Well, this is disturbing as hell.

British filmmaker Steve McQueen took a long gap between 2013’s Oscar-winning “12 Years A Slave” and 2018’s “Widows” (possibly because of an HBO series he was meant to put on, but it eventually fell through). Fortunately, he’s already following up the underappreciated “Widows” with a new project and it’s an ambitious one.

Ever since its announcement as part of this year’s Cannes Film Festival Official Selections, Steve McQueen’s “Small Axe” anthology series from Amazon has been positioned as one of the 2020 fall festival darlings. And it appears that is playing out at this year’s New York Film Festival, which will not only debut a feature-length episode of the anthology as its Opening Night film but will also showcase two additional episodes as part of the main slate.

Moments ago, the New York Film Festival announced their Opening Night Selection, and it’s not a title you’d expect. Going in a different direction than at least I anticipated, they’ve tapped Steve McQueen’s Lovers Rock as the Opener.

Mike Fleming Jr Co-Editor-in-Chief, FilmFilm at Lincoln Center has set the Steve McQueen-directed Lovers Rock as the opening-night film of the 58th New York Film Festival. The film will be making its world premiere, and the festival is going heavily into the work of McQueen, who became the first Black filmmaker to win the Best Picture Oscar for 12 Years a Slave.Lovers Rock is part of his Small Axe anthology, which comprises five original films by the director.

So it is fitting that the New York Film Festival would turn to the British auteur to kick off its 58th edition with his new work “Lovers Rock.

After publicly speaking ill of the whole Peak TV era, you didn’t really expect filmmaker Steve McQueen to work on a typical TV series, did you? As we learned with this year’s rather unusual Cannes Film Festival Official Selections announcement for 2020, McQueen’s TV anthology series, “Small Axe,” isn’t your typical series and is instead a group of five feature-length projects that paint a larger picture.
