Paris movie report (oct. 2011)

[Chris Knipp]

The following films opened in New York recently:

CHICKEN WITH PLUMS (Paranaud/Satrapi). Reviewed in this thread, seen in Paris October 2011. Showing at City Cinemas Village East Cinema, NYC.

THE AMBASSADOR (Mads Brügger). ] Included in New Directors/New Films Feb.-March 2012, at Lincoln Center and reviewed by me then. Opens Wed. Aug. 29 at iFC Center, NYC.

NEIGHBORING SOUNDS (Kleber Mendoça, Brazilian). Also part of this year's New Directors/New Films. This one I'd consider a must-see. (It was reviewed by A.O. Scott and is a NY Times movie pick.) IFC Center, NYC, opened Aug. 24.

CHICKEN WITH PLUMS and THE AMBASSADOR you survie without, but you should probably see Brügger's RED CHAPEL and Paranaud/Satrapi's PERSEPOLIS, their previous films.
