Paul Schrader announced details for his next film at the New York Film Festival, this was revealed during the Q&A for his latest, “The Master Gardener.”
During the discussion Schrader said his next one would be about a “trauma nurse working in Puerto Rico.” He also added that it would very much be akin to his recent Bresson-inspired trilogy composed of “First Reformed,” “The Card Counter,” and “Master Gardener.”
In fact, Schrader is now saying his trilogy will now be a tetralogy, the fourth film in this new Bresson-ian phase of his, adding, “Critics love trilogies, they hate tetralogies, so I better call it a trilogy. If I call it a tetralogy, they’ll get angry at me.”
“The Master Gardener” currently has no distribution yet, and the reviews haven’t been as rousing as those that met “The Card Counter” or “First Reformed,” but no serious cinephile would dare miss this latest cinematic provocation from Master Schrader.
