Wiki.
Forty Shades of Blue is a 2005 independent drama film directed by Ira Sachs. Starring Rip Torn, Dina Korzun, and Darren R. Burrows, the film follows a young Russian woman living in Memphis with an aging music producer who comes to question her life when his adult son comes to visit.
Sachs, who co-wrote the script with musician Michael Rohatyn, was inspired by the works of Ken Loach, including Kes, Family Life, and Looks and Smiles, as well as Satyajit Ray’s Charulata. A native of Memphis, Sachs based the character of Alan on his father. The film was workshopped at the Sundance Institute's Writers and Filmmakers Lab and premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize. It received a limited theatrical release on September 28, 2005.
