Director Noah Baumbach can remember when he fell in love with his craft. He was filming White Noise, based on the Don DeLillo novel, on a deserted Ohio highway at four o’clock. I am With the rain machine.” He remembers thinking, “Oh my God, I don’t know that I like doing that.” “Am I doing this” – Filmmaking – “just because I’m doing it?” He channeled that concern into his new film, “Jay Kelly,” a Hollywood comedy of manners starring George Clooney as a hugely famous movie star who suddenly wonders whether it’s all worth it, and why people keep offering him cheesecake. In October, Baumbach spoke with The New Yorker Features editor Suzanne Morrison at the New Yorker Film Festival on working with wife Greta Gerwig on Barbie, and why the first lines of his films can tell you everything.
