The day has finally arrived for the long-awaited opening of the newly renovated Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens with a special members' preview and screening of Robert Rossen's The Hustler this evening. Other notable film events in the opening month include the NY premieres of John Ford's rediscovered silent Upstream and Hong Sang-Soo's HaHaHa; Paul Fejos's 1928 masterpiece Lonesome; several notable avant-garde films including works by the Kuchars, Jonas Mekas, Andy Warhol and Gregory Markopoulos; and the current top film on my must-see list:
Manoel de Oliveira's 4 1/2-hour Doomed Love. I will have more to say about this and other films in the weeks ahead.
