Directed by Martin Scorsese and produced by documentary producer and Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, along with Margaret Bodde, Public Speaking captures the essence of legendary New York bestselling writer Fran Lebowitz, who is perhaps most known for her unique take on modern life.
The film weaves together monologues, as well as footage from several of Lebowitz's speaking engagements, along with archival footage of Lebowitz from the 1970s to today which, showcases not only Lebowitz's unconventional worldview and experiences, but also shines a spotlight on her trademark.
