Aspen, CO (January 22, 2021): Aspen Film will present the award-winning drama THE ARTIST’S WIFE, available for streaming beginning Friday, January 29. Each stream is $10 and can be purchased at AspenFilm.org. After purchasing, viewers will have seven days to start watching and once started, 24 hours to finish watching. Following the film, there will be a pre-recorded Q&A featuring Director Tom Dolby, Actress Lena Olin and Aspen Film’s Executive + Artistic Director, Susan Wrubel.

In THE ARTIST’S WIFE, Claire (Lena Olin) lives a quiet domestic life in the Hamptons as the wife of celebrated artist Richard Smythson (Bruce Dern). Once a promising painter herself, Claire now lives in the shadow of her husband’s illustrious career. While preparing work for his final show, Richard’s moods become increasingly erratic, and he is diagnosed with dementia. As his memory and behavior deteriorate, she shields his condition from the art community while trying to reconnect him with his estranged daughter and grandson from a previous marriage. Challenged by the loss of her world as she knew it, Claire must now decide whether to stand with Richard on the sidelines or step into the spotlight herself.
