Fran Lebowitz has fun (despite herself) hanging out with Martin Scorsese, but the real drama comes in HBO’s engaging sports documentary ‘Tiger’
Why are Jews not allowed to eat bacon? Because it’s too delicious. That’s just one of the numerous witty thoughts of author Fran Lebowitz in her highly entertaining new Netflix documentary “Pretend It’s a City.”
For those who don’t know her, Lebowitz is a Jewish New Yorker straight from central casting: grouchy, erudite, funny and with an opinion on everything, particularly as it pertains to the Big Apple. (To my surprise, she was actually born in Morristown, New Jersey, in 1950 and only moved to Manhattan in the early 1970s.)
