October 9 brings with it the global release of Radha Blank‘s ‘The Forty-Year-Old Version’ on Netflix.
A contemporary coming of age story, the film follows New York based playwright Radha.
With her 40th birthday around the corner, societal pressures, benchmarks, and success markers weigh on her spirit and light a match within to reinvent.
In pursuit of her “last big shot,” Radha glides between the worlds of theater and Hip-Hop in hopes of volumizing her truest voice.
The film earned Blank theU.S. Dramatic Competition Directing Award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival – and deservingly so.
