Tiny Furniture

2010. USA. Dir: Lena Dunham. With Dunham, Laurie Simmons. 98 min.

With college graduation as our impending reality (doom), it’s nice to know that Lena Dunham can commiserate with the feeling of moving back in with the family (except that she’s a 24-year-old with an acclaimed feature film under her belt). This comedy of insecurity in the spirit of THE GRADUATE delights with bold dialogue and physical humor.

Is it a flashback or a circus performance? Is it real or a spectacle? Is it expectation or exploitation? Is it film or is it life? It’s Monsieur Ophuls’ last and grandest film, a controversial controversy, a truth within a lie. Let the story of Lola Montes, Europe’s greatest lover, begin!
