Recently opening and now expanding in the weeks to come, Ira Sachs‘ Love is Strange is one of our recommended independent dramas to seek out this time of year. We said in our review, “Honest in its portrait of men in a loving, yet not always monogamous relationship, Sachs has in large part carefully crafted a drama that’s intimate without overstaying its welcome.”

We’ve now teamed with Sony Pictures Classics to give away one (1) poster to our readers. The official poster is signed by Ira Sachs, John Lithgow, Alfred Molina and Marisa Tomei. See how to enter below and all entries must be received by 11:59 PM EST on Thursday, September 11th.

After nearly four decades together, Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) finally tie the knot in an idyllic wedding ceremony in lower Manhattan. But when George loses his job soon after, the couple must sell their apartment and – victims of the relentless New York City real estate market – temporarily live apart until they can find an affordable new home. While George moves in with two cops (Cheyenne Jackson and Manny Perez) who live down stairs, Ben lands in Brooklyn with his nephew (Darren Burrows), his wife (Marisa Tomei), and their temperamental teenage son (Charlie Tahan), with whom Ben shares a bedroom. While struggling with the pain of separation, Ben and George are further challenged by the intergenerational tensions and capricious family dynamics of their new living arrangements.

Directed by Ira Sachs (KEEP THE LIGHTS ON, FORTY SHADES OF BLUE), LOVE IS STRANGE blends the romance of New York City’s streets and skyline with a delicate Chopin piano score to poignantly capture both the lightness and sorrows of this modern day love story.

Love is Strange is now in limited release and expanding in the coming weeks.
