In Nicolas Bedos’ directorial debut, he stars opposite co-writer Doria Tillier as a French couple intertwined, consumed with, and defined by each other in life and work: he, an accomplished writer; she, his editor and occasional muse.

The chemistry between Bedos and Tillier is irresistible, as they quip back and forth through four decades of music, haircuts, and a romance that’s more shattered glass and Camus than chocolate and flowers. Biting and tender, Mr. and Mrs. Adelman packs the intricacies of marriage into a romantic comedy—with a twist.
