'Volver,' 'Pan's Labyrinth,' 'Reds' Announced as Early NYFF Choices
The folks at the Film Society of Lincoln Center just kicked a note under the door naming Volver, Pan's Labyrinth and Reds as the Centerpiece, Closing Night and Retrospective selections of the 44th New York Film Festival starting Sept. 29. I cannot say Pedro Almodóvar's Volver (right) is any big surprise--I had it confirmed back when The Queen was announced as the Opening Night selection--but its appearance as the Centerpiece seems somewhat generous considering how Almodóvar's previous film, Bad Education, earned similar placement in the 2004 NYFF.
At any rate, Warren Beatty's Reds is a nice choice on the 25th anniversary of the film's release, and the Film Society notes that it will indeed screen with a newly restored print. Dates for each screening and their corresponding filmmaker Q&A's have yet to be announced, but expect those and the remaining NYFF schedule to arrive at Reeler HQ later this week. You will have them as soon as I do.
