'The Forty-Year-Old Version' is about getting older and finding yourself
View Date:2024-12-23 18:54:05
In the wonderful film The Forty-Year-Old Version, playwright Radha Blank plays a variation on herself. Frustrated by a stall in her theater career, Radha finds a new passion: she becomes a rapper. The film is so good that we recently added it to the New Black Film Canon – a list of the best films by Black directors that we updated in partnership with Slate. And you can watch it on Netflix.
Lauren Landau Einhorn produced the encore version of this episode.
