For directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, filming It’s Kind of a Funny Story in Brooklyn was essential to the story. It was a choice many filmmakers before them made as well.
Sophie's Choice (1982) | Flatbush
Alan J. Pakula’s romance about the lives of three strangers colliding in Brooklyn in 1947 is, in many ways, a story of geography. Sophie (played in a Oscar-winning performance by Meryl Streep) comes from a Polish concentration camp; the aspiring writer Stingo (Peter MacNichol)––based on the novel’s author William Styron––is from the American South; and Nathan (Kevin Kline) emerges from a mysterious past. But Brooklyn is where they all find each other. The house that centers the film’s action actually exists in Flatbush, but was painted pink to match its title in the novel, the “Pink Palace.” Once finished, the house was repainted grey.
