Day 11 at #NYFF64: Pawel Pawlikowski's Fatherland is an austere drama, just 71 mins + credits, about Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika returning to Germany in 1949 and having to confront a shattered country and a shattered family. It's so tightly controlled it almost feels curated scene by scene.>

First #NYFF64 express pass movie of the fest. #Fjord

I'd love for "The Only Living Pickpocket" to put John Turturro in the conversation for a long overdue Oscar nomination. #nyff #nyff64 #film #filmsky

Back at #NYFF64 for the 3rd day watching a conversation between two of my favorite directors.

Pedro’s other look at the NYFF took a little longer to complete, in order to try to get details as close as I could. Spasticcustoms.etsy.com #pedropascal #behemoth #nyff64

How could I not pair ELSINORE, which opens the 70th London Film Festival on Wednesday, with THE MAN I LOVE, screening this week in New York?

After seeing Fjord a second time, I unfortunately came away liking it even less. I understand a little more of what the movie is going for, but it still just didn’t connect with me the way I hoped it would.

For week 2 of the #NYFF64 I give you the exceptionally rare #LetterboxdFriday... ON #MOVIEMONDAY! Insane. Very pumped about three of these #LastFourWatched, and i'm sorry to say that my weekend was likely better than yours. Haha! Movie are the best! #Filmsky #MovieSky #Letterboxd

It’s incredibly impressive that this is Jordan Firstman’s feature directorial debut, especially while also giving such a great performance. Club Kid could’ve just been a funny nightlife comedy, but it becomes something much more human. One of my favorite NYC films of the year. 3/3

#NYFF64

NYC is absolutely a character here. I worked in nightlife in NYC for a decade, so I really appreciated how authentic the clubs, promoters, guest lists, late nights and chaos all feel. And the gorgeous 35mm cinematography gives the city exactly the texture it needs. 2/3

#NYFF64

Club Kid is a great coming-of-age story about someone who probably should’ve grown up a long time ago. It’s hilarious, messy and surprisingly moving, with Jordan Firstman giving the film much more emotional depth than I expected. 1/3

Valeska Grisebach’s THE DREAMED ADVENTURE, writes @jakecole.bsky.social, makes resonant meaning from a patchwork of longueurs and digressions with no interest in bringing forth a concrete resolution. The film has its U.S. premiere tonight at #NYFF64. shorturl.at/HMUX7

With #OneMoreTime, André Gregory shares a moving curtain call, a personal document that looks back at the work of three accomplished thespians and reckons in the present with their shared mortality.
