I have always felt like I’m acting because I love it, but I don’t particularly have any right to be doing it. - Greta Gerwig, as interviewed by Lena Dunham for Paper Magazine
An address on Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn. An F train that never comes. Unfinished on-spec scripts for “Saturday Night Live.” The artistically inclined friend of yours who, incongruously, is dating a man who works at Goldman Sachs. That exorbitant $3 fee at the Bank of America A.T.M. — and the long unpalatable walk to the next deli, to find a cheaper option.

Such are the totems of young life in New York City, the visual and emotional shorthand that anyone who has lived and struggled here in their underfinanced 20s will immediately recognize. This period of time — the years of going to adult dinner parties without anything adult to relate; the friendships that end over trivial matters of geography and relationship status; the afternoons of waking up at 2 p.m., and starting to drink at 3 — is the subject, loosely, of a heartfelt new film from Noah Baumbach, “Frances Ha.”
A take, in this case, refers to the entirety of the above printed text, acted from beginning to end. Meaning that Mickey Sumner, playing Sophie, and I, playing Frances, said those words and performed those actions 42 times in a row. The scene had to play “in one,” a take in its entirety, with no edits. The take is the scene. Noah Baumbach, the director and my co-writer, was going to have to pick only one of those 42 takes for the final film.

The most striking feature is how the contours of the buildings form everything from beards to mythical animals.
