The beautiful journey of Greta Gerwig
Greta Gerwig achieved monumental success during the summer of 2023 thanks to his film Barbie. Starring Margot Robbie, the film grossed more than $1.4 billion at the global box office. A record for a film directed by a solo female (Frozen 2 surpasses Barbie strictly speaking, but is co-directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee). From now on the general public should know who Greta Gerwig is.
Obviously, even before Barbie, the filmmaker had proven herself, but reaching a “less impressive” audience than the comedy with Margot Robbie. In fact, with Dr. March’s daughters (2020), Greta Gerwig had great success as her film grossed more than $216 million. And even before her, her first solo feature film Lady Bird (2017) nearly made $80 million at the global box office.
But if Greta Gerwig is now well identified as a director, let’s not forget that she is also an excellent actress, having demonstrated her value in several films, especially in independent cinema, as with the excellent Francesca Ha (2013)who had participated in his revelation.
The actress was “sublime” in Francesca Ha
Directed by her partner Noah Baumbach and co-written by Greta Gerwig, Francesca Ha follows a young woman from New York who would like to join a dance company. The feature film follows her daily life, her difficulties due to her low income, her meetings (including Adam Driver)her arguments with her best friend, its pains and its joys. Frances Ha basically tells the story of a modern woman trying to find her place and find out what she wants to do with her life. A proposal, partly musical (under the background of Modern love by David Bowie) which convinced the French press to release it in theaters.
