New York Film Festival 2023: Priscilla
- Excerpt: A perfect companion piece to Coppola’s magnificent Marie Antoinette, which peeled back the heavy brocade curtains of Versailles to show how a life that looks like a sugary confection can still leave you feeling empty and unsatisfied, Priscilla is an impeccably crafted and sensitively acted film that finally shines a spotlight on the woman who lived for so many years in the shadow of an iconic spouse.
New York Film Festival 2023: THE BOY AND THE HERON
- Excerpt: A semi-autobiographical tale that draws its Japanese title, How Do You Live?, from a novel by Genzaburo Yoshino that Miyazaki’s mother gave to him in his youth, The Boy and the Heron is a dark, dreamlike vision of life, death, and creation as seen through the eyes of our most singularly magical cinematic storyteller.
