Wednesday, September 12, 2018
Yorgos Lanthimos's wildly intricate and very darkly funny new film "The Favorite" opens the 56th Annual New York Film Festival.
A duchess (Rachel Weisz), and her servant (Emma Stone) engage in a sexually charged fight to the death for Queen Anne at the height of the War of the Spanish succession.
Centerpiece Selection: "Roma." Alfonso Cuarón tells an epic, autobiographical story of everyday life in 1970s Mexico City, while also sweeping us into a vast cinematic experience.
Julian Schnabel's ravishingly tactile and luminous new film takes a fresh look at the last days of Vincent van Gogh (played by Willem Dafoe, in a shattering performance).
