Description
Nominated for 8 Academy Awards® including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay
The Plot
She's everything. He's just Ken. This exclusive screenplay of the film phenomenon, now available in print for the first time, is anarchically hilarious and unexpectedly emotional: a magical cinematic confection of absurdity, heart and Technicolor musicals, made from the icon that is the Barbie doll. It celebrates the perfection of imperfection and affirms that everyone, even Allan, is Kenough.
Themes
At its core, Barbie is an examination of self-discovery and the celebration of imperfections. The screenplay deftly balances absurdity with emotional resonance, inviting readers to reflect on their own identities and the societal norms that shape them. Themes of friendship, love, and the importance of embracing one's true self resonate throughout the text, making it both relatable and thought-provoking.
Writing Style
Written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, the screenplay features sharp dialogue and richly drawn characters. The vibrant visuals described in the screenplay enhance the overall reading experience, bringing the whimsical world of Barbie and Ken to life. An exclusive introduction by Gerwig and Baumbach, along with 8 pages of full-colour photos from the film, enriches the context, offering insights into the creative process behind this unique story.
“Greta Gerwig’s bold and inventive Barbie breaks the mold.” – BBC Culture, on the film
