In Our Day.In the cinema, as elsewhere, the notion of “late style” has become a critical commonplace—shorthand for dealing with an artist’s “mature” work, particularly when said artists are dismissed or misunderstood after a period of acclaim. The problem with shorthand, of course, is that not everyone can read it, the result being that appeals to “late style” can come across as abdications of critical responsibility, promissory notes that have yet to be fulfilled. Such debts are in many cases eventually paid, obscure references to “late style” giving way to fuller, more perspicuous accounts of an artist’s achievement. Few would now dispute the considered analyses of how Howard Hawks, pivoting on the success of Rio Bravo (1959), made a deliberate move into the late-career languor of Hatari! (1962), Man’s Favorite Sport? (1964), and Red Line 7000 (1965). In the case of Hong Sang-soo, however, this critical due has yet to...

Werckmeister Harmonies released in the Criterion Collection on April 16th.
Béla Tarr is an auteur with a reputation befitting the Criterion Collection. The Hungarian filmmaker utilizes beautiful visuals — typically in black and white — and unsettling realism to explore the unpleasant truths of existence. It’s fitting that his first feature to receive a proper physical release in the Criterion Collection is 2000’s whimsical mystery The Werckmeister Harmonies. Even better, we get two for the price of one with the inclusion of his debut feature, Family Nest, included in the special features.
Werckmeister Harmonies Plot
A peculiar circus, consisting of a massive and mysterious whale, sets up shop in the center of a small town. As curious spectators flock to the unconventional attraction, a primal violence bubbles to the surface of the sleepy village.
The Critique
A spectator examines the mysterious whale.

The A24 and Showtime series is a satirical take on house-flipping and home improvement shows found on cable TV. Fielder and Emma Stone play a newly married couple, Asher and Whitney — likely inspired by Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s “Fixer-Upper” — who are the hosts of a house-flipping TV show.

The SAG-AFTRA strike, a wild card throughout the fall festival season, has created a closing stretch of the New York Film Festival unlike many (any?) of its 60 previous editions.
The final NYFF press conference this morning featured Ferrari cast members Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz and Gabriel Leone alongside writer-director Michael Mann discussing the Closing Night selection.
The presence of talent onstage at Walter Reade Theater, thanks to an interim agreement for publicity obtained by distributor Neon before the film’s August 31 world premiere in Venice, offered a welcome dose of the familiar. Not only was the stage picture a recognizable one, but the themes of the conversation all covered well-established terrain. Topics included the film’s production in Italy, Mann’s decades-long quest to get it made and the cast’s exhaustive research.
Cruz said her character, Laura Ferrari, “was even more involved [in the auto company] than we see here.

It’s not often prestigious organizations invite damnation, misfortune, or any kind of bad luck onto themselves — let alone their renowned festival and its thousands of guests — but for Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, exceptions will be made.
“The Curse” held its world premiere at the New York Film Festival Thursday night, with both co-creators in attendance for the first TV series to ever premiere at NYFF. Fielder, Safdie, and Emma Stone (who did not attend) executive produce and co-star in Showtime’s upcoming black comedy — about a trio of creatives behind an aspiring HGTV home-renovation series — which had audiences laughing and gasping throughout the three-hour screening.
Dennis Lim, the festival’s artistic director, did warn the crowd (as best he could) during his opening remarks.
“[‘The Curse’] is as brilliant, wild, perverse, hilarious, uncomfortable, and anxiety-inducing as you’d expect,” he said, alluding to Fielder and Safdie’s previous works.

Well there’s a first time for everything; and in the case of “The Curse,” it’s surprising that it’s the first TV series to be part of the premiere lineup for the New York Film Festival. But Variety reports that Nathan Fielder & Benny Safdie‘s show is the first to do so, and NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim couldn’t be happier about it.

Up until Thursday night, New York Film Festival had never once featured a TV show on its annual premiere lineup, so when Benny Safdie approached NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim with a new series he created alongside Nathan Fielder, the likelihood that it would get a big-screen premiere was low.
“[Benny] was like, ‘Why don’t you take a look and see what you think?'” Lim recalled at the series’ NYFF world premiere at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on Thursday night, where Safdie and Fielder were in attendance. “So he sent me three episodes, I watched them right away and I said, ‘I need to see more.’ By the time I got to Episode 5 or 6, I called Benny and said ‘We need to figure out how to make this work.'”
“This is one of the most exciting things I’ve seen this year,” Lim continued, just before...

Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi attended the North American premiere of Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” at the New York Film Festival on Friday night, where they sat down for a post-screening Q&a to discuss the biographical drama.
“I got really lucky to actually sit down with Priscilla herself and ask her all the questions I wanted to,” Spaeny explained to the audience, adding that their conversation helped her “know where I was trying to go and what I wanted to say throughout those years playing her.”
The production was completed on a tight deadline of 30 days, with producer Youree Henley emphasizing the team’s doubts that they could “make this in less than 35 days.”
Spaeny said the hair, makeup and costumes acted like her “anchor of where I was in the storylines.” “We shot it in 30 days and also out of order, so I’d be pregnant in the morning,...

Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” is the Centerpiece screening at the New York Film Festival. But Coppola unfortunately couldn’t make the movie’s press conference, TheWrap has confirmed. Instead, the filmmaker sent a note that read, in part: “I am with my mother, to whom this film is dedicated.”
Coppola’s note was read to the room by Youree Henley, one of the producers of “Priscilla” (with Coppola and Lorenzo Mieli). “Priscilla” stars Cailee Spaeny (who plays Priscilla) and Jacob Elordi (who plays Elvis Presley) were a part of the press conference, as the film has a waiver from SAG-AFTRA (as have most of the A24 movies in the awards conversation). It is an adaptation of Priscilla Presley’s 1985 biography, “Elvis and Me.”

Emma Stone stopped by New York Film Festival to make a surprise appearance at the premiere of “Bleat,” an unconventional short film by Yorgos Lanthimos.
Stone and Lanthimos just reunited on “Poor Things,” a Frankenstein-esque black comedy that’s received some of the best reviews of the year. But the ongoing SAG strike has prevented Stone from talking about the movie, which is backed by Searchlight, during stops at Venice or New York film festivals.
Since “Bleat” has secured an interim agreement, Stone was permitted to talk about the short film following Wednesday night’s screening at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. “Go SAG!” she cheered as she took the stage with Lanthimos. The two were lively and self-deprecating as the conversation, moderated by NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim, dug deep into “Bleat,” and only “Bleat.”

Andrew Haigh says that when it came to casting for All of Us Strangers, his romantic fantasy inspired by Taichi Yamada’s 1987 novel Strangers, it was important that his lead — played in the film by actor Andrew Scott — be gay.
The writer-director opened up about his approach to casting and talked about shooting the movie in his childhood home and capturing its intimacy scenes alongside editor Jonathan Alberts during a post-screening discussion at the New York Film Festival on Sunday. The film follows a gay man in London who, after having a chance encounter with his neighbor, develops a relationship with the man at the same time he begins convening with the ghosts of his dead parents during brief visits to his childhood home.
During the Q&a at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Haigh explained how he thought about casting for Adam, the quiet gay screenwriter at the center of his ghostly drama.

Plot: In 1987, a slasher known as the Sweet Sixteen Killer claimed the lives of three 16-year-old girls. When the killer returns in modern day, a young woman figures out a way to travel back to ‘87… where she hopes to stop the killing before it ever began.
Review: Working with director Christopher Landon, Blumhouse Productions has brought us a few really fun slasher-with-a-twist horror comedies in recent years: the time loop slasher Happy Death Day (and its sequel) and the body swap slasher Freaky.

Director Steve McQueen said his unusual four-hour Holocaust documentary shot in Amsterdam is rooted in his strong sense that “the past is present” in physical manifestations all around us, as well as a reminder to stay vigilant.
“It’s very cliche, but we have to not forget. Because see what’s happening now in the politics of the world…things are shifting to the right. And if anything, you know, your book, this film, hopefully can be a reminder of what’s at stake, and it’s freedom,” the director of 12 Years A Slave and upcoming Blitz said Sunday as the film screened at the New York Film Festival. The book refers to ‘Atlas of an Occupied City, Amsterdam 1940-1945’ by Bianca Stigter, McQueen’s wife, a filmmaker (Three Minutes: A Lengthening) and historian.

The 61st New York Film Festival opens Friday on a high note, with advance sales of passes and tickets at kickoff up 50% from last year, which was a record-breaking fest. It’s also a day of heavy rains and flooding in New York City.
“We have never seen [sales] numbers like this,” said artistic director Dennis Lim as the curtain is still planning to rise tonight at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall with Todd Haynes’ May December, followed by two weeks and 111 films from 45 countries.
The opening comes on a day where many subway lines are shuttered and NYC Mayor Eric Adams has declared a state of emergency, urging New Yorkers not to travel if possible. NYFF organizers says no changes so far to the opening-night schedule.
Staffers and talent arriving for a May December press conference reported that taxis were even more scarce than usual amid the rainfall.

“The unsettled state of the industry is an unavoidable talking point these days, but my hope is that our festival, as it has done through its 61-year history, will serve as a reminder that the art of cinema is in robust health,” said Dennis Lim, the New York Film Festival’s director of programing and chair of the main slate selection committee, in a statement last month accompanying the announcement of the titles that will screen as part of the 61st edition of the esteemed festival. From Hollywood’s double strike chaos, to worries about artificial intelligence, to the ongoing threat that streaming poses to the theatrical model—if there was ever a time when we needed that reminder, it’s now.

