Description

Icons of Cinema: Greta Gerwig explores the career of one of the world's most celebrated movie directors.

Gerwig's storytelling is legendary, as is her ability to make women feel seen, but it was her directorial work on Barbie that made her a household name. Discover how Gerwig embraced her interest in theatre before turning her attention to Hollywood, explore her mumblecore films, understand why she focuses on key themes such as coming of age and female relationships, and take an in-depth look at her creative process for each major film.

Fully illustrated throughout with stunning photographs and movie stills, you'll find a chapter dedicated to each major motion picture. It's time to relive the stories of Lady Bird, Little Women and Barbie and discover what awaits with Gerwig's upcoming Narnia films.
