NYFF56 Festival Wrap

The Film Comment Podcast

Toward the end of the New York Film Festival, our all-star team of Film Comment contributors came together to talk about the highlights. It was the third and final Film Comment Talk during the festival (following our Cinema of Experience event and our Filmmakers Chat, coming soon). You’ll hear all about Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Favourite, Barry Jenkins’s If Beale Street Could Talk, Claire Denis’s High Life, Alex Ross Perry’s Her Smell, the new Orson Welles reconstruction The Other Side of the Wind, and more. Film Comment Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold was joined by Molly Haskell, author of the foundational text From Reverence to Rape and a Yale University monograph of Steven Spielberg; K. Austin Collins, film critic at Vanity Fair; Eric Hynes, film curator at the Museum of the Moving Image; Michael Koresky, the creative and editorial director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center; and Aliza Ma, head programmer of Metrograph.
