Directorial Range

A real NYT article discusses a new film, The Great New Wonderful, about
a handful of New Yorkers a year after the [9/11] attacks as they struggle to cope with emotions - grief, rage, helplessness - that seem inexplicable, and that have no obvious outlet. The director [is] Danny Leiner - known for the stoner movies "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle"....
I don't know if the director is any good, but this will certainly make a Danny Leiner retrospective rather unique -- unless someone discovers that Claude Lanzmann directed this gem.
