Directed by Susanne Bier and based on the bestselling novel by Ron Rash, “Serena” is a sumptuous period romance that marks the third collaboration between Cooper and Lawrence after “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle.”
Cooper and Lawrence play George and Serena Pemberton, passionate, love-struck newlyweds who are building their timber empire in the North Carolina mountains at the end of the 1920’sSerena proves herself equal to any man, overseeing loggers, hunting rattle-snakes and even saving a man’s life in the wilderness. With power and influence on their side, the Pembertons refuse to let anyone stand in the way of their inflated love and ambitions. However, once Serena discovers George’s hidden past and faces an unchangeable fate of her own, their passionate marriage begins to unravel – thrusting the pair toward a dramatic reckoning.
