Watch trailer for Noah Baumbach's 'Frances Ha' -- VIDEO

Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig — who first worked together on Greenberg — are back together again with Frances Ha, a black-and-white comedy about two best friends living in New York, trying—or not—to get their charming! awkward! endearing! klutzy! lives together. Directed by Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding) and co-written by Baumbach and Gerwig, who also stars, the movie was a hit on the festival circuit this past fall. A programming note from the Toronto Film Festival says the film, which explores friendship, ambition and failure, “perfectly captures the rhythms of an over-educated, underemployed generation more intimate with their friends than their lovers.”

Speaking of “over-educated and underemployed,” check out Girls’ Adam (Adam Driver) making an appearance in the trailer at 1:19. Watch below: READ FULL STORY »

Noah Baumbach's 'Frances Ha': Greta Gerwig is feeling old -- EXCLUSIVE POSTER AND VIDEO

Frances-Ha

In Noah Baumbach’s Greenberg, Ben Stiller played a depressed and embittered never-was rocker whose life had stalled. It’s a theme that the New York auteur revisits in Frances Ha, his upcoming black-and-white film that stars Stiller’s Greenberg co-star Greta Gerwig. Baumbach and Gerwig co-wrote the script, which tells the story of a 27-year-old aspiring dancer in Brooklyn whose life has failed to take off since graduating from Vassar. She’s still stuck in Girls mode, clinging to a girlfriend (Mickey Sumner) and career aspirations that drift further away with every false step. (Even Adam Driver has a supporting role!)

The minimalist looking film, shot by Wendy & Lucy cinematographer Sam Levy, debuted at last September’s Telluride Film Festival and is currently screening at the Berlin International Film Festival. Judging from an exclusive clip, Frances Ha has all the brutal truth and uncomfortable exchanges that fans of Margot at the Wedding and The Squid and the Whale have come to expect from Baumbach.

Harris Savides, the cinematographer behind some of the most visually striking films and music videos of the last 20 years, passed away today. He was 55.

A native New Yorker, Savides started out his career as a fashion photographer. Moving into music videos, he collaborated with director Mark Romanek on his iconic videos for Madonna’s “Rain” (for which Savides won a Video Music Award), Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer,” Michael and Janet Jackson’s “Scream,” and Fiona Apple’s ”Criminal” – giving each video its own sleek, burnished cinematic bearing.

Harris also worked on music videos and commercials with David Fincher and Gus Van Sant, a partnership that would continue into feature films, including Fincher’s The Game and Zodiac, and six movies with Van Sant: Finding ForresterGerryElephantLast DaysMilk, and Restless. READ FULL STORY »
