New York Film Festival

The composer and artist always seemed to anticipate the future of sound.

Hong Sangsoo, Catherine Breillat, and Sofia Coppola deliver three types of intensity.

Four of the best films, despite their vast differences, display highly distinctive ways of juxtaposing images and words.

A pair of the strongest entries at this year’s festival spotlight brilliant artists at work: Jafar Panahi and Thelonious Monk.

A trio of films share provocative approaches to the cinematic representation of facts.

Metaphysical mysteries and political dangers come to the fore in a teeming program of international films by Céline Sciamma, Hong Sangsoo, and others.

The late filmmaker’s “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song,” playing in the Revivals section, is one standout of the festival’s first week.

Encore screenings at the online festival follow a married thirtysomething during a night out in Seoul and the complicated lives of West Indian people in the U.K.

Some top selections from the festival come from three veteran filmmakers, who provide illuminating views both of their longtime artistic obsessions and of the present day.

This year’s festival, which will be watched mainly at home, will be different—though the differences will be distinct for each film.

A filmmaker’s illuminatingly introspective last work, a richly textured drama, and a documentary about the convergence of entertainment and justice.

A pair of stylistically imaginative, politically acute dramas, and a batch of shorts from local filmmakers.

Although most of the best movies in this year’s festival will screen during its later weeks, three cinematic treasures are on offer during the first few days.

In “Hotel by the River,” the South Korean director Hong Sang-soo loosens his style for a family story that is compact, hard-edged, and sometimes dazzlingly intricate.

In his desire to make a movie about Bannon rather than merely to film an interview with Bannon, Morris does too much, but the lack of simplicity proves also to be a lack of clarity.

The festival will showcase new movies along with revivals and rediscoveries, including the recently completed Orson Welles film “The Other Side of the Wind,” shot in the nineteen-seventies.

Notes on Claude Lanzmann’s “The Four Sisters,” Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird,” and other major screenings from the festival.
