In a handful of deliberately and gently dark films, screenwriter and director Pascal Bonitzer has built a body of work that is both fierce and gentle. His characters practice ironic antipathy and take quiet steps to make themselves known, but they also display great and disarming frankness and a desire that is completely free of the need for others.

Martin Scorsese’s portrait of writer and social commentator Fran Lebowitz, celebrated for her sharp wit and observations on modern life. Filmed at New York’s Waverly Inn and intercut with archival footage and interviews, the documentary captures Lebowitz’s distinctive worldview through her spontaneous monologues and public appearances.

A purely observational non-fiction film that takes viewers into the ethically murky world of end-of-life decision making in a public hospital.
