Wonderland (1999)
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
There's little wonder in the working-class lives of Bill, Eileen, and their three grown daughters. They're lonely Londoners. Nadia, a cafe waitress, places personal ads, looking for love; Debbie, a single mom, entertains men at the hair salon after hours; her son spends part of the weekend with her ex, a man with a hair-trigger temper. Molly is expecting her first baby and its father acts as if the responsibility is too much for him.

What critics compared Wonderland to
Ce dernier avait d’ailleurs participé par le passé à la bande originale de deux autres films de Michael Winterbottom, soit The Claim et Wonderland .
Michael Winterbottom (Jude, Welcome to Sarajevo, Wonderland, This World) is a humanistic director who has created a fascinating cross-cut of films about the many variations of human intimacy.
I was smitten with his "Wonderland" (another Sundance entry), finding its slowness appropriate for drawing out the characters' personalities.
