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.
Spotlight Gala · U.S. Premiere · Q&A with Luca Guadagnino, Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, and Justin Kuritzkes on Oct. 6 (joined by Jonathan Anderson) and Oct. 7

CAUGHT BY THE TIDES 风流一代 (Jia Zhang-ke 2024)
Jia Zhang-ke's symphonic, career-summarizing new film reviews many themes while resuming a favorite storyline. Jia weaves sequences from earlier films to tell a decades-long story of a failed romance that encapsulates the modern history of China. Impressive and recommended.
U.S. Premiere · Q&A with Jia Zhangke on Oct. 8 & 9

THE SHROUDS (David Cronenberg 2024)
Respectfully received at Cannes. But excruciating, precise necrophilia may not be your thing; it's not mine, so despite careful direction and an excellent cast, this cannot be recommended
U.S. Premiere · Q&A with David Cronenberg on Oct. 5 & 6

I'M STILL HERE (Walter Salles 2024)
Based on memoirs and the director's own youthful memories, the portrait of an exceptionally happy Rio de Janeiro family destroyed by the Brazilian dictatorship in the early seventies and particularly of the brave surviving wife Eunice Paiva, who while pursuing the truth about her "disappeared" former congressman husband, reinvented herself as a lawyer who worked to defend indigenous rights from land grabbers. A terrific, sad film.

SUBURBAN FURY (Robinson Devor 2024)
An interview with and artful portrait of Sara Jane Moore, who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford in San Francisco in 1975 and served 32 years in prison for it; and it's also a free-ranging portrait of the radicalism of the seventies.
Premiere. It will also show soon at DOC Stories in San Francisco.

EMILIA PÉREZ (Jacques Audiard 2024).
US theatrical release from Nov. 1 and now (Nov. 18) showing throughout the country Available on Netflix from Nov. 13.
On rewatching later (November 18), this time at home and keeping up much better with the bizarre plot line, I find the details fascinating, surely material for a mini-series, but still full of plausibility holes and still not emotionally involving. But if you're a cinephile who likes to keep up, watch it! But you also should see Anora, A Real Pain, and Conclave, also showing now - on the big screen. P.s. Stephanie Zacharek suggests in her recent review that with a repressive new administration coming we should give our support to a movie that's so warmly trans-accepting as this.
