Wendy and Lucy follow Wendy Carroll as she sets out for Alaska with her dog, Lucy, hoping to find work at a cannery and start anew. However, her journey is disrupted when her car breaks down in Oregon. Wendy is forced to confront difficult economic decisions as her financial situation worsens. Navigating the fringes of American life, she and Lucy question the nature of compassion and generosity, exploring the limits of human responsibility in hard times.
Directed by Kelly Reichardt, a leading voice in American independent cinema, Wendy and Lucy is a striking example of the director's signature minimalist road narratives, often centred on rural America's quiet landscapes and ordinary people's lives. Premiering at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, the film received widespread acclaim, particularly for Michelle Williams' natural and profoundly moving performance.
The New Year is more than just a date change on the calendar. It often marks a turning point where the weight of past experiences is felt or the uncertainty of the future is faced. This season, Pera Film highlights films that delve into themes of hope, regret, nostalgia, and new beginnings.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
