New York Diary: Films watched at the cinema
I am currently staying near three cinemas that are walking distance (Angelika, Metrograph, Anthology and IFC) and I've watched films everyday during my first week here, sometimes 3 films a day. I guess my sightseeing in New York is visiting the cinemas. How can I not?
First Reformed (dir. Paul Schrader) is by far my favourite film seen this week and will no doubt be in my top 10, possibly top 5 by the end of the year. It's the only film I've been thinking about a lot this week, to an extent where I went to see it for the second time.
Here's the list of films watched this week:
