Film Comment Selects And New Directors, New Films 2010

Festival Coverage for some reviews of films from these two Film Society of Lincoln Center series for February-March-April 2010 begins here.

These are shown at the Walter Reade Theater, Lincoln Center, NYC, and at the Museum of Modern Art, The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1 at MoMA.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center has three important film series at this time of year:
Film Comment Selects: February 19 – March 4.
Rendez-Vous with French Cinema: March 11-21.
New Directors/New Films: March 24–April 4, 2010
In this thread again this year I will link to Festival Coverage reviews of some selections from FCS and ND/NF. But I will not provide reviews of all the films as for the Rendez-Vous.



I've seen six of the Film Comment Selects series and will report on them briefly. The FSLC page for this series is here.

The FCS films I have watched are:

Persecution (Patrice Chéreau 2009)
Be Good/Sois sage (Juliette Garcias 2009)
Kinatay (Brillante Mendoza 2009)
Like You Know It All (Hong Sang-so 2009)
Happy End/Les derniers jours du monde (Armand and Jean-Marie Larrieu 2009)
The Time That Remains (Elia Suleiman 2009)




I will attend some of the press screenings of New Directors/New Films and will report on them. They begin March 8, 2010. The list of films in the series and schedule of public screenings will be found here.
