When 30-something Jesse returns to his alma mater for a professor's retirement party, he falls for Zibby, a college student, and is faced with a powerful attraction that springs up between them.
Liberal Arts is a comedy-drama film. The film is the second film directed by, written by, and starring Josh Radnor. The film is about a 35 year-old named Jesse (Radnor) who has a romantic relationship with Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), a 19-year-old college student.[1] The film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2012.
The film follows a 35 year-old (Radnor), still yearning for the life of a college student, who must come to terms with his age and responsibilities. Olsen plays a 19-year-old college student who falls for Radnor’s character over a shared love of music and literature. She wants to make it work with the man but her immaturity makes it impossible for her to see the obvious obstacles. Radnor has some genuine charm so his presence on the big screen is warmly welcomed, and while I can't speak for Olsen's talents having missed Martha Marcy May Marlene (her most buzzed about performance at Sundance), word on the street is the girl has talent. After all she also snagged a role in Red Lights, the next film from Buried director Rodrigo Cortés. We'll find out soon enough. Interested?
