Noah Baumbach | 'The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)' Press Conference | NYFF55

Noah Baumbach revisits the terrain of family vanities and warring attachments that he began exploring with The Squid and the Whale in this intricately plotted story of three middle-aged siblings (Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and Elizabeth Marvel) coping with their strong-willed father (Dustin Hoffman) and the flightiness of his wife (Emma Thompson). Baumbach’s film never stops deftly changing gears, from surges of pathos to painful comedy and back again. Needless to say, this lyrical quicksilver comedy is very much a New York experience. A Netflix release.

these interviewers are hilarious to me. they literally spend the whole time twisting their questions into statements in order to somehow impress the filmmakers they're questioning.

Thanks for posting these. Really fun to listen to directors.

I think why movie is so great is that characters shown when they are most vulnerable. That kinda creates this image of horrid dysfunction in them. So i get her question of why women found them charming. Also they are in the company of family and this family apperantly doesnt care that much about being presantable and attractive.

Gifted film-maker. I loved this film. Noah's made some very interesting films over the years. Funny though, he doesn't seem at all like the characters he often writes.

It's all about the benjamins as they say.
