20th Century Women Trailer – Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig & Elle Fanning head for 1979

September 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mike Mills last film was the touching Beginners, about a man (Ewan McGregor) shocked by the revelation that his ageing father (Christopher Plummer) is gay. Now he’s back with 20th Century Women, which takes us back to the 1970s.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Written and directed by acclaimed writer and director Mike Mills (Beginners, Thumbsucker), and starring 4-time Academy Award® Nominee Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right, American Beauty), Greta Gerwig (France Ha, Greenberg) and Elle Fanning (Maleficent, Super 8). 20th Century Women tells the story of three remarkable women, each from a different era of the 20th century, coming together to help teach a teenage boy about life and love, sex and freedom, men and women. Set in Santa Barbara in the summer of 1979, filled with punk-rock verve, 20th Century Women takes a humorous and heartfelt look at how we figure out who we are.’

The movie premieres at the New York Film Festival this October, and should in UK cinemas next year. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Frances Ha Trailer – Greta Gerwig reteams with Noah Baumbach

March 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Greta Gerwig is keeping to her indie roots, reteaming with her Greenberg director Noah Baumbach for what looks like an unusual, quirky, black & white comedy drama. It’s difficult to tell exactly what the film is about from the trailer, but it does look like it could be an interesting one (and Baumbach is nearly always an worthwhile voice).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Frances (Greta Gerwig) lives in New York, but she doesn’t really have an apartment. Frances is an apprentice for a dance company, but she’s not really a dancer. Frances has a best friend named Sophie, but they aren’t really speaking anymore. Frances throws herself headlong into her dreams, even as their possible reality dwindles. Frances wants so much more than she has, but lives her life with unaccountable joy and lightness. FRANCES HA is a modern comic fable in which Noah Baumbach explores New York, friendship, class, ambition, failure, and redemption.’

The film is due out May 17th in the US, although no UK date is set yet. [Read more…]

Damsels In Distress Trailer

February 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Whit Stillman got quite a following with the likes of Metropolitan and The Last Days Of Disco, but he hasn’t made a movie in 13 years, until now, that is. He’s back with Damsels In Distress, about a trio of girls set out to change the male-dominated environment of the Seven Oaks college campus, and to rescue their fellow students from depression, grunge and low standards of every kind. Greta Gerwig and Adam Brody star, so take a look at the new trailer. No UK release date is currently set.
