Let Us Come To the End of the Century

.
Incredibly happy to see that one of the best movies I've seen this year that I didn't include on my list of this year's best movies so far because I didn't know if it was getting a release is in fact getting a release, in New York and L.A. at least, and it's not too long a wait either -- according to The Film Stage it looks like Lucio Castro's "marvelously elliptical art-house romance" End of the Century is hitting the IFC Center here in NYC on August 16th, and then heading to LA in September. Get ready for Juan Barberini, you guys... 

That quote, the "marvelously elliptical" thing, is from my own review which you can read right here -- I went fairly head over heels for this gay love story that spans decades in a deeply unexpected fashion when I saw it at MoMA's "New Directors New Films" series in April, and I'm hyped I'll now be able to push it more vocally through the end of the year and awards season. Anyway on top of this thrilling release news The Film Stage also shared the poster and the trailer today, and here's the latter:
