The 53rd New York Film Festival is in the home stretch. With just a few more days left to soak up the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s impeccably curated celebration of world cinema, we’d like to put a few films and events on your radar.

John Crowley’s Brooklyn starring Saoirse Ronan

Among the heavy hitters that have yet to screen are John Crowley’s Brooklyn, Todd Haynes’ Carol and the world premiere of Don Cheadle’s Miles Ahead. Brooklyn, which premiered at Sundance to rave reviews, is penned by Nick Hornby and stars Saoirse Ronan as a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. Crowley’s other director credits include the brilliant British film Boy A (2007) and crime-thriller Closed Circuit (2013).

As for Carol, Haynes also revisits the 1950s. His film, which stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, is adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price Of Salt, and is about a same-sex love affair between an upper middle class suburban housewife and a young New York City-dwelling shop girl. Blanchett is captivating in the title role, and the production design and costumes are exquisite. In addition to the screenings, both Haynes and the film’s director of photography Ed Lachmann are doing free talks at the festival.

Rounding out this grouping is Cheadle’s portrait of Miles Davis. Set in the late 1970s, the film looks at the musician during one of the most difficult periods in his life. Miles Ahead is the festival’s closing night feature and is screening multiple times on the same night.

There are also several Special Events screenings during this last portion of the festival that are of note. Film Society of Lincoln Center’s 2015 Filmmaker in Residence Athina Rachel Tsangari presents her latest feature Chevalier. A deadpan comedy, the film is set aboard a luxury yacht in the Aegean Sea and finds a group of men engaging in competitions to determine who is “the Best in General.”

Laurie Anderson’s The Heart of a Dog

Other films we suggest looking into in the Special Events section are Paul Thomas Anderson’s Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) documentary Junun, and Laurie Anderson’s mesmerizing nonfiction feature about coping with loss, The Heart of a Dog. If you miss Anderson’s film this time around, it will be opening at the Film Forum on October 21. It’s a must-see.

Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow’s portrait of Brian De Palma, De Palma, which played earlier in the festival, is receiving an encore screening on Sunday, October 11. The film features candid discussions with the director about his illustrious career.

In the Spotlight on Documentary section, Stig Björkman’s Ingrid Bergman – In Her Own Words has its final screening tonight. Similar to Listen to Me Marlon, and HBO’s Love, Marilyn, the film weaves in the actor’s actual words, resulting in a decidedly haunting portrait. Bergman makes for an intriguing subject, having much to overcome throughout her life including the backlash from her scandalous love affair with Roberto Rossellini.

Philippe Garrel’s In the Shadow of Women

Tonight also sees Philippe Garrel’s latest In the Shadow of Women. Shot in black and white, the film is about a Parisian documentary filmmaker who becomes entangled in a romantic triangle. One of France’s leading filmmakers, Garrel’s other films include Regular Lovers (2005) and Jealousy (2011).

Towards the weekend comes the U.S. premiere of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s The Assassin. The Taiwanese director’s first martial arts film, The Assassin is set during the time of the Tang Dynasty and stars Shu Qi as an assassin for hire who is on a mission to destroy her former fiancé. The film earned Hsiao-hsien the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival 2015.

Lastly, in a shocking and sad turn of events, the festival is also presenting Chantal Akerman’s final film No Home Movie. News came earlier today that Akerman has passed away at the age of 65. The film is a portrait of her mother during the final years of her life.
