As always, the New York Film Festival was a mix of art films that may never see general release with a few star-laden commercial movies angling for awards.
It’s hard to pick favorites, but here are my top films from this year’s London Film Festival.
A captivating world-premiere recording of a work by the 21-year-old who would later conquer the operatic world with “Les Huguenots” and “L’Africaine.”
Cinema at its best is a a place where seemingly irresolvable conflicts can find, if not resolution, then some common ground.
“The Zone of Interest” is a cinematic embodiment of Hannah Arendt’s famous phrase “the banality of evil.”
Love and lightness (if often at intersections with death and faith) filtered through many of the songs in Nick Cave’s sonically naked “solo” concert.
“Mami Wata” beautifully cracks open a world Western eyes either blatantly ignore or seldom get to experience on screen.
The first of three review round-ups from this year’s London Film Festival’s excellent slate of films.
“Archive” sprung from Sofia Coppola’s desire to record what her mind’s organized chaos says about her and her films.
