This is a story about a unique bond between a young man with creative aspirations and his neighbor, an abstract impressionist painter facing the sunset of her life. The fresh bloom of friendship that the new neighbor offers impacts the relative calm of their world. Yet, the Japanese woman - with an expiring visa - has her own demons to face. The story explores synchronicity and the fragile ties that bind us to certain people and certain junctures of our lives.
Directed by Elmer Bowman, Dear Willie leans on a strong ensemble — Charles Black, Deborah Duke — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2011.
