"The New York Film Festival was a family affair for the Daniel Day-Lewis and Rebecca Miller family. Day-Lewis returned from retirement to co-write and star in "Anemone," directed by his 27-year-old son Ronan, who sent in his film after his mother submitted her five-hour Martin Scorsese documentary, " Mr. Scorsese." New York Film Festival artistic Director Dennis Lim invited them both."
"When we met for coffee the day after the October 4 premiere, Miller couldn't believe that 1,000 people sat still in Alice Tully Hall for five hours without leaving. That may be due to what her husband told her afterwards: "It reminded people of how much they love him." That's what the series does. I'm of an age. I grew up with all these movies. I watched them when they came out, from "Mean Streets," "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore,""
New York Film Festival screening paired Daniel Day-Lewis’s return-from-retirement role in Anemone, directed by his 27-year-old son Ronan, with Rebecca Miller’s five‑hour Martin Scorsese documentary Mr. Scorsese. Festival artistic director Dennis Lim invited both projects. The five‑hour Scorsese piece screened to roughly 1,000 attendees who remained in Alice Tully Hall. Day‑Lewis said the screening “reminded people of how much they love him.” Miller used Scorsese’s extensive archives and interviews, including contributions from editor Thelma Schoonmaker and childhood friends, and secured Apple TV backing after presenting hours of interviews and archival material.
