Twenty years ago, this venerable series included Days of Being Wild in its round up of new films by who-dat talent. Wong Kar-wai's luscious take on the folly and tenderness of youth was not his first film, but it was a neon-lit sign of things to come from the hep Hong Kong romantic. As in every other, this year's lineup is deep and diverse in potential. Among the fascinating pics are Samson and Delilah, a Caméra d'Or-winning aboriginal story; 3 Backyards, Eric Mendelsohn's superb trio of Long Island tales; and Down Terrace, a genre masher that follows a just-released father and son. The festival closes with the provocatively named and themed I Killed My Mother.
