"A visual celebration of the writer-director's distinctive approach to world-building." (Vanity Fair) Nora Ephron at the Movies offers an unfiltered look at Ephron as a champion of the rom-com and as a feminist Hollywood trailblazer. It explores her life and work by pairing detailed criticism with exclusive interviews with Ephron's key collaborators, including Andie MacDowell and Jenn Kaytin Robinson, to add color and nuance to her life and legacy. With her singular voice, Nora Ephron flourished as a dominant force in the entertainment industry, focusing on the idiosyncrasies of romance that were universally relatable. The women in her stories paralleled reality--the veil was lifted, the glossy sheen removed. Her protagonists share an unwavering sense of humor about life's mishaps, and they never take themselves too seriously--like Julie trying to master the art of cooking lobsters in Julie & Julia, Sally's theatrical fake orgasm in Katz's deli in When Harry Met Sally, or Rachel perfecting a key lime pie only to throw it in her cheating husband's face in Heartburn. Through that lens, she became emblematic of rom-coms, shifting and redefining conversations around the complexities of relationships and the women who have them.
