Venice 71: Film Festival –
She’s Funny That Way – Peter Bogdanovich. She’s Funny That Way directed by
Peter Bogdanovich, stars Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Jennifer
Aniston, Rhys Ifans, and Kathryn Hahn. Young Hollywood starlet Isabella Patterson recalls how the
actions of a charming Broadway director, Arnold Albertson, changed her life
forever. As told to a reporter in a not-so-reliable recollection of events, the
Brooklyn-born former escort reminisces about how a rendezvous with the director
turned into a larger-than-expected sum of money and an offer she couldn’t
refuse. Like a cockeyed fairy tale, a chain of events affecting the lives of
everyone involved, including Arnold’s wife Delta, leading man Seth Gilbert,
playwright Joshua Fleet and even Isabella’s therapist Jane ensues.
