James Gray's 1986-set crime drama 'Paper Tiger' opened the 64th New York Film Festival to warm acclaim, marking the first major awards push for the director.

James Gray's 1986-set crime drama 'Paper Tiger' opened the 64th New York Film Festival on September 25, featuring a star-studded cast including Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, and Miles Teller. The film, which premiered at Cannes in May, marks Gray's return to a Hitchcockian style and serves as the festival's opening night selection. Johansson, who missed the Cannes premiere due to filming 'The Exorcist: Martyrs,' attended the NYFF screening despite being jet-lagged from a flight from London, where she is currently shooting 'The Batman: Part 2.' The movie is set for a wide theatrical release on November 13, following a limited release, and is part of Neon's first full Oscar campaign for Gray.
James Gray discusses Paper Tiger, his 1986-set drama inspired by his family history, in which Miles Teller plays a blue-collar father who partners with Russian importers while Scarlett Johansson's character battles brain cancer; Adam Driver is his ex-cop brother.

He explains returning to film stock, casting decisions shaped by schedules, and how personal memory—his parents and his mother's illness—shapes the work, with the polluted Gowanus setting serving as a metaphor for moral rot and a defense of ordinary nobility in cinema.
