Brameshuber's London is almost entirely a car: Bobby, a septuagenarian driver, picks up soldiers, laborers and migrants through a carpooling app on the highway between Vienna and Salzburg, and their conversations sketch a whole society. It is a quiet, observant portrait of human connection under economic pressure, part of NYFF's adventurous Currents lineup. If you like humane, minimalist road movies, add it to your festival list.
What to expect
A festival screening in a Lincoln Center cinema, with an audience of devoted cinephiles. The film unfolds in the confined space of a moving car, with conversations and landscapes passing by.
Good to know
- Take the 1 train to 66 St–Lincoln Center.
- NYFF screenings can sell out; check Film at Lincoln Center for standby options.
- Most of the film unfolds inside a moving car, so it is quiet and conversation-driven.
- Best for viewers who enjoy slow, observational cinema.
