Announced today as
part of the Sundance
Film Festival, we now have a
first look at the
film — titled «Mistress America «-- which stars Gerwig (who also co-wrote the script with Baumbach) and Lola Kirke (the sister
of Jemima Kirke from «Girls «-RRB-, along with a
complete plot synopsis.
Along with a screenwriter commentary and blooper reel (both
of which appear on the
first disc with the movie), the two - disc set also includes a 25 - minute pre-production featurette («Charting the Return») covering (among other things) the struggle
of the writers to
complete the script in time, a lengthy production featurette («According to Plan») on the actual
filming, and a three -
part featurette («Mastering the Blade») on weapons training for Bloom, Knightley and Davenport.
It unfolds in three
parts: the
first is arranged around DOB, a character invented by the artist and considered to be his alter ego; the second around a pictorial fresco which references the story
of the «EIGHT IMMORTALS»
of the Taoist religion;
completing the display is a «KAWAII» space
of sculptures and animated
films.
