The “Good Night, and Good Luck” movie focused on the early days of American broadcast journalism, starring David Strathairn as CBS news host Edward R....

Howard’s stock-in-trade studio drama is harder to come by these days. Always a canny Hollywood player (with his Imagine Entertainment partner Brian Grazer), Howard pivoted over the past decade to more indie-minded projects such as “Rush” and documentaries like “Rebuilding Paradise.” Netflix backed “Hillbilly Elegy,” a resonant family story that will likely lure far more viewers than the movie might have generated in theaters, COVID or no. In fact, it’s likely that no studio would have backed this, even with two of the great overlooked Oscar-contenders in Hollywood history above the marquee, Amy Adams (six nominations) and Glenn Close (seven)....

It was a really interesting to get the immediate response because some of it was really wonderful. One guy, when I pitched it to him, ‘and then she sits up…and she’s not drunk!’ He was just kind of sitting, staring into space for a while....

She was referring to the daunting odds of her director-husband’s stark, expressionistic take on the ultimate Shakespearean tragedy, though she may as well have been addressing the greatest crisis in modern creativity, and one that the movies face more than most other mediums. With its silent cinema aesthetic and gruff, visceral performances, “Macbeth” certainly provides an original take on one very familiar narrative. But NYFF, as a whole, projects an ethos altogether different from other prominent festivals on the fall circuit, as its curatorial strategy heralds the art of the new....
