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.”
