Back To Index Autumn in New York
 Barnes & Noble The May-December affair between Richard Gere and Winona Ryder occasionally brightens the otherwise gloomy Autumn in New York, a glossy if overly familiar romantic drama directed by Joan Chen. Gere is appropriately rakish as the 48-year-old womanizing restaurateur who becomes smitten by Ryder, a 28-year-old designer. She soon learns hes something of a bad boy, albeit one worth redeeming. The catch is, shes got a bad heart and could die at almost any moment. The filmmakers give this badly scuffed premise better treatment then might be expected, applying polish with location shots of picturesque Manhattan locations and buffing it to a glittery sheen with nice supporting turns from Anthony LaPaglia, Elaine Stritch, and Jill Hennesey. Ultimately, Autumn falls back on the hoariest conventions of old-fashioned, three-handkerchief weepies, but with Gere and Ryder in the leads, its a great cry.
