For the past decade, Film Comment has handpicked art-house, festival, and repertory musts for NYC cinephiles. This trend continues with a series that features remembrances for late greats Edward Yang (A Brighter Summer Day) and Eric Rohmer (The Aviator's Wife); Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Dirty Harry-inspired double shot The Revenge; a triple bill for the inimitable Philippe Grandrieux; and a 90-minute program of Godard rarities. There's also a roll call of international crackerjacks like Hirokazu Kore-eda, Hong Sang-Soo, and Cristian Mungiu (here with the Ceausescu-lambasting omnibus film, Tales from the Golden Age). American titles bookend, with Jonathan Kaplan's anarchic 1979 classic Over the Edge up first and Paul Greengrass' upcoming Green Zone with Matt "Bourne-Ready" Damon to finish.

Note:

The screening for Over the Edge includes a cast reunion (Matt Dillon, Vincent Spano, et al.) and an afterparty with a Vice-sponsored open bar.
