A love story about divorce, a marriage coming apart and a family coming together. Marriage Story is a hilarious and harrowing, sharply observed, and deeply compassionate film from the acclaimed writer-director Noah Baumbach. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson deliver tour-de-force performances as Charlie, a charismatic New York theater director wedded to his work, and Nicole, an actor who is ready to change her own life. Their hopes for an amicable divorce fade as they are drawn into a system that pits them against each other and forces them to redefine their relationship and their family. Featuring bravura, finely drawn supporting turns from Alan Alda, Ray Liotta, and Laura Dern—who won an Academy Award for her performance here—as the trio of lawyers who preside over the legal battle, Marriage Story (nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture) is a work of both intimacy and scope that ultimately invokes hope amid the ruins.
Peter Bogdanovich directs and co-writes this comedy starring Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston and Imogen Poots. One of prostitute Isabella Patterson (Poots)'s clients is Broadway director Arnold Albertson (Wilson). When she auditions for one of his plays things get complicated, especially since he is married to the star of the production Delta Simmons (Kathryn Hahn). The situation only gets more out of hand when Isabella becomes involved with her therapist Jane Claremont (Aniston)'s boyfriend, playwright Joshua Fleet (Will Forte). The cast also includes Rhys Ifans, Cybill Shepherd, Illeana Douglas and Joanna Lumley. Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach are among the film's executive producers.
Darkly comic indie drama directed by Noah Baumbach. Ben Stiller stars as Roger Greenberg, a 40-year-old man with little direction or purpose in his life. After suffering an emotional breakdown, he goes to house-sit for his brother in their hometown in California with the express intention of 'doing nothing for a while'. There he makes a few painfully self-conscious attempts to reconnect with old friends and lovers, and falls into a relationship of sorts with his brother's 26-year-old personal assistant, Florence (Greta Gerwig).
Third film in the popular CGI-animated children's series following the adventures of a number of New York zoo animals that are deemed unruly and released into the wild. Though their previous attempt to escape Madagascar and make it back to New York failed, Alex the Lion (voice of Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock) and Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer) remain determined to return to the Big Apple. When the trio find themselves in Monte Carlo on the run from European animal control, they decide that their best chance of making it home is to join a travelling circus as performing animals. Though the circus, led by a world-weary tiger, appears to be on a downward slide, the zest of Alex, Marty and Melman quickly helps to reinvigorate it. But will the circus finally help them make it back to New York?
Comedy adventure starring Bill Murray as internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou. Steve and his crew, Team Zissou, set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly non-existant Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou's partner during the documentary filming of their last adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot who may or may not be Zissou's son (Owen Wilson), a beautiful journalist (Cate Blanchett) assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and Zissou's estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston). They face overwhelming complications including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy.
Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow direct this documentary which explores the five-decade career of renowned filmmaker and screenwriter Brian De Palma. With the aid of archive footage and extensive interviews with De Palma himself, the film gives an intriguing insight into the life of one of Hollywood's most successful directors. While candidly providing a film-by-film account of his distinguished career, De Palma also recalls many of the challenges he and other directors have faced while attempting to make new and original films in the Hollywood studio system.
