Frances Ha
2012 · Movie · 86 min. · United States
Greta Gerwig stars as Frances, an apprentice in a dance company who wants so much more than she has but lives life with unaccountable joy and lightness. Frances is 27 and lives with her best friend Sophie in New York. She is busy reinventing her career as a dancer. Again. And again. Although it’s been a while since she graduated, a fully functioning professional life still seems like a distant dream. Even though her jobsearch ends in one disappointment after another, she’s fairly content with her life with Sophie even though they're a bit like an old married couple. But then Sophie without warning moves into her dream flat in Tribeca with another girlfriend and Frances suddenly finds herself out on the street. Now she not only has to find a new place to live but also a new place in the world, since only very few of her lofty ambitions look likely to come to fruition.
