The Land of Plenty

2004 • Director: Wim Wenders
Drama • 124 minutes • Unrated
IFC Films and Reverse Angle
Starring John Diehl, Michelle Williams


Teetering on melodrama for the duration of the film without quite crossing over, The Land of Plenty presents two opposing views of the world in the aftermath of 9/11. Speaking the best lines of the film, Williams pulls her character inside out, offering poignancy and highlighting the complications of the truth. Rating: B+
