Frances HA
Frances Ha is a fabulous
film directed by Noah Baumbach. This movie takes viewers on a roller coaster ride
of emotions. Frances (Greta Gerwig) is as a vivacious, silly, and fun loving girl that
quickly plummets into a deep depression. Frances is a struggling apprentice with
a dance company in Brooklyn. Although her financial situation is awful, she
finds solace in spending time with her roommate, Sophie (Mickey Summer). Their
friendship seems to be unbreakable. They forget their problems when they're together
which makes them a truly perfect pair. The movie hits a turning point when Sophie
is offered an opportunity she can't refuse. This influences her to leave the
apartment that bonded the two girls together. Frances immediately loses all
hope and happiness without her best friend. Her situation becomes worse as time passes. She
is constantly forced to move to smaller apartments because the company does not
promote her. In addition, she fails to find the right guy countless times. She
is left alone with her thoughts and worries which is her ultimate internal
conflict. As she attempts to be a
defined individual for the first time, Frances is tested in every aspect of her
life.
Frances Ha is extremely relatable to
anyone who is going to a period of growth or change. We are all confused about
who we are at one point in time. Frances is a perfect example of how to get
back up when we hit rock bottom. The most significant part of this film is the
fact that it is shot in black and white. There are many awkward, clever, and hilarious
moments throughout the production. Although the film is silly and cute, the
lack of color reminds the audience that Frances is not fully satisfied with
life. This successfully portrays France's inner troubles and flaws. The film is
creatively shot and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates good
cinematography. Frances Ha is a
highly relatable, quirky film that is easy to fall in love with.
