Interiors arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Interiors takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. When Eve, an interior designer, is deserted by her husband of many years, Arthur, the emotionally glacial relationships of the three grown-up daughters are laid bare. Twisted by jealousy, insecurity and resentment, Renata, a successful writer; Joey, a woman crippled by indecision; and Flyn, a budding actress; struggle to communicate for the sake of their shattered mother. But when their father unexpectedly falls for another woman, his decision to remarry sets in motion a terrible twist of fate… The performances from Geraldine Page and Kristin Griffith give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. Interiors came out in 1978. The performances in Interiors do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
