Even though it is about a couple getting a divorce, director Noah Baumbach says his new film, Marriage Story, is his attempt at finding "a new way to tell a love story".

Premiering on Netflix tomorrow, the comedy-drama is a bittersweet look at the disintegration of a marriage that stars Scarlett Johansson (The Avengers, 2012) and Adam Driver (Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, 2017).
