Noah Baumbach Fell (Back) in Love with the Movies

The opening of Noah Baumbach’s new movie, “Jay Kelly,” has his leading man, George Clooney, wrapping a scene in what appears to be a crime drama. “I don’t want to be here anymore,” Clooney says, slumped and bleeding from a bullet wound. “I want to leave this party.” Despite the whiff of farewell, Baumbach, with thirteen films and two recent career-spanning tributes to his credit, says that he’s renewed his vows with the movies.
