Hannah Takes the Stairs

Over the course of one hot post-graduate summer, Hannah (Greta Gerwig), falls precariously in and out of love. A breaker of hearts and chronically dissatisfied she finds herself drifting away from her newly unemployed boyfriend (Mark Duplass, THE PUFFY CHAIR) and drawn to two of her co-workers, Matt (Kent Osborne) and Paul (Andrew Bujalski, MUTUAL APPRECIATION). Conceived without a traditional script, this triumph of improvisional acting was born from intimate collaboration between director Joe Swanberg, and his cast, which is made up of some of todays most important up and coming independent filmmakers. Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious, and featuring stunning naturalistic performances, HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS is a delicate look at friendship, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness that heralds the return of a truly independent form of American moviemaking.

A movie made by hipsters about the only thing they know about - themselves.

111 seconds and it bored me more than 2 hours indie films. Great work.

I totally want to make one of these movies that starts out like a hipster mumblecore trustafarian whine fest. Then about halfway through Jason Vorhees shows up and murders them all in gory tom savini fashion.

Somebody with a good digital camrera hit me up and let's make this happen.

Films like these; original stories about real problems, portrayed in such a thoughtful and poignant way, they keep hollywood alive. They keep story alive. Check out the trailer to "The Lie" about a dejected father who fakes his daughter to death for sympathy. If that isn't originality in a state of cinema dominated by sequels, prequels and remakes, I don't know what is.
