Frances Ha film poster, 2012
“I was interested in the death of youth and that there is no ceremony for it. There is a ceremony for birth, for marriage, for death. But there is no ceremony for when you are no longer a young person. It’s just something that you realize has happened after it’s already happened. I wanted to give that a movie.”
“Writing with Greta was like a conversation that never ended. We wanted it to feel spontaneous and alive, but it was actually very structured. Every ‘um’ and ‘ah’ was in the script.”
Noah Baumbach, 2013
