Final Cut – Ladies and Gentlemen
NYFF50: Cinema Reflected
September 29 - October 12, 2012
Alain Delon trades glances with Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Chan springs to the rescue of Jeanne Moreau in director György Pàlfi’s one-of-a-kind compilation film.
An odds-on candidate for the greatest movie ever made, Final Cut is entirely composed of scenes from the greatest movies ever made. Spending over three years in the editing room, György Pàlfi created this extraordinary film by culling scenes from over 450 international films and assembling them into a kind of ramshackle narrative. Characters are born, grow up, fall in love, marry, and move into domestic life: Alain Delon exchanges glances with Marilyn Monroe, while Jackie Chan springs to the rescue of Jeanne Moreau. Pàlfi, director of such eccentric gems as Hukkle and Taxidermia, offers a history of the world as told by the movies.
