...authors had to overcome a gap of their own: Lancaster, 44, is a sage Boomer, while Stillman, 33, is a spirited Xer.

...Jean-Luc Godard is a mere 70, but he has been playing the role of the crotchety hermit-sage for decades. His Elogie de l'amour (In Praise of Love) is in two parts - the first, in black-and-white, a notebook of visual and verbal provocations. ("The question isn't whether man will survive but whether he deserves to.")
