Spike Lee captures David Byrne‘s recent Broadway performance-art-cum-greatest-hits revue for posterity, and ends up delivering more than just a concert film. It’s the sort of joyous collaboration between a filmmaker and a musician that lifts up the form much the way Byrne and his gray-suited band of singers, dancers and instrumentalists lift up the...
Francis Lee follows up his groundbreaking rural romance God’s Own Country with another love story, this time casting back to the mid 1800s as a scientist (Kate Winslet) and a young high-society woman (Saoirse Ronan) give in to their hearts’ desires along England’s rocky shores. Fossils fuel their passion, and the strict, oppressive social mores — n...
“I don’t think we do a good enough job of telling that story [of] what we actually do in the city … of tying it all together,” says Boston’s mayor Marty Walsh. That’s a job for legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman, who will rectify this connect-the-dots oversight over a four-and-a-half hour chronicle that covers roughly a year in the bureaucra...
Making good on the promise of his autopsy-of-a-judicial-system debut Court(2014), filmmaker Chaitanya Tamhane returns with a look at young man (Aditya Modak) dedicated to playing and studying Indian classical music.

Most people know that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was not exactly beloved by J. Edgar Hoover, and that the FBI director kept detailed reports on the Civil Rights icon’s daily activities (and extramarital dalliances). Sam Pollard’s documentary dives into just how extensive the Feds’ fixation on the Nobel prizewinner was, and the result is both eye-op...
The closest thing to a consensus critical hit at this year’s TIFF, Chloé Zhao’s tale of a middle-aged woman (Frances McDormand) embracing the life of a 21st-century migrant worker and a have-van-will-travel philosophy had just come off of winning the top prize at Venice when it made its North American premiere. It then nabbed the Audience Award in ...
Three years in the making, Gianfranco Rosi’s reportage on the conflicts raging in Iraq, Syria, Kurdistan and Lebanon isn’t a dispatch from the frontlines but from the periphery — notably, how the fighting affects the citizens caught in the crossfires and aftermaths. It’s a look at life during wartime that, in a unique move, emphasizes the life part...
The outta-left-field pleasant surprise of our TIFF ’20. A Hungarian neurosurgeon named Márta (Natasa Stork) leaves a residency in the U.S. to return to Budapest. She’s supposed to meet up with a fellow doctor (Viktor Bodó) she met at a conference; the two made the sort of immediate connection, Márta believes, that causes people to drop everything i...

When she encounters these lu...
