A student film inspired by the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper is the story of a woman who is placed in isolation to recover from a ‘condition’. Over time she begins to observe something transform in the strange looking wallpaper. It is ambiguous whether her ‘condition’ or the isolation is the cause of her eventual descent into madness. Each character struggles to forge freedom from the oppression of culturally dictated gender roles experienced by those in the Victorian Age as well as, many of us still, today.
