Noah Baumbach’s Adventures in Moviegoing

Noah Baumbach’s Adventures in Moviegoing

202626 min

Growing up in New York City as the son of two writers, director Noah Baumbach had a unique exposure to a wide range of cinema—from classic swashbucklers to French New Wave masterpieces—from an early age. In this edition of Adventures in Moviegoing, the Jay Kelly director sits down with Criterion president Peter Becker to discuss those formative cinematic experiences. The films he has chosen to present include graceful comedies from Ernst Lubitsch (TO BE OR NOT TO BE) and Jacques Tati (MONSIEUR HULOT’S HOLIDAY) as well as exquisitely subtle, humanistic marriage stories from Yasujiro Ozu (THE FLAVOR OF GREEN TEA OVER RICE) and Satyajit Ray (CHARULATA).
