Joel Coen’s upcoming “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” stars Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. Now it is set to open the 59th New York Film Festival on September 24th. Bypassing Telluride and Venice a foregone conclusion in my world, but this only makes NYFF more likely the place to be for cinephiles in September (sorry, Toronto).
Is “The Exorcist” truly the greatest horror film ever made, or has time crowned a new champion of fear? Maybe it’s “The Shining,” ‘Texas Chainsaw,’ “Psycho,” or something entirely unexpected that still keeps you up at night.
