If there is one thing that has
defined the New York Film Festival since its first year in 1963, the festival
has always aligned itself with the most essential names in world cinema (the
first film to play NYFF? Buñuel’s Exterminating
Angel). So as Peter closes out his coverage of the festival’s 50th
iteration, he brings on world cinema aficionado David Ehrlich from the Criterion
Corner to discuss the biggest auteurs and their new ambitious movies. Included
in this final dispatch are a story of love from Michael Haneke, a celebration
of movement from Leos Carax, a cynical autobiography from Olivier Assayss, and a
Tokyo-set puzzler from Abbas Kiarostami.
