Barbie: The Screenplay

By Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach.

Published by Faber & Faber.

Published 2023.

ISBN-10: 0571390137

ISBN-13: 9780571390137

Description:

"A riotously entertaining candy-colored feminist fable." – Guardian.

"A near-miraculous achievement." – Independent.

"Painfully funny." – Empire.

"Greta Gerwig's bold and inventive Barbie breaks the mold." – BBC Culture.

"Brilliant, beautiful, and fun as hell." – The New Yorker.

Nominated for 8 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.

She's everything. He's just Ken. The exclusive screenplay of the film phenomenon by Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach.

Featuring an exclusive introduction by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach and 8 pages of full-color photos from the film.

For the first time, the BARBIE screenplay is now available in print. Anarchically hilarious and unexpectedly emotional, BARBIE is a magical cinematic confection of absurdity, heart, and Technicolor musicals. Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have created a deeply personal and idiosyncratic film from the icon that is the Barbie doll. The movie celebrates the perfection of imperfection, and affirms that everyone, even Allan, is Kenough.

Henry David Thoreau, on books:

Books are the carriers of civilization.

Without books, history is silent.
