Free Talk: Paul Schrader
60th New York Film Festival
September 30 - October 16, 2022
The legendary American director and screenwriter participates in an extended conversation on Master Gardener, the latest entry in his masterful, decades-spanning oeuvre.
For nearly half a century, Paul Schrader has been writing and directing films that cut to the heart of the American project with white-hot precision. Rounding out an era-delineating thematic trilogy that began with First Reformed and The Card Counter, Schrader continues his dramatic renaissance with Master Gardener, a startling tale about dormant violence and the possibility of regeneration where redemption seems out of reach. We are thrilled to welcome the legendary American director and screenwriter for an extended conversation on this latest entry in his masterful, decades-spanning oeuvre.
Paul Schrader’s Master Gardener is a Main Slate selection of this year’s New York Film Festival. Click here to learn more about the film.
