âVerityâ Is a Criminal Waste of Talent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Melodrama is perched on the edge of laughter because itâs intrinsically a parody of tragedy, an infusion of heroic grandeur into workaday lives. The laughter I hear (and sometimes even unleash) when Iâm in a theatre watching a classic melodrama never seems, or feels, derisive but, rather, astonished. So it was, too, when I saw one of the more classically tailored of recent melodramas, âIt Ends with Us,â from 2024, adapted from a novel by Colleen Hoover. That movieâs absurdities didnâ
The Best Things Richard Brody Saw During Week One of the New York Film Festival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many of the best films I’ve seen at advance screenings of this year’s New York Film Festival are by veterans of the annual event, but this year’s main-slate lineup adds a twist: a veteran filmmaker who is making his long-delayed N.Y.F.F. début. The director in question, Mani Haghighi, has been making features for more than twenty years; four of them are among the best films of the era, but only one has been released in the U.S. Now his latest will have its world première at the festival, on Sept
âNAZAâ Puts Israel Face to Face with the War in Gaza (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In November, 2023, and April, 2024, the Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham wrote a pair of articles about the high number of civilian casualties in the attacks that Israel launched in Gaza in response to Hamasâs massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023.

New York Film Festivalâs World of Cinema (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The torrent of cinema thatâs coming to the New York Film Festival (Sept. 25-Oct. 12) displays a thrilling array of artistry from around the world, on both sides of the camera. Arthur Harari, best known for co-writing âAnatomy of a Fall,â directed âThe Unknown,â a harrowingly intense, metaphysical melodrama, set in and near Paris, where three people, after casual sexual encounters, discover that they have swapped bodies with their partners. The exotic premise is developed with relentles
In âThe Sun Never Sets,â Joe Swanberg Strips Romance to Its Bones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joe Swanberg has a career of remarkable stylistic variety. He started, in 2005, as a do-it-yourself filmmaker, with budgets in the low four figures, and built up an informal stock company of then unfamiliar actors who quickly distinguished themselves in the fieldâincluding Greta Gerwig, whose career was launched by her leading role in his freewheeling 2007 movie âHannah Takes the Stairs.â In 2013, he changed course drastically, directing Anna Kendrick, Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson, and Ron L
