PARANOID @ NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL


So the big news for PARANOID PARK this month is it's inclusion in the New York Film Festival. This is not the Tribeca Film Festival but the older more established one that takes place in toney Lincoln Center. I noticed that many of the films from Cannes are in this same festival, including PARANOID and NOT A COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (the Cohen brothers) and PERSEPOLIS. But also at the NY Film Festival are some very buzzy films from Americans like: Todd Haynes' new Bob Dylan Movie, the new Wes Anderson and the new Noah Baumbach. So this is heady company and quite exciting. I'm a huge fan of all of these directors, but alas I am in California so I will have to wait until all these films make it out here (to the art houses most likely). They will of course all land here in the same month, which is why in September my film choices are: THE BROTHERS SOLOMON, THE INVASION and UNDERDOG. Really there's nothing to see here right now.
