Coverage of The 54th New York Film Festival

The Ornithologist (Joāo Pedro Rodrigues, 2016) 

The 54th New York Film Festival was strong, maybe not as strong as the 52nd, but strong nonetheless. I saw many good films and a few great films (A Quiet Passion and The Death of Louis XIV). Below you'll find a collection of pieces I wrote for Brooklyn Magazine, Desistfilm, and Hyperallergic:

• Spawn of the North (Henry Hathaway, 1938), Brooklyn Magazine

• Neruda (Pablo Larraín, 2016), Desistfilm

• Paterson (Jim Jarmusch, 2016), Desistfilm
