On Tuesday evening, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter MacNicol hosted a special screening of Sophie’s Choice at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, presented by Lanvin, in celebration of the recent 40th anniversary of Alan J. Pakula’s seminal work.
“We’re a few of the only ones standing that made this film,” Streep said when introducing the movie alongside her co-stars. “There are a few still here: my hair and makeup artist, Jo. Roy Helland, and I believe my wardrobe woman, the great Alba Schipani. But the visionaries for Sophie’s Choice are not: the great writer William Styron, the beautiful soul that was Alan Pakula, and the master of light, Nestor Almendros, cinematographer, not here.”
MacNicol then shared a surprising anecdote about Almendros. “[He] was legally blind and wore eyeglasses that were as thick as Coke bottles,” the actor recalled. “I used to go up to the Thalia...

Greta Kline is sitting outside a coffee shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn, talking about her band, Frankie Cosmos, when she stops to document her meal. “I take a picture every time I eat food that’s completely tan,” she explains, angling her phone over an English muffin with butter, a combo that really appeals to her. “I have a really bad diet, and I think it’s funny.” Later, she’ll post the picture to her charming all-tan-food Instagram account, @tan_feed.

“The world is crumbling and I don’t have much to say,” sings Greta Kline, leader of the band Frankie Cosmos, on the band’s new album. It’s a striking admission in a time when everyone else seems to be playing pundit in their own teapot echo chamber. And despite specializing in gently drifty guitar-rock and singing with the kind of recessively reedy voice that usually implies a retreat into one’s interior biosphere, Klein isn’t an escapist, at least not always. “For what it’s worth,” she notes a couple songs later,...

Before her debut LP Zentropy — one of our favorite albums of last year — came out on Brooklyn micro-indie label Double Double Whammy, Greta Kline would release torrents of unpolished, sweetly melodic songs on Bandcamp — first as Ingrid Superstar, then as Frankie Cosmos, the name she still uses for what’s now a three-piece band. She processed her music quickly, almost automatically: write, record, upload, publish, forget. She didn’t think about who would hear it, or if anyone would hear it at all. "Two years ago, I would literally just write a song and record it directly into my computer, and then put it online and never listen to it again,” Kline tells Vulture over the phone from her apartment in New York, the city she still calls home when she gets time off the road. "Now it's more like, ‘When should we release it? How are we going...

Life's short and so are Frankie Cosmos's songs. Last year, Cosmos, whose real name is Greta Kline (she is Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates's daughter), released New York/Vulture's favorite album, Zentropy, a record of ten perfect pop songs that ran just over 17 minutes. Now she's taking it a step further, with her first single off her upcoming Fit Me In Ep, "Sand." Another deceptively simple, incredibly charming ditty, it runs just 49 seconds. Written at the beginning of spring, where the idea of being outside felt like a novel, exciting concept, the song works equally well now, at the dawn of fall. Listen below, and get ready to want to read a book in a pile of leaves.

Another year in the books, everyone! This week, Vulture will be publishing our critics' top-ten lists. Enjoy. 1. Frankie Cosmos, Zentropy Modern life is a shouting match. This isn’t exactly news, of course, but something about 2014 felt like a breaking point — the year society’s collective caps-lock button got jammed. In times like this, it seems as if the only ones we can trust are the lowercase people, like the humble but devastatingly sharp 20-year-old songwriter Greta Kline. A kind of teen-girl Ziggy Stardust, the Manhattan-bred Kline goes by the sardonically grand stage name Frankie Cosmos, and the ten songs on her first proper album, Zentropy (following years of self-recorded demos you can still peruse on her Bandcamp page), are highly articulate mumbles. When she plays live, she closes her squinted eyes tight, as if she were trying to disappear inside of herself; her drummer-boyfriend Aaron Maine (stage name: Ronnie Ronaldo,...
