Here, she will be doing intimate research for a new part, ingratiating herself into the lives of Gracie (Julianne Moore), whom she\u2019ll be playing on-screen, and her much younger husband, Joe (Charles Melton), to better understand the psychology and circumstances that more than 20 years ago made them notorious tabloid figures. As Elizabeth attempts to get closer to the family, the uncomfortable facts of their scandal unfurl, causing difficult, long-dormant emotions to resurface.<\/p>\n<p>From the sensational premise of first time screenwriter Samy Burch\u2019s brilliantly subtle script, director Todd Haynes (&#8220;<strong><i>Safe<\/i><\/strong>,&#8221; &#8220;<i><strong>Carol<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i>) has constructed an American tale of astonishing richness and depth, which touches the pressure and pleasure points of a culture obsessed equally with celebrity and trauma. It\u2019s a feat of storytelling and pinpoint-precise tone that is shrewd in its wicked embrace of melodrama while also genuinely moving in its humane treatment of tricky subject matter. Boasting a trio of bravura, mercurial performances by Moore, Portman, and Melton, &#8220;<i><strong>May December<\/strong>&#8221;\u00a0<\/i>is a film about human exploitation, the elusive nature of performance, and the slipperiness of truth that confirms Todd Haynes\u2019s status as one of our consummate movie artists. The film will be released domestically, in theaters November 17 and on Netflix December 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are all so proud and moved to have been invited to open the New York Film Festival with the North American premiere of <strong><i>May December<\/i><\/strong>,\u201d said director Todd Haynes. \u201cIt is a festival that plays a role in my work and life like no other in the world, since it enshrines the cultural life of this city, which is both my creative home as a filmmaker and, as ever, the eternal site of artistic possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201c<strong>May December<\/strong><\/i> is a tour de force of writing, acting, and directing: a film built on moment-to-moment surprise, as thought-provoking as it is purely pleasurable,\u201d said Dennis Lim, Artistic Director, New York Film Festival. \u201cIt cements Todd Haynes\u2019s place as one of American cinema\u2019s most brilliant mischief-makers and as an all-time great director of actors. Todd has been a consistent presence at the New York Film Festival for almost his entire career, and we are very excited to open this edition with one of his most dazzling achievements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Passionate about the visual arts since childhood, Todd Haynes studied art and semiotics at Brown University. In 1987, he created the short film, &#8220;<i><strong>Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story<\/strong>&#8221;\u00a0<\/i>with Barbie dolls. Since then, he has tirelessly continued to address questions of gender and identity. His first feature film &#8220;<strong><i>Poison<\/i><\/strong>,&#8221; \u00a0inspired by Jean Genet, won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and was released in 1991. After &#8220;<i><strong>Safe<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i> (1995), starring Julianne Moore, he conjured David Bowie during the Ziggy Stardust period in &#8220;<i><strong>Velvet Goldmine<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i> (NYFF36), then paid homage to Douglas Sirk in &#8220;<i><strong>Far from Heaven<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i> (2002). In 2006, he had six actors play Bob Dylan in &#8220;<i><strong>I\u2019m Not There<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i>(NYFF45). He then directed the HBO mini-series &#8220;<i><strong>Mildred Pierce<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i> before returning to feature films with &#8220;<i><strong>Carol<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i>(NYFF53), &#8220;<i><strong>Wonderstruck<\/strong>&#8221;\u00a0<\/i>(NYFF55 Centerpiece Selection), &#8220;<strong><i>Dark Waters<\/i><\/strong>,&#8221; and the documentary &#8220;<i><strong>The Velvet Underground<\/strong>&#8220;<\/i> (NYFF59).<\/p>\n<p>Campari\u00ae, the iconic Milanese red aperitivo, is returning for the fifth year serving as the Exclusive Spirits Partner for the 61st New York Film Festival and the Presenting Partner of Opening Night, underscoring its continued commitment to the world of film.<\/p>\n<p>The NYFF Main Slate selection committee, chaired by Dennis Lim, also includes Florence Almozini, Justin Chang, K.
