This year’s New York Film Festival is receiving quite a bit of buzz for the addition of Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter– a movie about the intertwining experiences of people who have dealt with death, near-death and the afterlife- which will be the closing-night selection of fest.
Hereafter stars Matt Damon as an American psychic, Cécile de France as a French journalist who has a brush with death in the 2004 tsunami, and Frankie and George McLaren as a London schoolboy who loses his twin brother. Bryce Dallas Howard ( pictured above with Damon) also stars. The movie will be shown on Oct. 10 at Alice Tully Hall.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center will also present new movies by Jean-Luc Godard, Mike Leigh and Kelly Reichardt and other directors throughout the festival which runs from September 24- October 10, 2010.
