POLLOCK THEATER

Presented by UCSB’s Carsey Wolf Center

Based on a 1941 novel by Olive Higgins Prouty, Now, Voyager has been central to critical discussions about the women’s film, consumer culture, and feminist film theory. In the film, familial tensions and simmering desires come to a head, throwing conventional ideas of family, love and motherhood into crisis. E. Author of Feminism and Film Ann Kaplan joined Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center Patrice Petro to discuss the enduring legacy of the film.
