The big trio of fall film festivals — Venice, Telluride, Toronto — came and went without the usual amount of buzz. When the 61st New York Film Festival opens Friday night, things may finally be stirring once again. At the same time, the New York Film Festival will play host to easily the best assemblage of movies this year. Part of the continuing pleasure of the New York Film Festival is how it tends to focus attention directly on the films. So it's an especially good place for films that, like “All of Us Strangers,” almost exist in some out-of-time realm.
