More films were announced by the New York Film Festival this morning. This time it’s the Spotlight section, which is a notch below the Main Slate.
Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones & All,” Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking,” Maria Schrader’s “She Said,” and Chinonye Chukwu’s “Til” will be screening, among others.
That settles it then, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Bardo,” Florian Zeller’s “The Son,” Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light,” are officially not New York bound.
Of note, the premiere designation for Chris Smith’s doc “Sr.” means it will likely be going to Telluride.
“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
