White Noise 2022

 

White Noise 

Noah Baumbach follows his Oscar-winning “Marriage Story” with “White Noise,” an adaptation of Don DeLillo novel that stands as the most ambitious movie Baumbach has ever made. Adam Driver plays an entitled Hitler studies professor and Greta Gerwig stars as his pill-popping wife. The couple must protect their family when their community is upended by an airborne toxic event. 

                                           

From Variety’s review: “A meticulously reverent adaptation of Don DeLillo’s acerbic domestic academic satirical dystopian novel of American middle-class life in the 1980s, it’s the kind of madly audacious, swing-for-the-fences literary-event movie that a gifted director makes when he’s coming off a celebrated success and feeling his power in the industry, wanting to elevate his artistry to the next level.
