INCITEMENT (Greenwich Entertainment), based on the actual events surrounding the assassination of Yizthak Rabin
A 4K restoration of István Szabó's 1981 Oscar-winner

Jan Komasa’s 2020 Best International Film Oscar nominee
CORPUS CHRISTI (Film Movement). Oscar nominee. Recommended.
Ken Loach’s timely drama
SORRY WE MISSED YOU (Zeitgeist Films in association with Kino Lorber). Depressing, but. . . It's Ken Loach.
Diao Yinan’s acclaimed Chinese noir
THE WILD GOOSE LAKE (Film Movement) (NYFF 2019). Colorful, but not great.
Corneliu Porumboiu’s Romanian crime caper
THE WHISTLERS (Magnolia Pictures) (NYFF 2019). Much admired. Did not like.
Luchino Visconti’s lush final film,
L’INNOCENTE (Kino Lorber). Not his best, but beautiful. )
