EMILIA PEREZ, Maria Callas Biopic Among Titles at 62nd New York Film Festival

Film at Lincoln Center has unveiled the Spotlight for the 62nd New York Film Festival (September 27–October 14), a showcase of the fall’s most notable films, featuring a selection of must-see literary adaptations, portraits of musical artists, Cannes award winners, works dealing with political and historical realities, and the final film of Jean-Luc Godard, screening alongside a documentary of the master at work. 

This year’s Spotlight features a range of portraits of musicians and performers, including Pablo Larraín’s Maria, with Angelina Jolie delivering a towering performance as legendary opera singer Maria Callas in her final days; the North American premieres of Pavements, Alex Ross Perry’s irreverent anti-biodoc about the influential indie rock band Pavement, and TWST/Things We Said Today, Andrei Ujică’s archival film about the Beatles’ descent on NYC for their sold-out 1965 Shea Stadium concert; and the U.S. premiere of Elton John: Never Too Late, directed by R.J. Cutler and David Furnish, featuring never-before-seen concert footage from the past 50 years, with in-person appearances by Elton John and the directors. Music is also prominent in Jacques Audiard’s Cannes Jury Prize winner Emilia Pérez, an audacious and genre-defying musical crime comedy that also received the Cannes Best Actress prize for its ensemble cast.
