As exciting as it can be to see some of the most-anticipated films of the year at their festival debuts, it’s perhaps even a more enticing proposition to seek out the films that one may not have a chance to for quite some time. With the 62nd New York Film Festival kicking off this Friday, […]

One of the most acclaimed films coming out of the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year was A Real Pain, the second feature directed by Jesse Eisenberg.

I’ve heard from more than one reliable source that Brian De Palma was done directing. It’s believable enough without any inside info: the five years since his, let’s say, fascinating and compromised Domino have not found him growing any younger, and a director who’d taken so many hits in the preceding decades only has so […]

Coralie Fargeat’s Revenge (2017) thrilled audiences with its never-ending finale chase sequence through hallways lubricated in Shining-level quantities of blood. The French filmmaker’s follow-up, The Substance, amps up the gore, adding a strong dose of Cronenbergian body horror. Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a star, a big enough one to merit her own on the […]

One week before Megalopolis would seem the most impossible time to consider another Francis Ford Coppola movie, but perhaps that is the exact dividing line between those who create and those who consume.
