| Greta Gerwig the New Feminist |
Greta Gerwig has just stolen the crown off Woody Allen's head and gone dancing down the street.
Woody Allen is running after her brandishing an ornate stick of some kind. He is screaming,
Wait! Wait! You forgot your scepter!
The new feminist philosophers have written about the new woman and here she is. This film written by Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig, with Gerwig as its star is sensational. OMG to not be about The Production of the Couple in any of its variations.
Sontag, Malabou, Butler, Rubenstein, and all the rest of you that we love, she is Greta Gerwig!
She is graceful, she is clumsy, she is so cool, she is so uncool, she is not svelte, she is ugly, she is beautiful. She is unlabelable!
A scene where she is teaching ballet to young girls. And all I can think of is Yvonne Rainer saying about ballet, "Look at me how beautiful I am!"
She choreographs a dance and it is Pina Bausch, Kai Takei's Moving Earth, Yvonne Rainer, and too many to mention here.
Go see it and die. If you don't I will kill you.
