This week sees the (highly limited) release of probably my favorite film of the year, Miguel Gomes'
Our Beloved Month of August, opening for a week-long run at New York's
Anthology Film Archives and reviewed by me in the L Magazine. Also, very much worth seeing is Lixin Fan's doc
Last Train Home about mass numbers of Chinese migrant workers making their annual return to their native villages. I reviewed the film back when it played at New Directors/New Films. Now, it gets a much deserved theatrical release. Considerably less essential is Sean Baker's
Prince of Broadway, the subject of a short review in Time Out New York.
