Nick And Norahs Infinite Playlist ✦ Complete & Full

To watch Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist today is to engage in a sort of urban archaeology. This is not the Disney-fied, hyper-gentrified New York of the 2020s. This is the grimy, cheap, dangerous-for-a-teenager New York of the early aughts.

The characters drive a dilapidated Yugo through the Lincoln Tunnel. They walk through the Bowery without stepping over Lime scooters. They eat at a dive bar called the "B-Side." They end up in a 24-hour HIV/AIDS hospice (the film’s strangest and most tender detour) where a dying man requests a drum solo.

Sollett shoots the city like a character study. The long takes, the shaky handheld cameras, the grainy night vision—it feels like you are actually drunk at 3 AM, stumbling down St. Marks Place. This is a New York where a teenager could theoretically afford to live in a loft (Nick’s band practices in a garage) and where the coolest band in the world plays a secret set in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere (New Jersey).

It is a fantasy, of course. But it is a fantasy we desperately miss: the idea that the city is still a playground for the broke and the passionate.

A great rom-com lives or dies on its friends. Nick and Norah has one of the greatest ensembles of chaos agents ever assembled.

These characters aren't just comic relief. They are the obstacles and the engines. Without Caroline getting lost, Nick and Norah would have hooked up by midnight and the movie would be over. The chaos forces them to actually talk. nick and norahs infinite playlist

If you haven’t seen it, the plot is deceptively simple. Nick (Michael Cera), the bassist for a queercore band called The Jerkoffs (comprised of two gay black men who keep him around because he’s "cute"), has just been dumped by his emotionally abusive ex, Tris (Alexis Dziena). Norah (Kat Dennings) is Tris’s quiet, cynical classmate who pretends she doesn’t care but secretly carries a torch for the sensitive bassist.

Over the course of one night in New York City, they are thrown together. Nick is pining for Tris; Norah is pretending to have a boyfriend to impress Tris. In a moment of panic, Norah kisses Nick. The lie spirals. They embark on a desperate, sweaty quest to find the secret location of their favorite band, Where's Fluffy? These characters aren't just comic relief

What follows is not a love story. It is a recovery story. It is about two people who are so obsessed with the ghosts of their exes that they cannot see the perfect, awkward person standing right in front of them.
