Grief (1994)

흥미로운 사실

Grief is a 1993 American comedy film, written and directed by Richard Glatzer. The film stars Craig Chester as Mark, a story editor for a daytime court show called The Love Judge, who is still dealing with his grief over the death of his husband due to HIV/AIDS a year earlier when the show's producer Jo announces that she's departing the job; although he knows he might not get the promotion due to his sexuality, he applies for Jo's job and finds himself in competition against his driven but Prozac-addicted colleague Paula.

Production

The film was inspired in part by Glatzer's own experience working on Divorce Court, during which his own partner Donald died. At a retrospective screening at Outfest in 2015, just a few weeks before Glatzer's death, he stated that he had not wanted to make a sorrowful film about the horrors of AIDS, but wanted to juxtapose Mark's grief with the humour and absurdity of life going on.

It was the only film Glatzer made on his own before meeting Wash Westmoreland, who would become both his husband and his creative partner on all of his future films.
