‘True love will find you in the end,’ sings Daniel Johnston on the soundtrack of Playlist. And true love is exactly what 28-year-old Sophie is looking for. But it helps if the men are willing are a little more helpful.
Playlist tells the coming-of-age story of Sophie, a woman in her late twenties struggling with her career, love life, and bedbugs. Nevertheless, she keeps moving forward with optimism and learns not to let her happiness depend on others. A charming twist on the romantic comedy genre, the film portrays the millennial experience in Paris.
Director Nine Antico has a background as a comic book artist, and that influence is clearly visible in this black-and-white film (often compared to Noah Baumbach’s Frances Ha), in which every frame and composition has been carefully considered.
