Radiant City (1996)

Life in the projects circa 1958: Driven to the brink by her overworked and insensitive husband and horrendously selfish children, Brooklyn-based housewife Gloria Goodman (Kirstie Alley) seeks a meaning to life. Suddenly, she meets Bert Kramer (Gil Bellows), a hipper-than-thou young writer, who shows her a new view on life - and also the possibility of a passionate romance - Will she be seduced or will she find her own path in life? Or maybe both?
