Here is a promo trailer for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee which will be shown at the Berlinale festival 2009.

Pippa Lee is serene, beautiful, a devoted wife and mother with a seemingly perfect life until her surprisingly volatile past crashes through her persona, forcing her to find her true sense of self. By turns wry, humorous, and moving, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is about the many lives hidden behind a single name.

The trailer for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. From all outward appearances, Pippa Lee (ROBIN WRIGHT PENN) leads a charmed existence. An anchor of feminine serenity, she is the devoted wife of an accomplished publisher (ALAN ARKIN) thirty years her senior, the proud mother of two grown children, and a trusted friend and confidant to all who cross her path. But as Pippa dutifully follows her husband to a new life in a staid Connecticut retirement community, her idyllic world and the persona she has built over the course of her marriage will be put to the ultimate test.

A second trailer for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. As a teenager nearly driven mad by her complacent pastor father Des and bipolar mother Suky, whose neurotic behavior is precipiated by an addiction to amphetamines, Pippa Sarkissian runs away from her rural home and seeks refuge with her father's sister Trish in New York City. She is startled to discover her aunt is a lesbian and living with Kit, a dominatrix who specializes in photographing sadomasochistic scenes. Falling under Kit's influence, Pippa rapidly descends into an underworld of llegal drugs and promiscuous sex. She is rescued from her decadent lifestyle by Herb Lee, a charasmatic publisher 30 years her senior. They wed, have two children, and live a very comfortable life until Herb's multiple heart attacks force them to sell their Manhattan apartment and settle in a retirement community in suburban Connecticut, where Pippa develops a sleep disorder. By far the youngest of all the residents, she finds herself becoming bored and restless and beginning to unravel until she meets her neighbor's emotionally damaged son Chris, who becomes an unlikely confidante and unexpected lover. Pippa's unswerving devotion to her husband is tested when she discovers he is having a fling of his own with Sandra Dulles, an attractive woman even younger than his trophy wife who has a long list of neuroses of her own.
