A classic, National Book Award-winning, satiric, career-launching post-modern novel, the film version reunites director Noah Baumbach and his “While We’re Young/Marriage Stories” star Adam Driver, and gives Driver his first Middle Aged Man role, that of a death-obsessed college professor and Hitler expert.
It’s about media, conspiracies, universal paranoia, violence and more than a few ’80s obsessions rendered in razor strokes that slice and skewer.
Oscar bait? “Coming soon.”
