Greta Gerwig w/d Whit Stillman
Another delightful oddball satire from that dissector of preppie-class absurdity. Comedy from America's chattering class by one of its sons.
In this film he stretches out into the surreal and will alienate many but if you are willing to give his characters time they become more and more endearing. GG pulls off a very difficult feat...treading the line just short of obnoxious. A few laughs in here but mostly the kind of subliminal chuckles that tickle just beneath the surface.
He ends the film with a wonderful full-on song and dance homage to the Astaire/Rogers silliness from the 30's. Kudos.
