"Go Radha!" Netflix has unveiled a trailer for The 40-Year-Old-Version, an excellent indie comedy that first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The film is the directorial debut of Radha Blank, a writer from New York, who also writes and produces and stars. Radha plays a version of herself, a down-on-her-luck NY playwright, who is desperate for a breakthrough before 40. Reinventing herself as rapper "RadhaMUSPrime", she moves between hip hop and theater in order to find her true voice. Winner of the Directing Prize at Sundance, the film is "a fresh addition to the New York City slice-of-life canon shot in lush B&W 35mm, Blank's film is an ode to the unfulfilled, and those whose adversity gives them a one-of-a-kind story to tell." Also starring Peter Kim, Oswin Benjamin, Imani Lewis, Haskiri Velazquez, Antonio Ortiz, TJ Atoms, Jacob Ming Trent, Stacey Sargeant, with Reed Birney. One of my faves from Sundance this year! A true discovery, she's a superbly original, vital new voice in cinema. Have a look. ›››
