Gene Kelly retro at Film Society (thru Jul 26)
July 13, 2012I'm happy again and like myself: 100 years of Gene.
“Ephron, who makes her directorial debut with this very smart and likable comedy, is a writer who likes to look at the little stuff–the stray, mundane, revelatory details that other people miss–in the midst of the big, glittering worlds everyone wants to crash: Washington, show biz, the Manhattan intelligentsia. We see the world of talk-show TV, Las Vegas clubs, the glamour-glitz sites. But we see them from the edges: the perspective of two young girls whose mother zooms to success in stand-up comedy. There’s something wonderfully earthy in the way Ephron lets the performances flower. They aren’t forced or showy; they’re as natural as breathing.”
