With tonight’s screening of The Descendants,
the New York Film Festival wraps up its 49th year, and one of its
most ambitious years in terms of its expanded programming and excellent
selection. Of course, NYFF now turns toward the future, with a year-long retrospective of works from the previous years in gearing up for the golden
anniversary, including screenings of works by Marco Bellocchio and Carlos Saura
in the coming weeks.
But one thing that the Film Society at Lincoln
Center never does are awards. The 27 Main Selection films are all worth your
time equally. Of course, this is America, and there are winners and losers. Since people can only spend so much time at the movies this fall, one would
like to know what is for sure worth checking out. So here are my awards. The
top prize, “The Golden Bull,” named after our now infamous Wall Street symbol
in the city.
The Golden Bull: A Separation, a film by Asghar Farhadi
The Silver Bull: Martha Marcy May Marlene, a film by Sean Durkin
