramedy with Joseph Gordon-Levitt about a young man diagnosed with cancer and the way he and his friend deal with the life-altering news. Williams, meanwhile, will soon premiere "My Week With Marilyn," in which she plays Marilyn Monroe.

The film will premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival; check out three new clips (via /Film) below the synopsis:

When Margot, 28, meets Daniel, their chemistry is intense and immediate. But Margot suppresses her sudden attraction: she is happily married to Lou, a celebrated cookbook writer. When Margot learns that Daniel lives across the street from them, the certainty about her domestic life shatters. She and Daniel steal moments throughout the steaming Toronto summer, their eroticism heightened by their restraint. Margot finally gives in to desire and in doing so, discovers some unsettling truths about herself. Swelteringly hot, bright and colorful like a bowl of fruit, "Take This Waltz" leads us, laughing, through the familiar but uncharted question of what long-term relationships do to love, sex, and our images of ourselves.

Interesting how this story does not contain the words "Sarah Polley".

One: I don't know how she can stand these emotionally gruelling features and still have a relationship of her own. I'd quit that b*tch if it was me.
Two: The directing looks insanely amatorish. Feet walking shots, really? With digital camera? It all looks like a scene from an indie band videoclip.
Three: A proper cut trailer, with proper rhythm would have been better. Shots from very specific scenes that were taken out of its original context and just thrown on youtube makes the movie seem a bit boring when it could be really really great. we don't know the characters, there was no lead in to this particular scene and the scene is not even exciting (what do i care Sarah Silverman looks better, what difference does it make to the narrative? all i know its supposed to be about the couple and their relationship...)

She can do it because she's an actress.

This is the same movie as blue valentine with different actors. That movie (Blue Valentine) was dribble...I actually wanted my money back after having paid to see it. This one looks just as awful.

I don't think it is surprising to see Sarah silverman in this movie. I have always thought she had the chops to carry a serious role.

I know, right. Where are the giant fighting robots and hilarious stereotypical supporting characters?
