The Yellow Handkerchief |
A road trip through Louisiana transforms three strangers who were originally brought together by their respective feelings of loneliness. The movies starts a bit slow. The use of flashbacks as means to connect the story of Hanson, a newly released prison inmate portrayed by Hurt, to the present helps make sense of the odd trio. Those who aren't patient with plot and character development might be frustrated with the first 30 minutes. The common bond of emotional pain join the three in a unique pursuit of forever-love. I liked this movie. It wasn't a sappy teen love story. The Yellow Handkerchief is a film of hope and second chances.
