Twenty years after his sudden passing, Richard Roud's fingerprints on our film culture are evident in any repertory program. During film's revolutionary '60s and '70s, Roud helped found the New York Film Festival and was an instrumental tastemaker who hyped foreign filmmakers as varied as the Nouvelle Vague auteurs (Godard, Truffaut, Resnais) and the arthouse twosome, Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet. Lincoln Center pays homage to his eclectic — and continental — film eye with a double bill of the man's must-sees: Max Ophüls' once-embargoed (for immorality), six-degrees-of-sex tale La Ronde and Straub and Huillet's spare, near-motionless study of Bach, The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach.
