Mariée à un mineur et mère de deux enfants, Wanda vit coincée entre la grisaille de sa vie familiale et la tristesse des terrils pennsylvaniens. Tournant une page de sa vie, elle décide de partir et se lie à un petit gangster, Mr Dennis. Pour la première fois de sa vie, elle croise l'ambition. (Les Films du Camélia)
Critiques (1)
This film definitely stands out with its realistic camera work. It gradually gets under your skin because it's possible to identify with the protagonist and the horrifying world she lives in. However, it's also possible to see the film merely as a pose and an attempt to show how difficult the lower classes have it and what they resort to, or how they are dragged down by their apathy. But I lean more towards the first interpretation, which is so grandly named cinema verité.
