James Gray and Joaquin Phoenix on The Immigrant

This week we’re excited to present a conversation from the 51st New York Film Festival in 2013 with The Immigrant director James Gray and lead actor Joaquin Phoenix, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. In James Gray’s richly detailed period tragedy The Immigrant, set in a dusty, sepia-toned 1920s Manhattan, a young Polish immigrant (Marion Cotillard) is caught in a dangerous battle of wills with a shady burlesque manager (Joaquin Phoenix). James Gray returns to the New York Film Festival with this year’s Opening Night selection Paper Tiger. NYFF64 tickets will go on sale this Tuesday, Sept. 15 at noon, with pre-sale access for FLC members and Pass holders. Learn more at filmlinc.org/nyff
