Gray's Lost City of Z is beginning theatrical release in NY and LA today, but I won't see it till next...
Worth the time in my opinion.
His first films focus on a gangsterish mood in the Russian Jewish section of Queens. Little Odessa, The Yards, We Own the Night- the latter two featured Joaquin Phoenix. Two Lovers is a beautiful...

This is one from the NYFF that I missed so far - coming out soon. The Metrograph, down in Chinatown in NYC, is becoming quite the destination, a...
Both your statements are true, I guess. . . But Paterson is meant to be mysterious; all Jarmusch's protagonists are - so assume a logic we don't understand. You did say the film was sublime.
I don't see the serial killerish part - Peterson seems so calm and gentle (but I guess killers fool people that way!). He seems like a spiritual, enlightened person, at peace with the world and...
Yes. Nothing can compare to the delight of discovery of watching Jim Jarmusch's first four films (excluding his actual first, which I saw later). I can remember sitting in the theater seeing...
Did you see how Anthony Lane describes Adam Driver? He is the actor of the moment. The NYFF had two "evenings with" and the featured ones were him and Kristen Stewart (also in with cool directors). ...

I agree with your review (you wrote a review!) and love this film. It's a pity that because it's so low key, people seem to have largely dismissed it. Several people I know at NY press screenings...

Kristen Stewart directed by Assayas again this time without Juliette Binoche, who was busy overacting in Bruno Dumont's Slack Bay (Rendez-Vous 2017) She...
JULIETA (Pedro Almodóvar 2016)
An adaptation of three linked short stories by the Nobel Prizewinning Canadian writer Alice Munro. An odd combination, I'd say - and I didn't get it.