“The Killer” is setting a new target: the New York Film Festival.
IndieWire can confirm that David Fincher’s latest film is a surprise addition to the Spotlight Selection at NYFF 2023. “The Killer” will screen October 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Netflix-owned Paris Theater and October 15 at 8:45 p.m. at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center.
Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Alexis Nolent Aka Matz, the film’s logline reads: “After a fateful near-miss an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal.”

One day before its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Neon has started the promotional engine for Michael Mann’s “Ferrari.” The drama, the first feature Mann has directed since “Blackhat” in 2015, stars Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, the Italian racer and founder of the famed car brand.
Along with the first trailer for the film (see it below), Neon also released the official synopsis:
It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers’ passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia.

Michael Mann is enlisting Adam Driver to steer “Ferrari” into awards season.
The Ferrari family feature starring Driver as Enzo Ferrari and Penelope Cruz as his wife, Laura Ferrari, will debut at 2023 Venice Film Festival, followed by a North American premiere at NYFF.
The official synopsis reads, “Ferrari” is set during the summer of 1957. Ex-race car driver, Ferrari, is in crisis. Bankruptcy stalks the company he and his wife, Laura, built from nothing 10 years earlier. Their tempestuous marriage struggles with the mourning for one son and the acknowledgment of another. He decides to counter his losses by rolling the dice on one race – 1,000 miles across Italy, the iconic Mille Miglia.
Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gadon, Jack O’Connell, and Patrick Dempsey also star. “Ferrari” marks lead actor Driver’s second Italian based-on-a-true-story feature: The “Marriage Story” Oscar nominee appeared in Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci” based on the Gucci dynasty.

Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein film “Maestro” will have its North American premiere at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 2, the festival announced on Wednesday. The film – which Cooper co-wrote, directed and stars in – is the Spotlight Gala of the 61st NYFF and will screen at David Geffen Hall, following its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival later this month.
A Netflix original film, “Maestro” stars Cooper as the legendary composer and dramatizes his life and, especially, his relationship with his wife Felicia (played by Carey Mulligan).
It is unclear if Cooper or the rest of the cast will be in attendance, as he has already opted to skip the Venice premiere of “Maestro” in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA during the strike. Should the strike conclude before the October date, however, this could be a particularly buzzy screening.

Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro” and the 2023 edition of the New York Film Festival are officially two little ducks in a pond.
On Wednesday, Film at Lincoln Center announced “Maestro,” which Cooper co-wrote, co-produced, directed, and stars in as legendary conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein, will screen at this year’s 61st edition of the New York Film Festival as the spotlight gala presentation. “Maestro” joins a list of high-power fall releases in the lineup, including the opening night film “May December,” centerpiece screening “Priscilla,” and the closing night movie “Ferrari.”
But the “Maestro” screening, the film’s North American premiere after it debuts in Venice later this month, will certainly be a big deal. Set to take place on October 2 at David Geffen Hall on New York’s Upper West Side, the premiere screening will be the first of its kind at the venue.

Maestro, the Leonard Bernstein biopic starring and directed by Bradley Cooper, will have the Spotlight Gala slot at this fall’s 61st New York Film Festival.
The Netflix film’s North American premiere on October 2 will come a few weeks after its world premiere in Venice. Netflix and New York have had an active relationship in recent years, with recent editions of the festival including films like The Irishman, Marriage Story, White Noise, The Power of the Dog and Roma occupying tentpole slots.
Lincoln Center’s Geffen Hall, which reopened last year after a $550 million renovation, will host the premiere. The venue is home to the New York Philharmonic, of which Bernstein was the longtime conductor.
Maestro is Cooper’s directorial follow-up to A Star Is Born. Per the official logline, “Coasting on the boundless energy of its subject’s runaway genius, Maestro transports the viewer back to a vividly re-created postwar New York,...

It will be released to general audiences in the United States on Christmas Day.

We are honored to welcome him to the festival for what I’m sure will be a Closing Night for the ages.

The 61st New York Film Festival will be revved up with Michael Mann’s long-awaited film “Ferrari,” starring Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley and Patrick Dempsey, which will close out the festivities this year.
The film, about the former Formula One racer Enzo Ferrari’s motorsports glory in the late 1960s, is the first Michael Mann-directed film to be released since 2015’s “Blackhat,” and was recently acquired by Neon for release at Christmas in 2023.
“Michael Mann has made many remarkable movies but perhaps never one as simultaneously thrilling and moving as Ferrari,” said Dennis Lim, artistic director of the New York Film Festival. “Not just a feat of virtuosity, this is a grand and striking evolution of his career themes and his most deeply personal
work.”
