PRIVATE FEARS IN PUBLIC PLACES Series: The 44th New York Film Festival [Sept 29 - Oct 15 2006] Director: Alain Resnais, Country: France, Release: 2006, Runtime: 125 Ineffably graceful, Private Fears is a heartbreakingly delicate meditation on loss, uncertainty and love, made with the kind of serene wisdom available only to true masters. The venerable Alain Resnais collaborates once again with British playwright Alan Ayckbourn, and theater and cinema join to make exquisite music. The action is set in a magically snowbound Paris where the destinies of six lonely souls converge and commingle. André Dussollier is the real estate agent smitten with his pious assistant (Sabine Azéma), who moonlights as a home-care attendant for the hell-raising father (an off-screen Claude Rich) of a widowed bartender (Pierre Arditi), who works at a stylish modern hotel bar frequented by an embittered army vet (Lambert Wilson), who parts with his fiancée (Laura Morante) and meets a shy, lovely young woman (Isabel Carré), who lives with her brother, the real-estate agent. Screening at Alice Tully Hall, north side of 65th Street west of Broadway.
