Questions and Answers With Greta Gerwig

16 May 2013 12:22 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Single young women of New York City, get ready for your mom to worry about what your day-to-day life is like! (And just when we'd explained to her that it's not like "Girls," too.) Everyone else, brace yourselves for your new favorite indie charmer: "Frances Ha."

Greta Gerwig plays the titular Frances, a 27-year-old modern dancer prone to scabby knees, bouts of wild movement in front of fountains and white lies about her employment status — but it's cool, she readily admits, as she's "not a real person yet."

The film, directed by Noah Baumbach and co-written by Baumbach and Gerwig, will finally hit limited release on May 17 after running the festival circuit in New York, Toronto and Telluride last fall. The agonizing six-month gap between festival screenings and the official release date, however, was better than letting the finished film sit on the shelf until spring, Gerwig told NextMovie.

Waiting for the Barbarians by Daniel Mendelsohn – review

5 January 2013 4:08 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

The American classicist takes on Mad Men and Avatar in an eye-opening collection of critical essays

Homer, Herodotus, Horace – such are some of the names that crop up in Daniel Mendelsohn's second collection of essays. And why wouldn't they? Mendelsohn, professor of humanities at Bard College in New York state, is a classicist whose PhD on Euripides was the origin of one of his first books and who has translated from the Greek three volumes of Cp Cavafy's poems – one of whose titles he has borrowed for Waiting for the Barbarians.

Not that the waiting is a worry for Mendelsohn. Like the heroes of Cavafy's poem, he knows that civilisations can need shaking up and that those barbarians might be "a solution of a sort".
