The Yellow Wallpaper

This psychological thriller follows Jane, a 19th-century woman suffering from postpartum depression, and her husband John, who prescribes her 'the rest cure', the era’s leading treatment for “female hysteria.” Isolated for months in a room covered in yellow wallpaper, she is forbidden from reading, writing or mental stimulation. To pass the time in her confinement, Jane studies the patterns in the wallpaper and becomes convinced that a woman is trapped within it. Losing her grip on reality, she determines that it is up to her to set this imprisoned figure free.
