Capital Celluloid 2013 - Day 212: Wed Jul 31

Frances Ha (Baumbach, 2012): Rio Cinema, 4.30pm, 6.45pm & 9pm

One of the most anticipated releases of the year is out on Friday July 26.

Frances, a dance teacher, aims for the sky in many areas of life, but remains stuck on street-level with most. Revolving around a character whose unwaveringly upbeat outlook is sparklingly portrayed by Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach’s low-budget comedy explores the ever-relevant themes of ambition and financial division with fun and flair. With shades of late-1970s Woody Allen, this black-and-white New York-set movie exudes charm, and portrays a generation that’s under-employed, over-educated and with closer relationships to friends than family members or lovers.

Here is the trailer.
