the interesting thing about having a blog is that you really only get to see just the teensiest bit of my life and interests. one thing that i very rarely write about, but that is a big part of my life, is film. i have always devoured movies of many genres, from old hollywood films that i watched over and over as a child, to the french new wave and political documentaries that took over my life in my early twenties, to just about everything in between! for years, going to the movies has been a weekly affair for me. so of course, when i found out that ari seth cohen of the advanced style blog was filming a documentary, you know i was first in line to watch it. fashion in film? sign me up!

i was able to wrangle myself an advanced copy of the documentary, so i took it with me on a visit with my grandparents so we could all watch it together. only seems fitting, right? i don’t want to say too much because i don’t want to spoil it for you, but i can easily say that it was a delightfully charming slice of life. besides the incredible characters he followed, i was struck by how new york the film was. i mean, really, where else could you live such a fabulous and colorful life? it honestly made me want to book a flight and head out just to experience it on my own.

it’s currently showing in nyc, but will be continuing to roll out across the country throughout the month. or if you live out in the boonies like me, you can pre-order a digital copy from the advanced style documentary website or on itunes.
