Description
We couldn't do a whole season about movie musicals without watching a Barbra vehicle. There are so many elements of 1968's FUNNY GIRL that elevate the form, from William Wyler's direction taking a stage show to the screen, and Streisand's performance as her character Fanny Brice evolves from fame-hungry teenager to worldly star and wife. We found a lot of nuance in the film's exploration of labor and gender dynamics, and can't help but watch this as a memetic piece of a puzzle with POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE, ALL THAT JAZZ, A STAR IS BORN, and countless explorations of insecure men struggling in romantic relationships with successful women.
