In honor of the 75th anniversary of the New York Film Critics Circle, this year’s New Directors/New Films festival will devote a week of matinees to previous NYFCC Best Director winners, selected and presented by current members of the critics group. The can’t-miss of the lineup looks to be the infamously contrarian Armond White’s presentation of Whit Stillman’s Metropolitan, which takes place on April 1. The other critics are David Fear, Marshall Fine, Lisa Schwarzbaum and Peter Travers; the other films are Half Nelson, Big Night, Frozen River and In the Company of Men.
Armond White is not contrarian, get your facts right before you perpetuate lies, and possibly racial prejudice.
Jberto, Armond White may or may not be a contrarian, but he champions Bubble Boy, Norbit movies and idolizes Jason Statham and Paul Walker. If that’s not going against the grain…
And what does that have to do with racial prejudice? Because he is black?! I know there used to be Paulettes but I didn’t know Armond White also had his blind followers as well.
