On January 31, Film at Lincoln Center opened a landmark new retrospective titled Frederick Wiseman: An American Institution. The series showcases new 4K restorations of over thirty of the filmmaker's works, which together form a monumental survey of modern American life—with a frequent focus on the intersections of individuals and institutions. Wiseman just turned 95 on New Year's Day, and the FLC series comes on the heels of similar retrospectives in Chicago, Portland, Maine, and Vancouver—with more planned for Paris, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Boston, and beyond. How does one even begin to consider a body of work so sprawling, so rigorous, and so significant? For today's episode, Film Comment hosted a “Wiseman Potluck,” where each guest was tasked with bringing one film that especially resonates with them to the discussion. Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish were joined by Andrew Katzenstein, the author of a terrific new essay on Wiseman for the New York Review of Books; Genevieve Yue, who interviewed the legendary filmmaker for the Film Comment Letter in 2022; and FC‘s very own Michael Blair. The group covered the films Central Park (1990), At Berkeley (2013), Basic Training (1971), Aspen (1991), Blind (1986), and more, and reflected on Wiseman's politics of observation and striking eye for beauty. The Mains: Central Park (3:30) At Berkeley (17:30) Law and Order + Basic Training (23:10) Aspen (35:20) Blind (47:31) Some Desserts: The Store (1983) Un Couple (2022) Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros (2023)

Les Petites Conférences #6 C'est une école pas comme les autres. On pourrait l'appeler « l'école du dimanche ». On peut venir avec ses amis avec les parents ou les grands-parents, en famille ou tout seul, adulte ou enfant, pour rencontrer, écouter et dialoguer avec les plus grands, philosophes, historiens, plasticiens, musiciens, géographes, astrophysiciens, écrivains, mathématiciens, cuisiniers…Tous passionnés par leur métier et leur recherche ont accepté de venir partager leurs savoirs : Ulysse, le Minotaure, les mots, les images, la guerre, l'amour, la mort, la fête, l'amitié, les trous noirs, le langage, la beauté, le temps, la révolte, le fini et l'infini…À chaque fois un pan du monde est touché. Ensuite la conférence et le dialogue avec le public seront publiés aux éditions Bayard dans la collection qui comprend déjà plus de 80 titres et dont les livres sont traduits dans de nombreux pays en Europe et plus loin encore. Cette conférence aura pour thème “Comment devient-on un grand chef cuisinier ?” avec Michel Troisgros. Celui-ci incarne la troisième génération d'une des plus grandes familles de la gastronomie française.Il nous parlera des origines de sa carrière passionnée : les cuisines du célèbre restaurant familial à Roanne, les paysages du Forez, les traditions bourguignonnes, mais aussi la cuisine de sa grand-mère italienne, puis sa formation auprès des plus grands chefs, ses voyages autour du monde et sa découverte de la gastronomie japonaise. Il a construit son identité culinaire en réhabilitant l'acidité et en l'associant aux produits les plus simples. Pour lui, le plaisir se vit dans le partage, l'amitié, la curiosité : une plante, un client, un arbre, ou encore un artiste, un légume, un vigneron, un apprenti, un confrère, un jardinier, un parent, une volaille, un son, un agriculteur…rien n'est indifférent. Un passionné avec une folle envie de transmettre qu'il s'agisse de sa cuisine ou de son potager. Il a passé la main à ses fils César et Léo, et la tradition familiale se poursuit aujourd'hui avec la quatrième génération. Ce cycle de conférences est proposé par Gilberte Tsaï. À lire – Éric Poitevin, Michel Troisgros, Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Servez citron, Macula, 2020. À regarder – Frederick Wiseman, Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros, 2023.

"In the years since the pandemic began, the experience of dining out has been utterly transformed. Coveted tables now disappear seconds after they're released, and influencers dictate what's in demand—or even what's on the menu. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz make sense of our new culinary landscape. The hosts are joined by Hannah Goldfield, who covers restaurants and food culture for The New Yorker. Together, they consider how TikTok is changing the way we eat, and how the rise of Resy has introduced a sense of scarcity and competition into the reservation game. Then, the critics discuss “Menus-Plaisirs - Les Troisgros,” a new Frederick Wiseman documentary about a Michelin-starred French restaurant that offers a very different, behind-the-scenes view of the labor and creativity that goes into fine dining. These examples raise the question of how to balance art with the experience that informs and surrounds it. One answer is found in venues that sidestep the hype, and that remind us of why we dine out in the first place. “I don't need to feel this grand drama of struggle and triumph,” Schwartz says. “I simply want to feel welcomed.”"

Throughout his fifteen-year moviemaking career, director and actor Benny Safdie has been drawn to naturalism and first-time performers. Fittingly, his recent collaboration with comedian Nathan Fielder (“Nathan for You”) was a perfect match. Benny joins us today to discuss their satirical black comedy series The Curse (9:10), the timely premise that inspired the show (13:35), and Safdie's history of capturing real-life personalities on film (15:58). Then, he describes his early connection to the 1979 movie Kramer v Kramer (19:00), a New York encounter with photographer Robert Frank (23:18), and how directors Robert Bresson and Frederick Wiseman opened his eyes to the possibilities of street casting (26:05). On the back-half, we dive into Benny's co-directing work alongside his brother, Josh Safdie (29:55), a heartbreaking scene from their debut feature Daddy Longlegs (34:30), and the projects that followed: Good Time (40:00), Lenny Cooke (42:45), and Uncut Gems (55:00). To close, Safdie talks about why he worked as a boom operator while directing (48:15), his recent pivot to acting (52:35), and his full circle moment of playing an astrophysicist in Oppenheimer (1:00:40).

On the final daily NYFF61 edition of the FLC podcast, director Frederick Wiseman, the United States's unrivaled maestro of observational nonfiction, joins us to discuss Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros, a Spotlight selection in this year's festival, with FLC Senior Director of Programming Florence Almozini. Wiseman brings his camera into a three-star Michelin restaurant in rural central France, and the result is an expansive, delectable, and provocative portrait of the demand for perfection—a surprising but apt subject in Wiseman's decades-long inquiries into the inner workings of complicated institutions that function with their own rules and standards. A Zipporah Films release. All NYFF61 feature documentaries are presented by HBO.

“Every film is a documentary of its own making,” Jacques Rivette famously said, pointing to the mix of fabrication and truth that lies at the heart of every movie. As images increasingly permeate our lives, these questions are ever more complex. What constitutes truth when the camera intervenes? How do we decide to accept—or question—what we see? Film Comment editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute were joined on stage at the 61st New York Film Festival by World Records editor Jason Fox and NYFF61 filmmakers Kleber Mendonça Filho (Pictures of Ghosts), Rosine Mbakam (Mambar Pierrette), and Frederick Wiseman (Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros) for a discussion about the ways in which filmmakers engage both documentary and narrative techniques to invite and challenge viewers' trust in images. This panel expanded on the ideas in Trust Issues, a new audio series by World Records. Watch a video of this event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cH06adWHQs
