{"id":31298,"count":1,"description":"Wanda is an independent 1970 drama film that was written and directed by Barbara Loden, who also stars in the title role. It is set in the anthracite coal region of eastern Pennsylvania.\nWanda, after a string of abusive relationships, abandons her family and seeks solace in the company of a petty criminal (Michael Higgins).\nStylistically the film is improvisational and meditative in nature, similar to the works of European directors like Robert Bresson. It is seldom seen, but strongly admired. Loden, the wife of director Elia Kazan, died from cancer before she had an opportunity to make another film. But the legacy of Wanda, one of the very few American feature films directed by women at that time, endures.
