It’s not often in this business that you get to say somebody’s doing something genuinely original, but with only two narrative features under their belt, writer-director Jane Schoenbrun has staked out a unique vantage point in American cinema. The filmmaker, who will be honored this Saturday, May 11, with the Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation’s, interrogates not just the roles screens play in our lives but the roles we play while projecting ourselves onto them.
“I was a 20-minute walk from the Coolidge for at least a year of my life,” the filmmaker explained via a Zoom call from Chicago. “I remember going to my fair share of midnight movies there. I remember seeing ‘Zombie,’ the Italian film. It was early in my sophomore year and we all donned zombie makeup and dressed up. It’s one of my happiest memories of college, this festive outing to the Coolidge with my new gang of college friends in full zombie regalia.
