Isolation and Human Heart

By: Lisa

The films in this list are where the main actor/ actress are isolated either geographically or emotionally. Some of the leads find trimuph because of their isolation, whilst others find tragedy, These films are really about journeys and adventures that you can only do alone. I hope you like this list.

Thanks
