Hey peeps! Here's a thread of NYFF takes (and, hopefully, a few links) from yours truly. In the hell-year that is 2020, it's a great comfort to be able to watch the crème de la crème of cinema, though not in the comfort of Walter Reade but instead at...

The Tango of the Widower and Its Distorting Mirror (Raúl Ruiz & Valeria Sarmiento, 2020):

Smart experimental filmmaking and spook encounters of a surreal kind spin a 1967 take on a Poe-esque yarn into a lingering specter of life, death, and the end.

(My first Ruiz.) #NYFF

Soooooo... I've been watching a bunch these past few days and am now gathering thoughts as outside-world chaos is just gonna chaos. Following the cool kids' (and brands') leads, I've started a NYFF 2020 Letterboxd list here: https://letterboxd.com/applegirl07/list/nyff-2020/
