SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“Has the rejuvenating powers of its subject. Watching it becomes an exercise in believing. For a while, anyway, it is a wonderful city — and ‘Central Park’ an absolutely glorious picture.”
176 minutes. Not Rated. Directed by Frederick Wiseman. In English. DCP.
Central Park is a film about the famous New York City landmark and the variety of ways in which people make use of it: running, boating, walking, skating, music, theatre, sports, picnics, parades and concerts. The film also illustrates the complex problems the New York City Parks Department deals with in order to maintain and preserve the park and keep it open and accessible to the public.
