In Reattachment Theory Lee Wallace argues that homosexuality-far
from being the threat to "traditional" marriage that same-sex
marriage opponents have asserted-is so integral to its reimagining
that all marriage is gay marriage. Drawing on the history of
marriage, Stanley Cavell's analysis of Hollywood comedies of
remarriage, and readings of recent gay and lesbian films, Wallace
shows that queer experiments in domesticity have reshaped the
affective and erotic horizons of heterosexual marriage and its
defining principles: fidelity, exclusivity, and endurance. Wallace
analyzes a series of films-Dorothy Arzner's Craig's Wife (1936);
Tom Ford's A Single Man (2009); Lisa Cholodenko's High Art (1998),
Laurel Canyon (2002), and The Kids Are All Right (2010); and Andrew
Haigh's Weekend (2011) and 45 Years (2015)-that, she contends, do
not simply reflect social and legal changes; they fundamentally
alter our sense of what sexual attachment involves as both a social
and a romantic form.
