About Desperate Husbands
Take a trip down Poinsettia Lane where the husbands will play while the wives are away. Coco LaChine's latest satire brings us the story of Poinsettia Lane, a suburban oasis that is shocked when one of its residents, Marc Youngman, commits suicide and all of the men in the neighborhood wonder what secrets might come out when his death is investigated.
Directed by CoCo LaChine, Desperate Husbands leans on a strong ensemble — Kyle Lewis, Joshua Adams, Kent Larson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2005.
