"White Noise" is a novel by Don DeLillo, published in 1985, and adapted into a film directed by Noah Baumbach in 2022. The story follows Jack Gladney, a professor of Hitler studies at the fictional College-on-the-Hill, his wife Babette, and their blended family of four children.
The narrative is divided into three parts, exploring themes of death anxiety, consumerism, media saturation, and family dynamics in contemporary American society.
The plot centers around an "Airborne Toxic Event" that forces the town to evacuate, serving as a catalyst for the characters to confront their fears and relationships. The 2022 film adaptation, starring Adam Driver as Jack and Greta Gerwig as Babette, largely follows the novel's plot while adding visual interpretations of the "white noise" concept. "White Noise" invites viewers to grapple with existential questions while offering a darkly humorous portrayal of a family attempting to navigate an increasingly chaotic and uncertain world.
