Adam Driver heartily embodies Jack Gladney, an ostentatious \u201cHitler Studies\u201d professor and father of four whose comfortable suburban college town life and marriage to the secretive Babette (Greta Gerwig, perfectly donning a blonde mop of \u201cimportant hair\u201d) are upended after a horrifying nearby accident creates an airborne toxic event of frightening and unknowable proportions. In a tightrope walk of comedy and horror, Baumbach captures the essence of DeLillo\u2019s cacophonous pop-philosophical nightmare on unbounded consumerism, ecological catastrophe, and the American obsession with death. Impeccably matching DeLillo\u2019s and Baumbach\u2019s similarly percussive form of stylized dialogue, <i>White Noise<\/i> is wonderfully abrasive and awe-inspiring, a precisely mounted period piece entirely befitting our modern, through-the-looking-glass pandemic reality. A Netflix release. Campari\u00ae is the presenting partner of Opening Night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN\">Centerpiece<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\">All the Beauty and the Bloodshed<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><span lang=\"EN\">Laura Poitras, 2022, U.S., 116m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span>In her essential, urgent, and arrestingly structured new documentary, Academy Award\u00ae\u2013winning filmmaker Laura Poitras (<i>Citizenfour<\/i>) weaves two narratives: the fabled life and career of era-defining artist Nan Goldin and the downfall of the Sackler family, the pharmaceutical dynasty greatly responsible for the opioid epidemic\u2019s unfathomable death toll. Following her own personal struggle with opioid addiction, Goldin, who rose from the New York \u201cNo Wave\u201d underground to become one of the great photographers of the late 20th century, put herself at the forefront of the battle against the Sacklers, both as an activist at art institutions around the world that had accepted millions from the family and as an advocate for the de-stigmatization of drug addiction. Illustrated with a rich trove of photographs by Goldin, who mesmerizingly narrates her own story, including her dysfunctional suburban upbringing, the loss of her teenage sister, and her community\u2019s fight against AIDS in the eighties, Poitras\u2019s film is an enthralling, empowering work that stirringly connects personal tragedy, political awareness, and artistic expression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b><span lang=\"EN\">Closing Night<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN\">The Inspection<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN\">Elegance Bratton, 2022, U.S., 93m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b>U.S. Premiere<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>Known for his affecting and dynamic documentary <i>Pier Kids<\/i>, about homeless queer and transgender youth in New York, and the <i>Viceland<\/i> series<i> My House,<\/i> on underground competitive ballroom dancing, filmmaker and photographer Elegance Bratton has made his ambitious narrative debut, a knockout drama based on his own experiences as a gay man in Marine Corps basic training following a decade of living on the streets. In a breathtaking first cinematic starring role, Tony and Emmy\u2013nominated actor Jeremy Pope is run through an emotional and physical gauntlet as a young man dealing with the intimidation of a sadistic sergeant (Bokeem Woodbine), his desire for a sympathetic superior (Ra\u00fal Castillo), and his complicated feelings toward the mother who rejected him (a revelatory Gabrielle Union). Bratton\u2019s film is a nuanced portrait of American masculinity and evocation of the military during the \u201cDon\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell\u201d era, as well as a forceful, electric work of autobiography. An A24 release.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN\">NYFF 60th Anniversary Celebration<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN\">Armageddon Time<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b>James Gray, 2022, U.S., 114m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>The most personal film yet from James Gray (<i>The Immigrant, The Lost City of Z<\/i>) is also one of his greatest, an exquisitely detailed and deeply emotional etching of a time and place: Queens, 1980. Set against the backdrop of a country on the cusp of ominous sociopolitical change, <i>Armageddon Time<\/i>follows Paul Graff (Banks Repeta), a sixth grader who dreams of becoming an artist. At the same time that Paul builds a friendship with classmate Johnny (Jaylin Webb), who\u2019s mercilessly targeted by their racist teacher, he finds himself increasingly at odds with his parents (Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway), for whom financial success and assimilation are key to the family\u2019s Jewish-American identity. Paul feels on firmest ground with his kind grandfather (a marvelous Anthony Hopkins), whose life experiences have granted him a weathered compassion. Rejecting easy nostalgia for a more difficult, painful form of recall, Gray\u2019s film\u2014shot with intimate naturalism by Darius Khondji\u2014is a perceptive and humane coming-of-age story that does what only cinema can do, elevating the smallest moments into the greatest drama. A Focus Features release.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN\">Aftersun<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN\">Charlotte Wells, 2022, U.K., 98m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span>In one of the most assured and spellbinding feature debuts in years, Scottish director Charlotte Wells has fashioned a textured memory piece inspired by her relationship with her dad, taking place over the course of a brooding weekend at a coastal resort in Turkey. The charismatic Paul Mescal and naturalistic newcomer Francesca Corio fully inhabit Calum and Sophie, a divorced father and his daughter often mistaken for brother and sister, who share a close and loving bond that creates an entire world unto itself. Wells employs an unusual and gorgeous aesthetic that brings us into the interior space of this parent and child, even as she judiciously withholds details, an approach that finally grants the film a singular emotional wallop. <i>Aftersun<\/i> reimagines the coming-of-age narrative as a poignant, ultimately ungraspable chimera, informed by the present as much as the past. Winner of the French Touch Prize of the Jury at this year\u2019s Cannes Festival.

