Films and TV shows that feel like Brooklyn Baby by Lana Del Rey
A languid, dreamy longing for cool, bohemian coolness mixed with self‑aware sarcasm.
- Frances Ha (2013): Follows a quirky Brooklyn artist navigating love and ambition with the same off‑beat, wistful coolness.
- Girls (2012): HBO’s look at twenty‑something creatives in Williamsburg captures the same self‑conscious, indie‑hipster vibe.
- The Last Days of Disco (1998): A stylish, tongue‑in‑cheek portrait of New York’s late‑80s/early‑90s club scene that mirrors the song’s retro‑cool swagger.
- Garden State (2004): Indie‑rock soundtrack and off‑beat romance set in a New Jersey/NY backdrop echo the song’s dreamy melancholy.
- High Maintenance (2012): Anthology series about a weed‑dealer wandering Brooklyn’s eclectic neighborhoods; its tone is laid‑back and observational.
- The Virgin Suicides (2000): Sofia Coppola’s dreamy, nostalgic take on suburban adolescence matches the song’s hazy, romanticized vibe.
- Big Little Lies (2017): Though set in Monterey, its chic, slightly pretentious characters and lush cinematography feel akin to Lana’s cultivated aesthetic.
