Elaine May: Comedy Genius

While watching her films, it’s challenging to comprehend how cinema overlooked one of the most talented artists of recent decades for such a long time. And yet, Elaine May has only gained prominence in recent years, often overshadowed by industry peers like her professional partner Mike Nichols and ’70s bigwigs such as Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. Timeless FF aims to rectify this oversight and presents May in all her glory – as a director, a gray eminence of American screenwriting, an accomplished stand-up, actress, and comedian.
