Noah Baumbach, Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle & More Introduce White Noise | NYFF60

Noah Baumbach, cast members Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, May Nivola, Sam Nivola, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lars Eidinger, composer Danny Elfman, and songwriter James Murphy introduce White Noise, the Opening Night selection of this year’s festival, with NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim. NYFF60 Opening Night is presented by Campari.
In one of the year’s most gratifyingly ambitious American films, Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story) has adapted Don DeLillo’s epochal postmodern 1985 novel White Noise, long perceived as unfilmable, into a richly layered, entirely unexpected work of contemporary satire. Adam Driver heartily embodies Jack Gladney, an ostentatious “Hitler Studies” professor and father-of-four whose comfortable suburban college town life and marriage to the secretive Babette (Greta Gerwig, perfectly donning a blonde mop of “important hair”) are upended after a horrifying nearby accident creates an airborne toxic event of frightening and unknowable proportions. In a tightrope walk of comedy and horror, Baumbach captures the essence of DeLillo’s cacophonous pop-philosophical nightmare on unbounded consumerism, ecological catastrophe, and the American obsession with death. Impeccably matching DeLillo’s and Baumbach’s similarly percussive form of stylized dialogue, White Noise is wonderfully abrasive and awe-inspiring, a precisely mounted period piece entirely befitting our modern, through-the-looking-glass pandemic reality.
