Almodovar's First English Film at Lincoln Center
Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore Enthrall
By: - Oct 05th, 2024Pedro Almodovar will receive the 2025 Chaplin Award at Lincoln Center next spring. Some say he cannot make a bad movie. Certainly the painterly frames of each scene in his new film,The Room Next Door, are worthy of inclusion in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum and MOMA. Is their purpose, in this film, to distance us in time from the subject of the film, euthanasia?

Maestro Misses its Mark
Bradley Cooper Needed a Director
By: - Jan 02nd, 2024The film Maestro reminds us that classical music can be accessible to a wide audience. This is not because the film makes the music accessible.
