United States | 1970 | Barbara Loden
The only film written and directed by Elia Kazan’s wife Barbara Loden is a work of American neorealism and one of the great one-offs in cinema history. (Loden died from cancer before she could make a second movie.) Shot in 16mm, this unadorned indie classic also stars Loden as the timid, bedraggled title character—a divorced, destitute housewife from a Pennsylvania mining town. Prone to looking for love in all the wrong places, Wanda eventually hooks up with a small-time bank robber. “If there is a female counterpart to John Cassavetes, Barbara Loden is it.” –The New Yorker. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 102 min.
