Noah Baumbach & Cast on the Making of White Noise | NYFF60

Noah Baumbach, cast members Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, May Nivola, Sam Nivola, Jodie Turner-Smith, composer Danny Elfman, and songwriter James Murphy discuss 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.

Honestly came out of that movie feeling like I just saw an instant classic

[@DoctorRevers]

Awesome movie. Yeah at first I was like….hmm ok. Will be watching it again and possibly reading the book.

Adam looks very very tired. He flew in from Italy.

[@DeWessel97]

love this movie and the tone it manages to set! great use of colour and tempo and weird sometimes ridiculous conversations. love seeing baumbach succeed making something so stylised, so different from marriage story or frances ha, all this diversity makes me very curious to see what he (and greta!) come up with next!
