While We're Young (2014 Noah Baumbach & scr)

Funnily enough I had only just clicked that Jesse Eisenberg was in The Squid and the Whale - and that we didn't have a copy - and that was by Baumbach too. We really enjoyed this, very Woody Allenish really, about a couple who are seduced by younger couple's creativity.  A man has spent 10 years making a documentary, c'mon...

Has much to say about technology e.g. this exchange:
"Why is it that when one person takes out their phone, everyone else does."
"I know, it's so rude."
"It used to be rude. It isn't any more."
And the toddler on his phone at the end is priceless.

But - Yes vinyl is cool, but VHS? Lots of other good stuff about new parents etc.

Also v interesting about documentary - had me thinking about Ralph Rosenblum's episode with Flaherty (told in 'When the Shooting Stops'). Interesting, eclectic soundtrack, too.

Adam Sandler, Naomi Watts, Adam Driver, Amanda Egg, Charles Grodin.

Ah... Wes Anderson - Noah co-wrote Fantastic Mr Fox and The Life Aquatic, wrote and directed Margot at the Wedding.
