The 44th New York Film Festival The 44th New York Film Festival
Opening Night: Stephen Frears’ acidly funny portrait of the British royal family, The Queen (Miramax Films), stars Helen Mirren.
Centerpiece: Pedro Almodóvar’s supernatural tale of murder, adultery and family happiness, Volver, brings together a remarkable ensemble of actresses (Penelope Cruz, Carmen Maura, Lola Duenas, Blanca Portillo, Yohana Cobo, Chus Lampreave) who portray three indomitable generations of women. Closing Night: Guillermo del Toro’s passionate, eye-popping Pan’s Labyrinth (Picturehouse) is a world of wonders, where the historical, the political and the mythological become one. In addition to many other special events and screenings, the Festival features The Tenth Annual Views from the Avant Garde. This year the New York Film Festival sidebar will be “50 Years of Janus Films.” This series will feature many world cinema classics, some of which are not yet released on DVD or VHS. Working in conjunction with Janus Films and Criterion, the retrospective will screen new prints of almost all the presented films.
