My Wonderful Wanda

Jun 15, 2021
“My Wonderful Wanda,” a delightful dramedy of the haves and have-nots set against the backdrop of a gorgeous lakeside villa in Switzerland. Wanda is a Polish caretaker who has left her own small children in Poland to look after Josef, the stroke-ridden patriarch of the wealthy Wegmeister-Gloor dynasty. Wanda is adept in navigating the tricky family dynamics between the two grown (yet still childish) offspring and the elegant, controlling matriarch Elsa. An unexpected turn of events spins everything upside down. [2020, Switzerland, 111 min, Rated: NR, German with English subtitles]. Anthony Ray Bench of “Film Threat” writes, “Director and co-writer Bettina Oberli crafts a wonderfully fascinating story about a dysfunctional family that brings tears and laughs.” Venue: Rehoboth Beach Film Society.
