The film also stars comedian Jaboukie Young-White. Principal photography on the movie began toward the end of 2019 and wrapped in January 2020, so anticipation for “C’mon C’mon” has been building for some time. The black-and-white photography was lensed by Robbie Ryan, the Academy Award-nominated cinematographer behind Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favourite.”
After “C’mon C’mon,” Joaquin Phoenix will next be seen in Ari Aster’s “Disappointment Blvd.,” which is currently in production. The rest of the NYFF lineup, which already included the previously announced “The Tragedy of Macbeth” from Joel Coen, “Parallel Mothers” from Pedro Almodóvar, and “The Power of the Dog” from Jane Campion, is looking rich, with recently added screenings including Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune,” Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch,” and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Lost Daughter.” Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!
