Out of date, perhaps, but who wasn’t these days? Out of date, but loyal to his own time.

The scene is stunning in its portrayal of Hannah’s narcissism, but it also shows Dunham’s complete unawareness that her privilege lies in her ability to dramatize disease, starvation, and sexual degradation as forms of liberation.
