Richard Brody's New York Film Festival Picks
Briefly

The 2024 New York Film Festival showcases diverse new films, including "Oh, Canada" by Paul Schrader and the thrilling "Misericordia" by Alain Guiraudie.
In "Oh, Canada", Richard Gere plays a dying filmmaker revealing painful secrets in a personal documentary, while Schrader critiques life's cold-hearted regrets.
"Misericordia" explores hidden queerness and the radical nature of sexuality amid traditional bonds, as a young man’s return stirs rumors and conflicts.
Mati Diop's "Dahomey" creatively examines the repatriation of looted art, blending history and student debates within an evocative visual narrative.
