Magic Lantern: Loving Vincent, sex, the queen

OK, so nothing new is opening this week at the Magic Lantern — unless you consider the second-run showing of "Victoria and Abdul."

But along with "Loving Vincent," the gorgeously animated study of a man investigating the last days of the artist Vincent Van Gogh, the theater will continue to screen "Battle of the Sexes" (though for just one more week).

Burying the lead as I like to do, the big news concerning the Lantern is that on Nov. 17 it is scheduled to open two new films: One is a documentary titled "Jane," which tells the story of the researcher Jane Goodall and her work both with the chimpanzees of the Gombe reserve and as a proponent of conservation.

The other? "The Florida Project," the newest film by "Tangerine" director Sean Baker. I saw "The Florida Project" during a recent trip to New York and … well, it's likely to make my year-end Top 10 list. Just sayin'.
