Dennis Lim, the festival’s artistic director, called Baumbach’s adaptation “an unequivocal triumph: a wildly entertaining and morbidly funny meditation on the way we live now that is also the director’s most ambitious and expansive film." Baumbach’s film is opening both Venice and New York. Quite the honors. The fact that it won’t go to Telluride (who saw it) and Toronto confirms, to me at least, its supposed inaccessibility. It sounds great, but a little too ambitious for Oscar — that’s a good thing. Expected to World Premiere at NYFF are Maria Schrader’s “She Said,” and Chinonye Chukwu’s “Til.” There is no word yet on the rest of the lineup. The galas should be announced this week and the entire main slate next week. Contribute Hire me
