Supongamos que Nueva York es una ciudad

A love letter to New York from a critical perspective. These conversations between Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese, which continue the documentary "Public speaking" (HBO, 2010), reel off diverse topics with a sense of humor. You could say that it is a snobbish, old-fashioned and curmudgeon look, but that is precisely one of the virtues of Lebowitz's thoughts. And, above all, it is a chronicle of cultural life in a magical and dark city.

As an overseas visitor to NY for over 40 years I have loved the humour that you hear there when visiting. Fran Lebowitz has a brilliant way of describing NY and all it's travails Without doubt one the funniest clever and laconic delivery of lines by an individual. I loved Jackie Mason and his jewish influences in humour and Fran matches it all the way. Loads of laugh out loud moments and Martin Scorsese laughing with her is wonderful also. A joy and a must see!

Amazing dynamic between Marty and Fran! And Fran is probably the funniest person I know. I have never been in New York and that didn't take anything away for me.

We tend to give so much weight for the younger generation to share their philosophies and views on life and, for some reason, this has become the mainstream (especially with the social media era). More and more, we are seeing a movement towards being politically correct, polarization, self-righteousness, obsession about health and wealth. At some point, you know what to expect and hear from everyone.

This documentary is everything but that. I never came across Fran before this documentary, however, here she comes with a completely different perspective on life, which is very relevant and important for the younger generation. You can't help but admire her wisdom, wittiness and raw views that speaks directly to your inner thoughts, and sometimes heart! This documentary has zero cliches and will grow on you (episode by episode) and keep you grounded.

This is my first IMDB review!

I love this woman! Fran Lebowitz's astute observations are just the dose of medicine my millennial generation needs. She's so sharp and so entertaining to watch. I also get a kick out of seeing Martin Scorsese double over in belly laughs. Lebowitz has the gift of delivering her commentary shrewdly, but with a light-hearted tone that leaves you feeling upbeat and joyful. Pretend It's A City is a terrific start to the weekend.
