The 56th New York Film Festival kicked off last night with Yorgos Lanthimos’s wildly entertaining, meticulously detailed redefining of the period piece, The Favourite. We spoke with the director about his wide-ranging influences and the importance of film festivals that show a diverse range of cinema from around the world. By popular demand, we’ve also added a screening of The Favourite on October 13! Limited tickets available here.