The Sol\u00e9 clan live in a small village, annually harvesting peaches for local business and export. However, their livelihood is put in jeopardy by the looming threat of the construction of solar panels, which would necessitate the destruction of their orchard. From this simple narrative, pitting agricultural tradition against the onrushing train of modern progress, Sim\u00f3n weaves a marvelously textured film that moves to the unpredictable rhythms and caprices of nature and family life. A MUBI release.<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN\">All That Breathes<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN\">Shaunak Sen, 2022, India\/U.K.\/USA, 94m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN\">Hindi with English subtitles<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span>High above bustling New Delhi, birds of prey known as black kites have for years routinely been falling from the skies due to injuries sustained from pollution or <i>manja<\/i>, the dangerous cotton threads of paper kites that slice through their wings. For decades, brothers Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad\u2014who believe in the interconnectedness of human and animal life\u2014have taken it upon themselves to save the birds, which the general city population largely sees as nuisances despite their essential role in the city\u2019s ecosystem. In his hypnotic, poignant, and beautifully crafted documentary, New Delhi\u2013based filmmaker Shaunak Sen immerses himself with Saud and Shehzad for a portrayal of their struggle to make change that doubles as a diagnosis of a city rocked by turmoil. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary (World Cinema) at Sundance and the L&#8217;OEil d&#8217;or for Best Documentary at Cannes.

Marie Kreutzer boldly imagines Elizabeth\u2019s cloistered, late-19th-century world within the Austro-Hungarian Empire with both austere realism and fanciful anachronism, while staying true and intensely close to the woman\u2019s private melancholy and political struggle amidst a crumbling, combative marriage and escalating scrutiny. Star and director have together created a remarkable vision of a strong-willed political figure whose emergence from a veiled, corseted existence stands for a Europe on the cusp of major, irrevocable transformation.

They were husband and wife for 48 years, had 13 children, and she outlived him by nine years. Yet their relationship, among the most discussed and written about in literary history, was anything but harmonious, as Sophia, an artist in her own right\u2014a photographer, memoirist, and editor\u2014was constantly forced to negotiate her happiness with her husband\u2019s infidelities. Inspired by Sophia\u2019s story, legendary American documentarian Frederick Wiseman has made a film based on Sophia\u2019s diaries and letters from Leo to Sophia, structured as a series of monologues delivered with magnificent poise and gathering intensity by star and co-writer Nathalie Boutefeu, pillowed by graceful images of natural beauty from the film\u2019s bucolic French setting. Wiseman\u2019s captivating one-woman portrait presents a remarkably contemporary rendering of a marriage.

More transfixing than clinical, the film, shot in hospitals in and around Paris, eschews the normal narrative parameters for medical documentation in favor of a rigorously detached, expressionistic look at our tactile yet essentially unknowable flesh and viscera. With its unshakable images of biopsies, cesarean delivery, endoscopic procedures, and the little-seen crevices inside all of us,<i> De Humani Corporis Fabrica<\/i> both demystifies and celebrates life and death.

