ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL (Rungano Nyoni 2024)
Surrealism and traditionalism blend in this funeral wake exposure of a dead uncle's sexual predations on young female family members. A continually enjoyable and eye-opening film. The Zambian-born, Welsh-raised filmmaker unfolds another misogyny fable focused basically on the harsh abuses faced by young girls even in ttoday's African society.

OH, CANADA (Paul Schrader 2024)
Based on the late Russell Banks' novel, this depicts a renowned documentarian in Canada who fled the US draft in the sixties. Deathly ill, sitting for an admiring portrait, he sets out, in the novel anyway, to undermine that project by revealing all his ugly secrets. But this message gets confused in the adaptation.

THE FRIEND (Scott McGehee, David Siegel 2024)
Engaging adaptation of the Sigrid Nunez's National Book Award winner about a woman friend (Naomi Watts) who falls heir to the harlequin Great Dane of her dear departed friend Walter (Bill Murray). The adjustment to the dog is a process of grieving, for both her and the dog. An enlightening charmer.

AFTERNOONS OF SOLITUDE (Albert Serra 2024)
An extraordinarily vivid and pure documentary of bullfighting in Spain focused exclusively on the gifted young Peruvian-born matador Andrés Roca Rey. Even if you have been a regular audience member you have never entered into the heart of the corrida del torros as intimately as this. Disturbing but beautiful. Premiered at San Sebastián, where it won the top prize. Included in the Spotlights section at the New York Film Festival.

THE ROOM NEXT DOOR (Pedro Almodóvar 2024)
The Spanish director's first feature film in English is based on a novel by American writer Sigrid Nunez, as is another NYFF Main Slate film this year, Scott McGehee and David Siegel's The Friend. This treatment, involving euthanasia in which Julianne Moore's successful novelist assists Tilda Swinton's cancer-ridden war correspondent, is more problematic, though of course beautiful and well acted. With John Turturro.
Centerpiece · U.S. Premiere · Pedro Almodóvar, Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, John Turturro, and Alessandro Nivola in person at Oct. 4 screenings at Alice Tully Hall

QUEER (Luca Guadagnino 2024)
Daniel Craig's casting wildly against type as William Lee, the autobiographical protagonist of William Burroughs' minor early novel, in an adaptation by Luca Guadangino is an event, however inexplicable the project.
