The Secret Lives of Dentists
Dr. Dave Hurst (Campbell Scott) seems content with his wife Dana (Hope Davis), his three daughters, and a thriving dental practice shared with his beloved spouse. But when Dave glimpses Dana in the arms of another man, he begins entertaining dangerous fantasies, both sexual and violent. Spurred on by a menacing alter ego (Denis Leary), Dave is forced to confront his repressed anger and resentment or lose everything he holds dear. In the tradition of "American Beauty", acclaimed director Alan Rudolph ("Afterglow") has fashioned a profoundly moving portrait of the modern family, expertly blending drama, humour and suspense.
