At the New York Film Festival, legacies loom large
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” isn’t part of the New York Film Festival’s lineup, but its agitated sense of inheritance and keeping a fighting spirit alive are all over this year’s cinematic convergence at Lincoln Center. Much of what so energetically animates “One Battle After Another” can be felt across a wide spectrum of the 106 features unspooling across the 18-day festival. Highlights at this year’s festival include Daniel Day-Lewis return from retirement, in “Anemone,” the Martin Scorsese documentary profile “Mr. Scorsese” and Ben Stiller’s family documentary “Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost.”
