If you've never heard of Barbara Loden's Wanda (1970), Cinphomaniac is here this week to correct that. Marcus and Dana throughly dissect this once forgotten masterpiece of early American Independent Cinema - the one and only feature film its mesmerizing star, Barbara Loden, ever would direct in her all too brief life. They discuss Loden's incredibly nuanced and detailed performance as the title character, as well as its level of immense specificity in every other aspect, with its emphasis on naturalism, transgression, power, and class. Also discussed is the rich legacy of the type of complex female driven stories that Wanda would herald, from filmmakers like Andrea Arnold, Jane Campion, and Chloe Zhao, as well as the eye opening TV appearance Loden made to promote the film on The Dick Cavett Show.
