The 2007 New York Film Festival Lineup

Here is the official lineup for the NY Film Festival. About half the films screened at Cannes (that is the way it usually is). I would love to go to the No Country screening but I think that it will be almost impossible to get a ticket (never mind the price). Besides No Country there are several films I would love to see - but I will see them when they come to the regular theaters. Some of the films on this list I want to see are: 4 Months, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, The Flight of the Red Balloon, I'm Not There, and The Orphanage. I am also very interested in the new films by two old masters - Rohmer and Chabrol. Margot at the Wedding Might be good but I am not sure. And the Darjeeling Limited...well, we shall have to see. I am not a Wes Anderson fan (although I liked The Royal Tennanbaums).
