White Noise (15)
Dir. Noah Baumbach, US, 2022, 135 mins. Cast. Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Jodie Turner-Smith.
Jack Gladney, a four-times married college professor, leads an ordinary life – or as ordinary as one’s life can be when you’re a pioneer in the field of Hitler studies but have only just started learning German. Noah Baumbach delivers a thrilling, genre bending adaptation of Don DeLillio’s novel with Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig taking the lead as a married couple attempting to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death, and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world. Joined by an all-star cast playing family, friends and co-workers, Driver’s anti-hero finds himself on a journey to conquer his crippling fear of death, with some very unexpected results.
At once hilarious and horrifying, lyrical and absurd, ordinary and apocalyptic, White Noise dramatizes a contemporary American family’s experience in this ambitious, comic look at human relationships. It’s a film that is sure to delight Baumbach’s fans, old and new.
