The night before his 2013 debut feature “Fruitvale Station” hit theaters, director Ryan Coogler sat down for a wide-ranging talk hosted by Film at Lincoln Center.

In his runup to becoming New York Philharmonic music director in 2026, he closes that orchestra’s 2024-25 season next month in Lincoln Center, launches its summer series in Central Park and opens its new season in September.

There are scenes whose dialogue, with a little adjustment, could have served Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, or Carole Lombard and John Barrymore; it’s the world as once scripted by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur or Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder, if not quite to that level, and the combination of theatrical speech and location shooting — in and around New York’s Lincoln Center and the Palais Garnier and Salle Favart in Paris — makes for something interesting.

Unlike last season’s Lincoln Center Theater revival, directed by Lila Neugebauer, this production has a stylistic sure-footedness.

New York also commemorated the rapper with a special edition MetroCard and an orchestral tribute to his music at Lincoln Center, Variety reported.
