Alice Wu on 'Frances Ha' & 'Broadcast News'
Update: 2025-09-18
Description
When Alice Wu directs a film, she really means it. Both SAVING FACE and THE HALF OF IT, released decades apart, made a big splash on the independent cinema scene. Now SAVING FACE has been added to the Criterion Collection. Alice tells Jordan about creating a patchwork of identity across various movie characters -- specifically the romantic searcher Frances from FRANCES HA and the too-smart-for-her-own-good Jane from BROADCAST NEWS.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the legacy of Robert Redford.
Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.
