Friends Friday Films: Remembering Gene Wilder, with Reel Talk speaker Karen Wilder

This loving documentary follows the life and career of the singular Gene Wilder, a performer beloved by generations for his work ranging from Mel Brooks comedies to his peerless Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Partially narrated by Wilder’s recordings of his memoir, the film offers new insights and behind-the-scenes understanding of a true icon. Unrated. 1h30m.

Check out a trailer here!

Reel Talk: After the screening, stay with us for a Q & A with Karen Wilder, widow of Gene Wilder who appears in the film. She has worked for decades as a speech pathologist and met Wilder as an advisor on his 1989 film See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
