The New York Film Festival is out of control this year!
They’ve already announced their tentpole movies — “Paper Tiger,” by James Gray opens. Ava Duvernay closes with “14th.” Tony Gilroy’s “Behemoth” is the centerpiece.
But now they’ve added their Spotlight galas, and they are big, kids. We’re going to be racing around going to everything everywhere all at once!
Lots of stars! All the quality films of the fall in one place. I may take a room at the Empire Hotel so I can just go over to Alice Tully in my pjs! (PJ Clarke’s is going to be impossible to get into, also)
