Filmhuis Classic: Wanda

The Filmhuis Classic this edition is Wanda from 1970.

About the film:
Wanda was once a rarely screened cult film, now a classic of feminist cinema. This film by the early deceased actor and filmmaker Barbara Loden poignantly highlights the fate of a divorced mother adrift. She is brilliantly portrayed by Loden, who also wrote the screenplay and directed. Wanda would remain Loden's first and last feature film.

The film won, among other awards, the Best Foreign Film Award at the Venice Film Festival and made an impression as a portrait of a woman with little choice in her life, who considers herself voiceless and continually falls into the hands of the wrong men, including a bank robber.
