The TVI Take
Noah Baumbach's 2012 black-and-white New York film, co-written with star Greta Gerwig. Frances is a twenty-seven-year-old dancer failing to launch.
The film is the seminal portrait of millennial post-college drift and how friendship economies collapse. Sam Levy's monochrome cinematography deliberately references Allen and Truffaut.
