Three tales of love, ambition, and neurosis unfold in the city that never sleeps. In "Life Lessons" (Martin Scorsese), a tormented painter channels heartbreak into his art. In "Life Without Zoë" (Francis Ford Coppola), a precocious 12-year-old navigates privilege and loneliness in a Manhattan hotel. And in "Oedipus Wrecks" (Woody Allen), a man’s domineering mother literally becomes a looming presence over New York.
Editor's Verdict
"New York Stories is an anthology film consisting of three unrelated short films. None of the segments ('Life Lessons,' 'Life Without Zoë,' or 'Oedipus Wrecks') have any discernible connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography. It does not qualify as a Christmas movie."
