Jay Kelly: los problemas de un hombre que no entra en el promedio
Noah Baumbach es un cineasta con un tono muy específico. Pertenece al legado de directores como Woody Allen, que crean historias con un diálogo muy característico y poco naturalista. Las críticas por la falta de realismo suelen ser erradas, pues malentienden el propósito: de poco sirve criticar algo por “poco realista” si el realismo nunca fue un objetivo que este estilo de diálogo se propuso alcanzar.
TL;DR
- The film is described as belonging to the legacy of directors like Woody Allen, characterized by distinctive, unnaturalistic dialogue.
- Jay Kelly, a successful but personally unfulfilled movie star, abandons his film plans to chase his estranged daughter to Europe.
- Jay is accompanied by his entourage, including his frustrated manager Ron (Adam Sandler) and agent Liz (Laura Dern).
- The movie critiques the excessively comfortable lives of Hollywood stars and the surrounding people who exist solely to fulfill their desires.
- Jay's journey involves surreal flashbacks of his life, leading to introspective and melancholic reflections.
- The film is considered watchable but ultimately falls short of its potential, with a potentially melodramatic subplot involving Ron and Liz.
- The author suggests the film's aesthetic and charismatic style were insufficient to elevate the narrative.
