Now a critically acclaimed film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan, co-written by Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan, and directed by Paul Dano The setting is Great Falls, Montana, where the Rockies end and where, in 1960, the promise of good times seems as limitless as the sweep of the prairies beyond.

Instead, sixteen-year-old Joe Brinson watches his parents discover the limits of their marriage and, at the same time, the unexpected depths of dignity and courage that remain even when love dies.

Caracteristici

Director Paul Dano on Wildlife: 'I first read the book in 2011 and the first sentence remains one of my favourites ever as a reader: "In the fall of 1960, when I was 16 and when my father was for a time not working, my mother met a man named Warren Miller and fell in love with him"'

Recenzii

Praise for Wildlife (2018): Superb ... Has an emotional richness and subtlety you simply don't find in most movies
A satisfying drama of damaged lives
Measured, diligent, exacting ... with a melancholy beauty
Captivating ... Adapted from Richard Ford's novel by Dano and his partner and fellow actor, Zoe Kazan, Wildlife is both bleak and hopeful, revealing how families hurt each other, and how they survive
Rich and unexpected ... Adapted by Dano and his partner, Zoe Kazan, from a Richard Ford novel, Wildlife is ostensibly about the break-up of a marriage, but really it's about the end of childhood
Superb ... A domestic drama both sad and terrifying ... Remarkable
Wildlife soars in stillness ... A marriage crumbles, largely in a silent stillness. We watch in the same way. That's exactly how it should be ... A quiet stunner
Lovely and studied ... There's muted, dreamy poeticism at work, with an aching polish, a sombre beauty thatrichly underscores all the angst
A rivetingly good, human journey, full of sparks, flame, smoke, containment, ash, and the terrible beauty that sometimes mystifyingly colors stories of desolation
Confident and compassionate
Beautifully nuanced ... a portrait of a woman who can't quite catch up with the frustration and feminist stirrings she feels inside ... Timelessly urgent and thrillingly alive
Resonant and absorbing ... It goes back to Richard Ford's writing, which is suggestive and metaphorical in an amorphous way. (It's like Raymond Carver with a deliberately blurred lens)
The book reminded me, first of all, of my parents, my grandparents. There was something of them in there. There was also something both personal and archetypal in there. I was really intoxicated by that idea. The mystery of who our parents are. As kids crossing over the threshold to adulthood and having a certain amount of access to different parts of the adult world, our parents can seem different. I think these people have been good parents until now. But they have not been living in the present; they've instead been living an idea of what their life was supposed to me. There's an element of 'the American dream' in there that I love. And what happens when you realise that you're not going to get there
Praise for Richard Ford's Wildlife:Hemingway updated and outwritten by a bleak but kindly master of simple words that speak volumes
Every sentence Ford writes, illuminates. He makes you understand what life is like for people whose daily expectation is that their smallest hopes will be snatched away from them. His prose is strong, clear and satisfying
Among the very best American fiction is that of Richard Ford, who with only three novels and a volume of short stories, has established himself as a writer whose voice illuminates the lives of people who live at the very edge of society ... A special delight in all Ford's writing is the muscular poetry of his prose
Wildlife is a fine novel by a fine writer. At times it brought to mind David Byrne's movie about another American Nowheresville, True Stories, a movie which, like Ford's book, observes the human animal with friendship, understanding and an almost clinical detachment
Powerful and haunting
A concise and moving story ... One comes away from this brief novel surprised by the depth of the author's achievement
Among the very best American fiction
