Movieline’s Frank Giamcomo writes and talks about the new Damsels in Distress music video:
Whit Stillman’s Damsels in Distress is about to get some additional international mileage thanks to the release of the official video for Victoria Aitken’s “Weekend Lover.” The video for the song — whic hit No. 10 on the U.K. dance charts and is now catching fire in Germany — is composed entirely of scenes from Stillman’s movie about a group of trend-setting women (led by Greta Gerwig) at a boorish East-coast college whose romantic entanglements upend their friendship and their lives. (“Weekend Lover” is featured on the soundtrack of Damsels in Distress, which was released on DVD at the end of July.)
Your father and I were classmates and I met you many years ago at a Harvard 1940 reunion – I am delighted you are back making films – I spent 35 years in U.S. Gov. films and TV and retired in 1994 – I have just finished a movie script – Would you care to read it ? Larry Washburn
