The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, adapted by Rebecca Gilman from the novel by Carson McCullers, tells the story of John Singer, a deaf man, as he navigates the world without his dearest friend who has recently been committed to an insane asylum. When Singer, initially isolated and alone, moves to a small Southern town, the locals—a cafe owner, a rebellious teenager, a black physician, and an idealistic labor organizer—flock to him as a newfound confidant, seeking compassion and understanding from the one person who needs it most. The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter intertwines the lives of these characters in a surprising way that results in a deeply moving story of outcasts in the South during the Great Depression.
