Welcome back to the Film at Lincoln Center podcast! On this episode of our daily 62nd New York Film Festival edition, we present the press conference of our Opening Night Selection Nickel Boys. Moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim, he was joined by director RaMell Ross and cast members Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Daveed Diggs, Fred Hechinger, and Hamish Linklater to discuss the film.
Nickel Boys screens again on October 3, 5, and 9. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/nyff
Inspired by actual events, RaMell Ross’s Nickel Boys comes to vivid life via an ingenious visual approach that brilliantly adapts the subjectivity of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning 2019 novel. This harrowing tale sets the beauty of the natural world against the cruel realities of American racism, and confirms its maker’s status as a visionary cinematic artist.
