Fascinated looks the mid-forties to the Josh expansive music collection twentysomethings Jamie. “That’s just like my music collection!” He pauses briefly. “Where I have everything on CD ‘.”
Actually should Jamie (Adam Driver) and Josh (Ben Stiller) be a stranger, eventually the age difference is considerable. He discovers But the more time spent with Josh Jamie, the more common interests. This fits all the better, as it is with Josh’s peers friends (Maria Dizzia and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz) exactly behaves the other way around: They still get in the final meters children, which is why the childless Josh and his wife Cornelia (Naomi Watts ) them feel as foreign as never before. Although the two have come to terms with the fact that they can not have children – so it emphasizes any case Cornelia. But before they face the painful question of why her life still feels so empty, are Jamie and his wife Darby (Amanda Seyfried) on the spot. With the young hipsters – he is a documentary filmmaker, she runs a small ice cream factory – get Josh and Cornelia being amazed not get out. Since the apartment of the young couple – full mechanical typewriters, vinyl records and VHS tapes (“Everything that we have thrown out years ago,” says Cornelia amazed). As are their leisure activities – they play equally enthusiastic board games as they visit weekend seminars where common hallucinogenic fashionable drug ayahuasca is taken. And there is their generally relaxed attitude towards the world – as the four one evening can not remember the word marzipan, Josh wants to get his smartphone to google it. But Jamie and Darby stop him: “Let’s just do not know.”Behind the vintage facade
The strained pop culture fan who threatens to fall slowly from the time, Ben Stiller has ever played: in “Greenberg” (2010 ), his first film, directed by Noah Baumbach. But “Greenberg” was a strange transition film for Stiller as for Baumbach. The role of the eponymous annoying Grant moth did not fit right to Stiller, and the new, comedic tone that Baumbach to its bulky masterpieces “The Squid and the Whale” (2005) and “Margot at the Wedding” (2007) tried also failed.
The best thing about “Greenberg” is in retrospect probably that Baumbach while shooting his partner Greta Gerwig met, with whom he next the wonderful city dwellers comedy “Frances Ha” wrote and directed her in the lead role – not a commercial, but a creative breakthrough, with Baumbach showed that he can evoke more emotion than pity, dismay and acute Fremdscham.
charmed the empathy and exhilaration, with the “Francis Ha,” is felt as an echo in “Chill mid-twenties”. Nevertheless Baumbach’s eighth film is uneven compact and directly funnier. Skillfully made use Baumbach changing sources of humor, sometimes it is the wit of the dialogue, sometimes a slapstick deposit, even the silliness of a prop – about the small Fedora, the Josh buys. (Comment of his friends: “You are an old man with a hat!”)
With two pairs in different phases of life at the center Baumbach can examine two worlds on their deformation to, and he does so with a pointedly awareness that well is amusing as revealing.The younger generation appears here initially harmless-hedonistic, but behind the vintage facade of relentless desire hides for self-promotion. The older generation has been concentrating established in their relative prosperity without them would be mentally similarly well positioned as it is substantive. The umbilical cord of the parents, their own children, the career change – all of which has displaced them and instead buy Apple products.
Is a life model better than the other? Indeed Baumbach reveals distinct sympathies, as changed the dynamics between the two pairs, because Josh and Jamie suddenly professionally in competition with each other. But that assumes “Feels like mid-twenties” neither his wit – yet it does not release a as a spectator it to face up to the film of the unpleasant question: Can I have it actually better with aging there? Wiser will not entertain this summer.
