Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)

Hannah Takes the Stairs: Directed by Joe Swanberg. With Greta Gerwig, Kent Osborne, Andrew Bujalski, Ry Russo-Young. Hannah is a recent college graduate interning at a Chicago production company. She is crushing on two writers at work, Matt and Paul, who share an office and keep her entertained. Will a relationship with one of them disrupt the delicate balance of their friendship?

“Hannah Takes The Stairs has poor production values, a slow pace, boring locations, and no actors you have ever heard of, and thatu0026#39;s what makes this film so special. This is clearly a film made by a group of friends and artists, exploring their lives and the art of film-making simultaneously. Itu0026#39;s simplistic rawness allows for an honest, and at times voyeuristic tone that examines the simple difficulties of young people learning to make grown-up decisions. This film is certainly not for everyone, but if you can forgive the ultra-low budget blemishes it is very worthwhile. In many ways, Hannah Takes the Stairs is the future of film-making that Francis Ford Coppola predicted in Hearts of Darkness.”
