From The Archive: Greta Gerwig

This week, Krista takes a look back at her 2022 conversation with Greta Gerwig, whose film “Barbie” has taken the internet and the box office by storm. It’s yet another massive achievement for Greta, who made waves in 2017 with her solo directorial debut Ladybird – a heart wrenching coming of age dramedy that earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. She followed that massive success with her star-studded adaptation of Little Women, which resulted in another Oscar nomination, this time for Best Adapted Screenplay.  
Krista sat down with Greta this past December to talk about her role as Babette in Noah Baumbach’s film "White Noise" – which at the time, marked the couple’s 4th collaboration. That number now stands at 5 after the recent release of "Barbie," which Noah and Greta co-wrote. In this conversation, Greta reflects on her days as a college student in New York City, digs into her creative partnership with Noah, and explains the role that vulnerability plays in both directing and acting.
