Frances Ha comedy movie

Movie story
Frances Ha is a 2012 dramatic comedy film directed by Noah Baumbach and written by Baumbach and Greta Gerwig. Gerwig also plays the title role. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2012. Frances Ha will be commercially released in theaters on May 17, 2013.


Frances Ha is directed by Noah Baumbach and written by Baumbach and Greta Gerwig. Gerwig, who also stars in the film, announced it in April 2012, though Baumbach's involvement was not revealed until the film's listing in the Telluride Film Festival's lineup. Gerwig starred in Baumbach's 2010 film Greenberg, and they decided to collaborate again. They exchanged ideas and developed characters and eventually co-wrote a script, which was Gerwig's first screenwriting effort. The Los Angeles Times highlighted Gerwig's foray as part of a trend of female actors becoming writers or co-writers; other examples include Zoe Kazan for Ruby Sparks and Rashida Jones for Celeste and Jesse Forever. Gerwig said she did not anticipate starring in Frances Ha, but Baumbach thought she suited the part. He filmed Frances Ha digitally and in black-and-white, the latter to emulate in part collaborations by Woody Allen and his cinematographer Gordon Willis in films like Manhattan (1979). CBS News compared Frances Ha's style to the works of Jim Jarmusch and Francois Truffaut.[5] Filming locations included Sacramento in California, Paris in France, and Vassar College, which was Baumbach's alma mater. Gerwig said that Baumbach filmed multiple takes so none of the scenes were truly spontaneous. The filmmakers included a number of pop songs, including "Modern Love" by David Bowie.and "Every 1's A Winner" by Hot Chocolate.
