As the BFI in London screens a season devoted to her oeuvre, we take a look at the formative, low-budget work of actor and director Greta Gerwig
In hindsight, Gerwig’s charisma was always going to be too big for mumblecore, a micro-budget, largely improvised subgenre reflecting the millennial set’s increasing urge to document their lives online. But it’s fun to see her run rings around the cast in Joe Swanberg’s classic entry into the genre, which sees Gerwig play a restless intern at a production company drifting between relationships.
In anwith Whit Stillman last year, founding mumblecore member Andrew Bujalski fondly recalled being upstaged by his co-star: “I mean, to see that talent in bloom … I thought we were all on this goofy little indie project together, making it up as we went along. But I do a scene with Greta and realise, ‘Oh, she’s a real actor.’ To go against that power and think, ‘Oh shit, I’m supposed to hold up my end of this.’ I did my best, but she carried me.
