Noah Bambauch the mumblecore king presides over new postmodern territory.Β
Don DeLilloβs βunfilmableβ gold standard pomo masterpiece βWhite Noiseβ has emerged from development hell to the hands of Noah Bambauch.
At first glance, he seems an unlikely steward to bring the classic book to life after its nearly 40 year gestation. Heβs known for his slice of life narratives with realistic characters speaking naturalistically. In other words, the polar opposite of the DeLillo novel. DeLillo speaks the language of the absurd and parodic. Bambauch speaks the language of New York apartment hunting and divorce lawyer contracts β real life things as they happen in real life.
But the sensibilities of DeLillo and Bambauch share some threads, woven together for a faithful adaptation. To wit, βWhite Noiseβ is fundamentally a story about a family. And Bambauch knows a thing or two about depicting a family on the big screen, having directed βMarriage Story,β βThe Squid and the Whaleβ and βThe Meyerowitz Stories.β
Bambauch spoke to the Knockturnal at the filmβs North American premiere kicking off the 60th New York Film Festival.
βIt is about a family,β said Bambauch. βThe gap between what we say and what we mean. What we say and what we feel. What we think about ourselves and who we really are. Those are things I’ve explored in a lot of my movies.β
βFamily mythologies are in a lot of my movies too,β he continued. βParents tell their children and children have to unlearn them later. In this case you have all of that. But then you also have family as a microcosm of the culture. You have that line: βFamily is the cradle of the worldβs misinformation.β You have Essentially the kids shouting facts and saying things we donβt know if they’re real or not. After a while you lose track wishing yourselves and you create your own facts. Thatβs something that is both true of a family and something we see is also true of the American culture at large.β
White Noise hits theaters Nov 25 and will be available for streaming on Netflix Dec 30. The film stars Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig and Don Cheadle who were all in attendance for the premiere.

Over the years, German fashion has slowly shed its image of being a deadly serious affair, with its often-somber silhouettes and straight-laced academic ideas, to something that is far more cutting edge, fun, and organic in character; exploring the bounds of beauty, wearability, and approachability. Berlin Fashion Week is the culmination of these ideas, with a week of celebration and shows.
