“The Yellow Handkerchief”, a story of newfound love… Movie Review & Interview by Stan Robinson With big budget, mainstream films taking center stage, “The Yellow Handkerchief” is a breath of fresh air with a central theme of reconnecting with the basic aspect of our humanity, love. Director Udayan Prasad presents a story, with rural Louisiana as the backdrop, of four people who are at crucial points in their lives. I call these types of films “slice of life” movies where we join characters at a point in time, stay with them for a while, and leave… It’s a lazy afternoon in a small Louisiana town. A young teenager named Martine (Kristen Stewart from the ‘Twilight’ movies) has issues with her father and decides to leave with nowhere in particular in mind. She accepts a ride from Gordy (Eddie Redmayne) an awkward young teen who had been eyeing her earlier in a roadside diner. With nowhere particular in mind, they get on the road. Just when the uneasiness heightens for Martine, they meet Brett (William Hurt), a loner, humble middle age man just released from prison who needs a ride. In the midst of the pouring rain, the unlikely trio sets out, each person unsure of the destination, as Brett is unwillingly pulled into the mentoring role of the adult of reason. As Brett is adjusting to his freedom and issues of his own, they meet May (Maria Bello), a woman who has ‘turned off’ her emotions from a previous relationship and holds the world at bay. There’s more along with my fascinating conversation with director Udayan Prasad as he shares insight on his latest movie, “The Yellow Handkerchief”, at www.ScreenScene.org Starring William Hurt, Maria Bello, Kristen Stewart, Eddie Redmayne, Emmanuel Cohn, Nurith Cohn, and Veronica Russell. Directed by Udayan Prasad. Written by Erin Dignam. Samuel Goldwyn Films release. Rated PG-13 for sexual content, some violence, language and thematic elements. Runtime: 102 minutes.
