The Yellow Handkerchief

Legendary producer Arthur Cohn (The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, Central Station & One Day in September) gives director Udayan Prasad (My Son the Fanatic) a chance for a comeback with this subtle but powerful film. Three strangers bond over a road trip through Louisiana where an ex-convict shares his life story with two teenagers who desperately long for human connection and love. William Hurt gives an outstanding performance as the ex-convict that allows his costars Maria Bello, Kristen Stewart and Eddie Redmayne to shine as well in well developed characters. Veteran cinematographer Chris Menges (The Mission & The Reader) is on board for striking images. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
