CW: 1970s films
I was underwhelmed by Elaine May's film "Mikey and Nicky", though it's something of a cult favourite, so it took me a while to return to her work. I'm glad I did:
"A New Leaf" and "The Heartbreak Kid" are comedy gems, somehow both goofy and darkish, and filled with great performances – by Walter Matthau, May herself, Jeannie Berlin (May's daughter), Charles Grodin...
Well worth seeking out if you haven't seen them.

3 things about Elaine May’s A NEW LEAF [1971]
1. Two or three times a week.
2. “Marriage? You mean to a woman?”
“Yes, sir. That is what I had in mind. It’s the only way to acquire property without labor.”
3. Lost frond. -

I could watch this film again and again if I wasn’t so devastated afterwards, Elaine May’s existential and heartbreaking masterpiece about friendship and masculinity, Mikey and Nicky. I’m always in awe of her direction and the superb performances by long-time personal friends John Cassavetes and Peter Falk. The film was shot entirely at night and the grain is crazy, but this is New Hollywood, so we don’t care.

Anthea Sylbert, ‘Rosemary’s Baby,’ ‘Chinatown’ and ‘Carnal Knowledge’ Costume Designer, Dies at 84

“May had no technical knowledge of filmmaking and faced galling misogyny (“You don’t have to know about lenses, little girl”) from a mostly male crew that likely had never worked under a female director. (She faced it from Matthau, too.) But, as Courogen makes clear, the crew had likely also never experienced direction from someone like May. When the cinematographer told the actress Renée Taylor to confine her performance to a narrow space, May told Taylor, “Don’t listen to him. You go wherever you want to go, you do whatever you want to do. And the camera will find you.” May rehearsed little, instead using the shoot as a vehicle for experimentation.”
