‘Five Nights In Maine’ Exclusive Clip: David Oyelowo & Rosie Perez Bond Over A Tragic Loss
Grief can take hold of even the strongest people and refuse to let go. It’s why they describe it as a “process.” Maris Curran’s “Five Nights In Maine” takes this idea to heart as it follows Sherwin (David Oyelowo), a recent widower who lost his wife Fiona (Hani Furstenberg) in a car accident. Stricken by grief and depression, he travels to a remote corner of Maine to see Fiona’s cancer-stricken mother Lucinda (Dianne Wiest) who’s being taken care of by caring nurse Ann (Rosie Perez). Tensions run high as both Sherwin and Lucinda deal with the tragedy, and struggle to come to terms with their feelings towards each other and Fiona. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below featuring Sherwin and Ann discussing the loss.
David Oyelowo is best known for his performance as Martin Luther King Jr. in Ava DuVernay’s “Selma,” about the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches and the tumultuous aftermath.
