Wanda's Café (1985)

Review by LeonLouisRicci

Wanda's Café

8/10

ALAN RUDOLPH'S QUIRKY NEO-NOIR...SKEWED & OUT-OF-ORBIT

Completely Nutzoid and Bizarre Take on Film-Noir from Fringe Director and Robert Altman Protogei Alan Rudolph.

Brimming with Characters who have One-Foot in Reality and Another in Who-Knows-Where?

The Well-Rounded Cast All Fit Into Their Square Holes.

Kris Kristofferson, Keith Carradine, Lori Singer, Genevieve Bujold, Joe Morton, and Divine.

Their "Straight" Personas are Twisted Slightly to Accommodate the Strangeness that is "Trouble in Mind".

Even the Background Warbling of Marianne Faithful, while Moody and Raw, Seem to be Slightly Off-Speed.

It's a Crime-Drama-Romance-Fantasy that can Captivate and Leave the Viewer in Awe, Responding to What's On-Screen.

A Place that Exists, one could say, in "The Twilight Zone".

Different, Beautiful, Decadent, Displays of Young-Love, Low-IQ Folks Lost in the City.

With Guide-Posts in the Form of an Ex-Con-Ex-Cop and a Diner Owner that has "Been Everywhere".

A Crime Syndicate from La-La Land Coming Down on Everyone Like its the "End Times" and Satan is Making His Move.

One of the Oddest and Best Neo-Noirs Your Likely to Come Across.

This has Got it All.

To See if it's Too Strange for You...

Worth a Watch.
