UNCUT GEMS CUTS A TRAILER

We git a trailer for the Safdie Brothers' Uncut Gems yesterday featuring Adam Sandler in a performance that is generating some Oscar buzz.  Here's the trailer from YouTube:


Uncut Gems opens on Dec. 25th.



TRAILER FOR 63 UP

Michael Apted's on-going project of  following a group of people that he first had contact with back in 1964 continued at TFF #46.  Apted has re-visited that group every seven years since then.

This year's version is titled 63 Up and it has a trailer that was released earlier this month.

Here that is from YouTube:




That's your MTFB for this Thursday.  I'll be back after the weekend with more.
