Lena Dunham is back — and yes, this movie’s sort of about her too
Despite all the overlaps and similarities between her characters and her actual life, Dunham bristles at the idea that she has to constantly distinguish fact from fantasy in her work, a burden that she says is exclusive to women. “This is something that happens in a way that is unique to female creators, which is, people decide that they are the same person as their character,” she says via Zoom from L.A.’s famed Sunset Tower hotel.
It’s always funny to me when people make value judgments about what characters in movies are doing, because I’m like, “You know they are characters in a movie, right? We’re allowed to enjoy this.

So, we did a general meet. She’s as delightful as you’d imagine. But she said to me, “There’s a picture on the wall behind you with a four. That’s not a lucky number. Maybe you should move it.” And it was stuck to the wall.
