The story of a failing relationship, especially a failing marriage, can be a universal one. It’s a story so universal, in fact, that New Zealand filmmaker Armağan Ballantyne takes a big creative jump with her film, Nude Tuesday by telling it in a completely made-up language. With a story from Ballantyne, screenplay by lead actor Jackie Van Beek, and subtitles by Julia Davis, Nude Tuesday is a silly romp through a couple’s attempts to rekindle their marriage. What unfurls is something sweet, awkward, and overall endearing.
Laura (Van Beek) and Bruno (Damon Herriman) are going through a major slump in their relationship. Between caring for their two daughters and balancing work, the spark in the pair’s marriage seems to have fizzled out. They’re so desperate that when Bruno’s mother gives them tickets to a relationship retreat guaranteed to respark their romance, they decide to give it a shot. Secluded in the woods, and led by a charismatic and sexually forward “guru” named Bjorn (Jemaine Clement), the retreat is full of bizarre activities and hijinks ensue.
