Listen Up Philip, a narrative project in the October 2013 six-week class, opens in theaters this week… and it just got a glowing review from New York Times critic Manohla Dargis!
“Listen Up Philip” is itself exhilarating because, for all its brutal comedy, it’s a serious work about the struggle to follow your muse and be fully alive in a world shared with other people… Nothing speaks better to this than the astonishing coda to a late, bitter fight in which Mr. Perry and Ms. Moss together create — with a lingering close-up and eddies of triumph, despair, elation and regret — a masterwork about what it is to live for love and not just the self.
The film, directed by Alex Ross Perry and starring Jason Schwartzman and Elisabeth Moss, was also featured in another recent New York Times article about Philip Roth's influence on filmmakers. Read more here.
Opening in select theaters October 17 Available on iTunes and On Demand October 21 A complex, intimate, and highly idiosyncratic comedy, Listen Up Philip is a literary look at the triumph of reality over the human spirit. Anger rages in Philip (Jason Schwartzman) as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel.
