Leaving October 1
Directed by Greta Gerwig and Joe Swanberg | 80 mins | 2008
Following the subgenre-crystallizing success of "Hannah Takes the Stairs" (2007), Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig reunited for another low-key, Cassavettes-channeling mumblecore opus. The co-directors, -writers, and -stars play James and Mattie—in the film’s first half, a long-distance couple divided between Chicago and New York, and in the second, an ex-couple, reunited when James comes to New York for work. A bittersweet and refreshingly raw reminder of the "Barbie" director’s “mumble” beginnings.
