Wanda Goronski ne supporte plus le milieu misérable où elle vit. Renvoyée de l'usine où elle était employée, elle décide de quitter son mari mineur et leurs deux enfants, sans se retourner. Commence une errance à travers la ville où Wanda finit par s'accrocher à Norman Dennis, un minable commis-voyageur qui arrondit ses fins de mois en volant.
« To say that Wanda .deglamorizes the American crime film is both entirely accurate and something of an understatement. Loden’s first and only film as a director is a searingly honest character study whose jagged, unvarnished aesthetic — inspired in part by Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless and the films of Andy Warhol — stood in stark contrast to the slick Hollywood dramatic tradition epitomized by, among others, Loden’s husband, the director Elia Kazan. » (Los Angeles Times)
« To watch Wanda today is to be knocked over anew by the film's unsettled emotional terrain, which slips and shifts beneath your feet from scene to scene. » (WBUR’s Art and Culture).
