In the US smart-comedy “Feels like mid-twenties” playing Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts a couple that has set up perfect in life – and gets into a crisis. A funny, yet deeply sad movie.
It is so difficult, such a film to Turn – a funny movie, which is also very sad, this pretty smart, and yet full of affection. Noah Baumbach has succeeded and in “Chill mid-twenties” is about a pair of mid-40s, has arrived. Josh and Cornelia look great, they live in Brooklyn. He is documentarist and teaches at the university, she has been working in the film business her famous father.
You live in a fully networked Apple world the noble surfaces. In their apartment everything looks tasteful and new, yet the rooms are empty. There are hardly any traces of individuality, the biographies stored invisibly in the cloud, and the reality is presorted by Twitter and Netflix.
The time seems to stretch, the euphoria of tampering is gone, the good fortune of starting disappeared. The last time that these two people have done something for the first time, ages ago, now lives only a long while. For eight years Josh works at a factory, and when he has his father paraded the six and a half-hour rough cut its documentation says: “Very good, but seven hours too long.”
Josh and Cornelia wanted is once a child, but she pushed the decision on, they were still young, and it no longer worked somehow. Since parents have become her best friends and have little more time, they wonder whether their lives are really the life that they want to lead.
In the most bitter scene they want to surprise your friends and burst into a Party for parents and small children, to which they were not invited. Ask yourself the question, and even irony and sarcasm do not protect more
He. “I like our life as it is.” You: “Yes, we could fly to Paris tomorrow, if we wanted to.” He: “. Exactly such short notice we would indeed difficult to find an affordable flight, but yes.” You: “I know I could not simply so away from work..” He: “Maybe we should plan for travel planning one month.” You: “A month is still counted as spontaneously.”
Baumbach is even 45 years old, and in the US it is celebrated as the new Woody Allen. Ten years ago Baumbach made of his parents’ divorce a moving film, “The Squid and the Whale” he called. He turned the psychogram “Greenberg” starring Ben Stiller, he gave the daughter he has with the actress Jennifer Jason Leigh, the name Rohmer – after his idol, the French director Eric Rohmer. And he turned his life crisis film “Frances Ha”, stay away from the black and white scenes, especially those memories in which Baumbach’s new girlfriend Greta Gerwig to David Bowie’s “Modern Love” flees from the future. “Feels like mid-twenties” is his masterpiece
Josh and Cornelia eventually encounter a pair of mid-twenties, both very casual, very cool. Jamie wants to be a director, Darby manufactures ice cream. The encounter is like a fountain of youth, and especially Josh, the apparent innocence of the younger counterpart had sought to borrow. When he visited the new acquaintance and Jamie’s vast vinyl collection by looks, he says: “That’s exactly my record collection only that my CDs are..” He thinks his younger self to face, a better self. He buys a hat, as Jamie wears it, he begins to ride a bicycle -. Until the doctor forbids because of arthritis in the knee
Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are Josh and Cornelia, and it is wonderful to see how they give their affection depending on the level of knowledge a different tint. They are a little reminiscent Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn as the film with its fast and snappy dialogue has anything of a screwball comedy. Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried play Jamie and Darbie, they float with half-closed eyes through the film, and Adam Driver has the series “Girls” the most fascinating Nervensäge Hollywood. But the calculation with which he met Josh’s father, from whom he hopes to promote: With a pirouette he rises from his chair, palms like the Dalai puts together Lama and bows
As the elderly couple. realize how ridiculous it looks when being young, is a love story from the comedy. The older you get, the better you used to be, that is the self-deception of age. Josh and Cornelia will share their self-confidence, destroy the Picture of Dorian Gray and make friends with her reflection. Basically, this is an essay about existential uncertainty and how to be their Lord. From lifestyle is life, from wool will be. Noah Baumbach is a sociologist and philosopher, and because he likes the people and his characters anyway, he shows them the way to the serenity. This morning feels at its best, and yesterday is not important
“Chill center twenty “is a great and truthful movie about our present
