The spring weather was reliably unpredictable, but that wasn't enough to deter thousands of film fans who came out for the opening weekend of theTribeca Film Festival.
For many, the highlight wasBrian Williams' interview with an unusually talkativeRobert De Niro, who shared family stories, reminisced about past projects, and waxed philosophical over politics.
Meanwhile, high-wattage premieres for movies like"The Good Doctor,""Angels Crest"and"Jesus Henry Christ"drew stars and star-spotters alike.
Families gathered for outdoor screenings at the World Financial Plaza, and the very patient waited in the drizzle to grab the last seats at buzzed-about titles like"Catching Hell,"Alex Gibney's empathetic documentary aboutAmerica's unluckiest baseball fan.
Between now and next weekend, you'll find smaller crowds. Among the titles you might want to catch Monday is"The Swell Season,"which charts the offscreen relationship of"Once"stars and co-Oscar winnersGlen Hansardand Markéta Irglová.
TheJulia Roberts-produced"Jesus Henry Christ"is another film getting some attention for its comic take on an unconventional family. And those who've seen"Gnarr"have been charmed by its subject, an Icelandic comedian who becomes mayor ofReykjavik(imagineJon Stewartreplacing Bloomberg).
But should you really want to be part of a jostling crowd, you'll get that chance, too. Monday evening's big premiere is"Last Night,"an intimate, intelligent relationship drama starringKeira Knightley,"Avatar'sSam WorthingtonandEva Mendes. There will be a line for those who don't yet have tickets, but before you subject yourself to the madness, remember this: It'll be screening again, without all the chaos, Tuesday.
