An overlooked landmark of 70's American cinema, Barbara Loden's WANDA is a radical revisioning of the road movie genre. Writer-director Loden (wife of famed director Elia Kazan) stars as Wanda, a troubled young woman adrift in a modern-day industrial wasteland until she embarks on a crime spree with a small-time crook (Michael Higgins). Bracingly honest and beautifully shot, Loden's unique film deserves to be counted among the most formidable debuts in independent American cinema. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

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.
