He-he-hello! My love affair with Party Girl continues in a review and essay for This Recording.
“A party thrown at the end of the second act turns disastrous for Mary who no longer has her library clerk job. Unlike her work in organizing Leo’s record collection, Mary’s party is another task to make rent. Inviting friends to DJ or Mustafa to sell his food is less a method of helping a friend succeed and more a means of making things better for herself. At 24, Mary’s growing sense of purpose feels familiar, but it is her quick emotional descent once that newly-found career path is taken from her that is disturbing in its truth.”
This is my favourite Parker Posey film.
Sweet. My fave Parker Posey is this outtake from Waiting for Guffman.
