In a recent New York Times article , “Still Meaty, Film Festival Lightens Up” , written by Stephen Holden, discusses the New York Film Festival this year. Holden mentions how there have been a series of complaints over the years about the movies shown at the festival. Attendees of the film festival felt that there were not enough movies in the entertainment category. In its fifty first year , the New York Film Festival decided to make a few changes. Holden references movies such as Ben Stiller’s recent film “The Secret of Walter Mitty” , Richard Curitis’s “About Time”, and Corneliu Porumboiu’s “ When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism”. “The Secret of Walter Mitty” is about a photo editor who works for Life Magazine and is on a mission to locate a missing still. “About Time” is a British comedy which tells the story of a father and his son who have the ability to time travel. “ When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism” is a unique story about how a relationship is similar to filming. All three of these films are very different which serves the purpose of this years film festival to include a variety of new genres . The variety of films attracts to more than one audience and successfully acknowledges the complaints of many viewers in the past years.
