“If more people would see Lubitsch movies – they would be happier and more hopeful.” Of Peter Bogdanovich has long been convinced. “The Importance of Seeing Ernst” he has already postulated earlier. For the “New Hollywood” veterans Ernst Lubitsch has always been an important role model: see Earnest
In an interview book with well-known US filmmakers he integrated the emigrated from Berlin in 1946 late director (“To Be or Not! “) as” The Director I Never Met – but most wanted to ”
A film of all it has done to Bogdanovich: “Cluny Brown”, Lubitsch’s last finished in his lifetime work. Famous of professionals based in pre-war England social comedy is not least for their wit. The most absurd of their dialogue, speaking in front of a clogged kitchen drain, Bogdanovich has now raised to the “gist” of his own movie
“squirrels for nuts.” – The reverse of the usual feeding situation becomes the signal for the re-evaluation of all conventions. “Broadway Therapy” is recommended as a healing Vademekum the anarchic “Anything Goes”. For where genre films constantly have to observe all sorts of rules, the successful comedy always follows only one: possible lustfully against all others to violate.
sex services, turned upside down
“squirrels for nuts” is accordingly the stabbing and magic word, with the Hollywood director Arnold Albertson (Owen Williams) to provide sexual service relationships to the head nurses: by prostitutes after completed Liebesnacht $ 30,000 awarded with the proviso to use it for training and transition in their dream job. A New York escort girl will probably have been the last, which he delighted in this way.
Because Isabella Patterson (Imogen Poots), the old Hollywood movies in general and Audrey Hepburn’s Party Girl from “Breakfast at Tiffany “worshiped in particular wants to be an actress. And is now quite perplexed when she recognizes its director as her client and benefactors at a casting-appointment for a Broadway play.
From the “authenticity” of their audition as a prostitute the lead actress is such a delight, that it pushes through occupation at Arnold Isabella -. Too bad that Delta (Kathryn Hahn) is also his wife
emotional support in this dilemma studied the distraught young actress then in the therapist Jane (Jennifer Aniston), her boyfriend Joshua (Will Forte) happens to be the author of the piece is to be sampled stage – and the smart Isabella falls instantaneously. The fact that his father keeps an eye on the young woman, namely, in his capacity as a private investigator, Joshua noticed only when its authority, the judge Pendergast (Austin Pendleton), a jealous Lustgreis yet Janes patient, takes the stage.
How to Bogarts Weltkriegskaschemme, just funny
“Everybody Comes to Rick’s” was the play, based on the “Casablanca”. And of course it is no coincidence that the Italian host, in which the entire baggage of the evening successive hits involuntarily, goes by the name “Nick”. If they deliver in its cozy Trattoria their verbal skirmishes, it comes in “Nick’s” between the antagonists to no less grim than in Humphrey Bogart Weltkriegskaschemme -. But just a lot of fun
the plot of the people rich romp want to, similarly futile as “Cluny Brown” or “To be or not.” Because mimes and neurotics have no inhibitions, to sweep their Eitel- and vulnerabilities to the outside, each urging here after his big appearance -. A little human weakness, benefits understanding of the movie
“Broadway Therapy” is a high-revving Update those classic screwball comedies, where a squabble between the sexes becomes an entertaining slugfest. Each “punchline” a hit! Even Isabella’s true name “Izzy Finkelstein” proves to be a tribute to Lubitsch, who appeared in his early Filmburlesken prefers Role names like “Siegi” or “Sally”. “Lubitsch Touch” have on the numerous and continuous doors, put in the frivolous game, the dramatic turning points.
“Heaven, I’m in Heaven” sang Fred Astaire in the intro of the leader. And as in heaven the moviegoers can then actually feel for a half hour. Especially because he here – with Tatum O’Neal (“Paper Moon”) as a waitress and Cybill Shepherd (from “The Last Picture Show”) as Izzy’s mother – almost faded gewähnte companions of the director again encounter. For 13 years, Bogdanovich had rotated out of film, “Broadway Therapy” is based on an even written 15 years ago screenwriter.
The production took the film now by Noah Baumbach (“Feels like mid-twenties”) and Wes Anderson , the currently hottest representatives of “New Hollywood”. With Quentin Tarantino, whose cameo shorts the film historical charade with the hipness cinema of the present, they are well thought: The people would be happier and more hopeful, could you turn Peter Bogdanovich More Movies
