1. The film ("20th Century Woman") was filmed on the same location as the film "Survival" (2006), starring Annette Bening in both films. 2. According to Mike Mills (the director of the film), the film is semi-autobiographical. The creation of several important characters in the film is based on Mike Mills' childhood experience. Annette Bening's character, in particular, is based in part on Mike's mother, and of course emphasizes Bening's self-interpretation of the character. 3. Annette Bening and Elle Fanning co-star in the play, both of whom also co-starred in the 2012 film Ginger and Rosa. 4. This movie is the second Elle Fanning has starred in with three generations of women. The first film to work with three generations of women was "About Thunder" in 2015. 5. This is the second film Greta Gerwig and Billy Crudup starred in in 2016, the first being "The First Lady" in 2016. I translate from imdb.

20th Century Women quotes

  • Jamie: I thought that was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, where she'd really tell me stuff. But maybe it was never really like that again. Maybe that was it.

    Dorothea: In March of 1999, I'll start to feel tired and confused. When I finally go to the doctor, he will say that the cancer in my lungs had already travelled to my breast and brain. I'll try to teach Jamie what to do with my stocks, but my instructions will be impossible to understand.

    Julie: Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

    Abbie: I will stay in Santa Barbara. In just two years, I'll marry Dave. A month after I get married Carlotta will die. A week later, Max will die too. I will work out of my garage and show in local galleries. Against my doctor's advice, I will get pregnant, and by the time I'm thirty I'll have two boys.

    William: I'll live with Dorothea for another year. Then I'll open a pottery store in Sedona Arizona. I will marry Laurie, a singer-songwriter. We'll get divorced in a year. Then I'll meet Sandy, we will marry, and I will continue to do my pottery.

    Jamie: My mom will meet Jim in 1983, they'll be a couple until she dies. On her birthday each year, he will buy her a trip on a biplane. Years after she's gone I'll finally get married and have a son. I'll try to explain to him what his grandmother was like - but it will be impossible.

  • Jamie: [to his mom] You know, when the firemen come... people don't usually invite them for dinner.
