having argued with her partner matteo, played by diego luna, on the drive home from a party, new motherienne finds herself in a horrific car crash after which she thinks she's died, witnessing her own funeral and watching herfamily fall apart with grief. hey, adrienne! come down! what are you doing? yet matteo, who was in the car with her and can clearly see and talk to her, tells her that she's simply recovering from trauma, picking up the pieces of a shattered life. oh, my god, you're dead, too. what? no, no, i'm not. and you're not. is adrienne hallucinating, is she in a coma or is she somehow haunting her own life? written and directed by tara miele and shot way back in 2018, wander darkly is a film whose modest budget belies its very high ambitions, a metaphysical drama about the meaning of life and attempts to turn a posttraumatic love story into a terrence malick—esque meditation upon existence. this is real. some would liken the narrative to a cross between eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and ghost, although to me, it was more reminiscent ofjacob�*s ladder, the twisted 90s
