Well, the New York Film Festival slate has been announced and with that out of the way, many of those movies can now reveal their release dates. Gaspar Noe‘s "Love," Hou Hsiao-hsien‘s "The Assassin" and perhaps more curiously, Stephen Daldry‘s almost-forgotten Brazilian favela drama "Trash" co-starring Rooney Mara and Martin Sheen. The movie debuted last fall, but failed to make the fall film festival rounds like many expected (outside of the Rio Film Festival). Instead, the movie will now arrive on October 9th.
Gaspar Noe‘s controversial 3D sex film "Love" finally lands stateside November 6th, and Hou Hsiao-hsien‘s "The Assassin," a film many thought was a strong contender to win the top prize at Cannes, lands on October 16th. Also revealed are release dates for Laurie Anderson‘s latest, Guy Maddin‘s "The Forbidden Room" and festival favorites from Veronika Franz, Rick Alverson, Jafar Panahi and more. Details below.
