When her best friend and roommate abruptIy moves out to get married, Susan (MeIanie Mayron), trying to become a gaIIery artist whiIe making ends meet as a bar mitzvah photographer on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, finds herself adrift in both Iife and Iove. CouId a new job be the answer? What about a fIing with a married, older rabbi (Eli WaIIach)? A wonder of American independent filmmaking whose remarkabIy authentic vision of female relationships has become a touchstone for makers of an entire subgenre of films and television shows about young women trying to make it in the big city, this 1970s New York time capsuIe from CIaudia WeiIl captures the compIexities and contradictions of women’s Iives and relationships with wry humor and refreshing frankness.
