- The Trail of the Chicago 7: This really happened in America
- My Octopus Teacher: an octopus and her human pet
- David Byrne’s American Utopia: a most human vibe
- The Artist’s Wife: she finds her gifts
- Dick Johnson Is Dead: funny, heartfelt and frequently bizarre
- Sibyl: trashy, but in that sly and expert French way.
- #Alive: A Korean Home Alone with zombies.
ON TV
On November 22, Turner Classic Movies presents Woody Allen’s 1986 near-masterpiece, Hannah and Her Sisters, a story framed by two Thanksgivings. Biting and insightful, Hannah and Her Sisters won Best Supporting Oscars for Michael Caine and Dianne Wiest, along with a Best Screenplay Oscar for Woody. I particularly enjoy the performances of Barbara Hershey as the inappropriate object of Caine’s middle-aged infatuation and Max Von Sydow as her artist-boyfriend, a ridiculously pretentious and selfish artist.
