Wonder Wheel
Come along for the ride.
Directed by Woody Allen
Produced by Gravier Productions, Amazon Studios
A melancholic 1950s period drama set against the faded glamour of Coney Island, exploring desire, regret, and entanglement among four damaged characters.
The story of four characters whose lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s: Ginny, an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house; Humpty, Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey, a handsome young lifeguard who dreams of becoming a playwright; and Carolina, Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, who is now hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment.
