Manakamana (Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez)
What Now? Remind Me (Joaquim Pinto)
Providence (Alain Resnais)
Manila In the Claws of Neon (Lino Brocka)
The New York Film Festival has announced a large selection of documentaries and revivals to play alongside the Main Slate discussed previously. The two most interesting documentaries, both prizewinners at the recent Locarno Film Festival, are Manakamana, the newest film from the Sensory Ethnography Lab that made last year's Leviathan which is set entirely inside a mountain cable car in Nepal, and What Now? Remind Me, an intimate personal diary film by gay Portuguese director Joaquim Pinto.There are a number of great revivals, including Lino Brocka's gritty Manila In the Claws of Neon, Alain Resnais's exquisite Providence, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's first feature Mysterious Object at Noon, Cy Endfield's politically charged film noir Try and Get Me, two great Nicholas Ray films, They Live by Night and The Lusty Men, and Leos Carax's first two films, Boy Meets Girl and Mauvais Sang.