Upon discovering photos of his abused wife, a Chinese national named Seo-rae (Tang Wei), Hae-joon begins to suspect it wasn\u2019t an accident, all the while becoming emotionally and erotically drawn to her. From this Hitchcockian situation, director Park Chan-wook (<i>Oldboy<\/i>) weaves a swelling, expanding, ever more complex tale about a possible black widow and the investigator who just might be fashioning his own web. One of Park\u2019s most enveloping and accomplished thrillers, which earned him the Best Director award at this year\u2019s Cannes Film Festival, <i>Decision to Leave<\/i> is a constantly surprising, elegantly constructed film that builds in power to a truly haunting denouement.

Freed in 1865, yet unable to return to their homeland, the survivors founded Africatown\u2014a testament to their strength which persists today despite the town\u2019s governmental neglect and economic disparity. This long submerged history symbolizes a nation\u2019s forgotten atrocities in this poignant and cathartic documentary from nonfiction veteran Margaret Brown (<i>The Order of Myths<\/i>). Reckoning with the legacy of this history and giving voice to the descendants of these enslaved people, Brown\u2019s intricately drawn film tells an urgent tale of community revitalization, environmental action, and racial justice.

When she\u2019s not tending to the moss-covered stone cottage in which she lodges, her central preoccupation is a cluster of wildflowers at cliff\u2019s edge, their subtle changes noted in a daily ledger. Yet she\u2019s also increasingly haunted by her own nightmarish visitations, which seem both summoned from her own past and brought up from the very soil and ceremonial history of this mysterious place. Shot on enveloping, period-evocative 16mm, this eerie, texturally rich experience from Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin conjures works of classic British folk horror but remains its own strange being, a genuine transmission from a weird other world.

After being removed from the only life he\u2019s ever known in a traveling circus, EO begins a journey across the Polish and Italian countryside, experiencing cruelty and kindness, captivity and freedom. Skolimowski imagines the animal\u2019s mesmerizing journey as an ever-shifting interior landscape, marked by absurdity and warmth in equal measure, putting the viewer in the unique perspective of the protagonist.

An ominously brusque clerk, an apparent lack of other guests, and disturbing sounds from the room above theirs bode a less-than-welcome arrival. Yet all is not what it seems on this increasingly emotional trip into the past for these two women, one of whom has definitely been here before. Joanna Hogg (<i>The Souvenir<\/i>), among today\u2019s foremost filmmakers, uses this Victorian gothic scenario for an entirely surprising, impeccably crafted, and, finally, overwhelming excavation of a parent-child relationship and the impulse toward artistic creation. And Tilda Swinton, in a performance of rich, endless surprise, turns in one of the most remarkable acting feats in her astonishing career.

An enclosed, scrupulously run world of its own, Gracewood has been in the Haverhill family for generations, and Norma trusts no one other than Narvel to continue its traditions. However, a threat of change is harkened by the arrival of Norma\u2019s troubled grand-niece, Maya (Quintessa Swindell), whose presence sets off a chain reaction of events that catalyze Narvel into coming to terms with his own shocking past.

Now, as the international film community vehemently denounces Panahi\u2019s summer 2022 arrest, this time for his vocal support of a fellow artist\u2019s independence, he has gifted us all with a new film, and it\u2019s another virtuosic sleight of hand. In <i>No Bears,<\/i> as in many of his recent titles, he centers himself, having relocated temporarily to a rural border town to remotely oversee the making of a new film in Tehran, the story of which comes to sharply mirror disturbing events that begin to occur around him. In these parallel yet cross-hatching narratives, Panahi keeps pulling the narrative rug out from under the viewer as he confronts tradition and progress, city and country, spiritual belief and photographic evidence, and the human desire to escape from oppression.<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN\">The Novelist\u2019s Film<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN\">Hong Sangsoo, 2022, South Korea, 92m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN\">Korean with English subtitles<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN\">North American Premiere<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span>For his playful and gently thought-provoking 27th feature, Hong Sangsoo takes on the perspective of a prickly middle-aged novelist, Junhee (Lee Hyeyoung, the magnetic star of Hong\u2019s <i>In Front of Your Face<\/i>). After revisiting an old friend who now runs a bookshop outside of Seoul, she embarks on a restorative journey that leads her to a chance encounter with a famous actress and former movie star (Kim Minhee); the two make an instant connection that stokes both women\u2019s dormant creative impulses.

