Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2017

The Brand New Testament
Exploring other worlds, this film inhabits a Terry Gilliam or Michel Gondry zone with a wide-open heart and a supple spring in its step.
Things to Come
Isabelle Huppert delivers a gimlet-eyed, ferociously single-minded performance as yet another tense, driven character.
Daughters of the Dust
Julie Dash’s layered, poetic, and timeless film garnered lavish praise when it came out in 1991. It has now been rereleased on its 25th anniversary,
I Am Not Madame Bovary
Lian (Chinese megastar Fan Bingbing) is a woman on a mission, but she's neither Norma Rae nor Mother Courage.
The Love Witch
With every shot a saturated, gorgeous explosion of kitsch perfection, this elaborate send-up of 1960s and ’70s occult sexploitation films boils and toils over a bubblin’ cauldron of sheer spectacle.

John Turturro has a high old time chewing the scenery as an egomaniacal American actor who blows his lines and delights in trolling everyone around him.
Bang! The Bert Berns Story | DOC NYC
The tunesmith and record producer's crowded, busy life and underappreciated 1960s musical legacy form the subject of this tribute.
