Ed Burns reflects on Gen-X stories, from ‘The Brothers McMullen’ to ‘Millers in Marriage’
After 30 years and a lot of growing up, he’s drawing a fresh pour from that well for his 14th film, “Millers in Marriage,” the story of three siblings navigating life and love — no longer as angst-filled, still unproven twentysomethings, but grown-ups now hovering on the precipice of middle age. Burns insists that he seldom pulls too heavily from his own experiences for inspiration, but as much as it excited him to examine the larger, existential challenges of capital-A adulthood, he admits that some of the quandaries his characters faced hit closer to home than others.