Her father (Pascal Greggory), rapidly deteriorating from a neurological illness, will soon require facility care, and her new lover (Melvil Poupaud) is a married dad whose unavailability only seems to draw her nearer to him, despite\u2014or because of\u2014the fact that she\u2019s going through an overwhelming time in her life. Hansen-L\u00f8ve, so finely observant of the small nuances of human interaction, creates, in harmonious concert with a magnificent Seydoux, a complicated portrait of a woman torn between romantic desire and familial tragedy that is a marvel of emotional and formal economy.

Serra\u2019s gripping, atmospheric thriller is a slow-building fever dream that lulls before catching us by surprise with the depths of its darkness, a film that allows its incisive social commentary about the remnants of colonialism to surface through quiet observation and aesthetic audacity.

Matthias (a glowering Marin Grigore) has returned to the village after an altercation at his job in a German slaughterhouse, only to find that his estranged wife has grown more distant and his young son has stopped talking after witnessing something disturbing in the forest near their home. Meanwhile his former lover, Csila (Judith State), with whom he hopes to rekindle an affair, has become involved in an escalating controversy when her local bread factory hires Sri Lankan migrants. These strands converge in increasing combustibility, building to an unsettling climax and a bravura town hall sequence that ranks with Mungiu\u2019s best work.

From this seemingly simple premise, Cambodian-French filmmaker Davy Chou spins an unpredictable, careering narrative that takes place over the course of several years, always staying close on the roving heels of its impetuous protagonist, who moves to her own turbulent rhythms (as does the galvanizing Park, a singular new screen presence). Chou elegantly creates probing psychological portraiture from a character whose feelings of unbelonging have kept her at an emotional distance from nearly everyone in her life; it\u2019s an enormously moving film made with verve, sensitivity, and boundless energy.

Rama\u2019s plan to write about Laurence in a book inspired by the Medea myth increasingly unravels as she becomes overwhelmed by the case, and reckons with memories of her immigrant mother as well as her own impending motherhood. In her consummate fiction feature debut, Alice Diop (<i>We<\/i>) constructs an arresting yet highly sensitive, superbly acted film of constantly revealing layers. <i>Saint Omer<\/i> is at once a tense courtroom drama, a work of abstracted psychological portraiture, an inquiry into human agency, and a provocative examination of the limits of myth and cross-cultural knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN\">Scarlet<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN\">Pietro Marcello, 2022, France\/Italy\/Germany, 103m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN\">French with English subtitles<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN\">North American Premiere<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span>Pietro Marcello, one of contemporary cinema\u2019s most versatile talents, follows his dramatic breakthrough <i>Martin Eden<\/i> with an enchanting period fable based on a beloved 1923 novel by Russian writer Alexander Grin. Beginning as the tale of a sensitive brute (R\u00e4phael Terry) who returns home from World War I to his rural French village to discover his wife has died and that he must take care of their baby daughter, Juliette, the film blossoms into a pastoral portrait of Juliette as a free-spirited young woman (Juliette Jouan) reckoning with a local witch\u2019s prophecy for her future and falling for the modern man (Louis Garrel) who literally drops from the sky. In his first film made in France, Marcello proves again he is as comfortable in the realm of folklore as he is in creative nonfiction, delicately interweaving realist drama, ethereal romance, and musical flights of fancy.<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN\">Showing Up<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN\">Kelly Reichardt, 2022, U.S., 108m<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN\">North American Premiere<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span>Continuing one of the richest collaborations in modern American cinema, director Kelly Reichardt (<i>Certain Women<\/i>) reunites with star Michelle Williams for this marvelously particularized portrait of a sculptor\u2019s daily work and frustrations in an artists\u2019 enclave in Portland. Lizzy (Williams) struggles to put the finishing touches on her latest pieces for a gallery show, all the while juggling admin work at the local art school; dealing with the neglect of her well-meaning landlord (a funny and nuanced Hong Chau), who also happens to be a rising-star conceptual artist; and tending to the emotional wellbeing of her increasingly fragmented family. Christopher Blauvelt\u2019s patient camerawork, Reichardt\u2019s precise cutting, and Williams\u2019s physically transformative performance coalesce to create something remarkable in <i>Showing Up<\/i>, a delicately humorous drama of the experience of being a creative person that avoids all clich\u00e9s that plague films about artists.
