Nora Ephron at the Movies: Ilana Kaplan’s Deep Dive on What Made Ephron Great
Description
There are very few directors whose personality is so central to their work, and Nora Ephron is one of those directors. A multi-hyphenated powerhouse of creativity, Ephron’s films like Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail and Julie & Julia cemented her status as the epitome of a very specific–and cozy–mood that would in many ways define her legacy after her death in 2012. Of course, she was so much more than just a filmmaker–she was a prolific writer of nonfiction and fiction–her films have gone on to become little pieces of her personality that fans now watch to get that full Nora Ephron experience. And that’s why Ilana Kaplan’s new book ‘Nora Ephron at the Movies: A Visual Celebration of the Writer and Director Behind When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and More,’ is so, so special. Kaplan spoke with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about where her love for Ephron started, why Ephron mattered, and what impact her films had on the art of the romantic comedy.
