Best of Fall 2013: the season’s three best auteur films
| September 30, 2013
Summer is for blockbusters, autumn is for auteurs. This fall, three acclaimed directors bring their signature visions to the big screen
Martin Scorsese: The Wolf of Wall Street
Film’s tiny, fast-talking king directs his post–De Niro muse, Leonardo DiCaprio, as a flamboyant, beyond-rich stockbroker caught in a web of corruption. Cue the Stones tunes. Nov. 15.
Paul Greengrass: Captain Phillips
The former Bourne director, who gave action movies a shot in the arm, directs the tense, true-life story of the 2009 hijacking of an American cargo ship by Somali pirates. Tom Hanks, as the eponymous captain, keeps his crew safe as he awaits his inevitable Oscar nom. Oct. 11.
Spike Jonze: Her
The twisted mind behind Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are directs the equally weird Joaquin Phoenix as a nerd who falls in love with a computer’s voice (with Scarlett Johansson as the sexiest OS ever). Nov. 20.
