Brandy in the Wilderness

Brandy in the Wilderness is a 1971 American drama film directed by Stanton Kaye. On December 18, 2013, the Library of Congress announced that this film had been selected for the National Film Registry for being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.

Kaye as Weiss opens the film with a rundown of his history in the film business, describing or depicting important events, people, and locations he deems pertinent. Some scenes and stories are factual, such as Kayes fathers departure from acting work to sell womens clothes at farmers markets, while others are fictionalized, such as moments purportedly depicting his early student film work. He recounts at length his initial meeting with Brandy when both were living in New York, their initial decision to collaborate on a project, an extended road trip the two of them engage in and simultaneously film, and the breakdown of their relationship soon afterward. Weiss essentially concludes his story by saying that in order to complete the project, he has agreed to cohabitate with Brandy, since she has taken possession of the film elements.At this point, Brandy takes over narration, providing her own similar personal background history, and more importantly, her version of the relationship with Weiss. In her telling of the events previously described by Weiss, the audience is shown many moments of volatality between them, and Weiss often cruel treatment of her, particularly after she becomes pregnant with his child. At the end of the film, Weiss and Brandy are seen with their newborn daughter and pets in a moment of uneasy but otherwise calm tranquility, and the film ends with Brandy describing that, around the time of her fathers funeral, her daughter was first able to stand under her own power, as the final frame depicts the infant standing upright. ........
