Roving Woman
In a time of emotional turmoil, a young woman sets off in a stolen car on a journey that makes her reevaluate her life priorities. This is subtle, bittersweet road movie with a great leading role by Lena Góra that is co-produced by Wim Wenders.
On the surface, we've seen films like Roving Woman before. However, Roving Woman is a tad different. It's a little more introspective, a lot more meandering, and almost Nomadland-like in its dedication to its key character's journey. That key character, Sara (Lena Gora), has been kicked out of her home amidst a break-up from a relationship that seems to have defined her existence. She's directionless, at times downright weird, as she begins our film standing upon the doorstep of her ex in a ballgown. A stolen car later, Sara begins wandering aimlessly searching for something she can't really identify and if we're being honest it's not completely sure if she ever finds it. I doubt Sara knows.
