Yet no one who attends Jonathan Larson's "Rent," the exhilarating, landmark rock opera at the New York Theater Workshop, is likely to mistake it for a wake. Indeed, this vigorous tale of a … [Read more...] about THEATER REVIEW;Rock Opera A la ‘Boheme’ And ‘Hair’

Click here to read the full article. There are concerts, and there are events, and a hometown show in Chicago from a regrouped Fall Out Boy is definitely in the latter category, as evidenced by the line of people waiting outside in a light snow all day Wednesday to try to get inside the group’s sold-out show at the city’s long-running Metro nightclub. “Each album is so different, no matter where I am in my life, there’s an album I can listen to and get what I need,” said Maddie Ozo, 23, of Chicago, who stood in the cold for six hours to try to get on a waiting list. She even has a leg tattoo that references one of the band’s song lyrics. “They’re just my favorite,” she explained.

“A Conspiracy of Faith” is part of a trilogy of films in the “Department Q” series. Read the reviews for the other films, “The Absent One” and “The Keeper of Lost Causes.” “A Conspiracy of Faith” is by far the darkest of the Department Q stories. For this pitch-black series of films, that’s saying something. And unlike the first two, which were set in shadows and darkness, this thriller usually takes place in daylight. Somehow, that makes it more disturbing. Though the previous film had the Danish detective Carl Morck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) on the way to softening — as much as a hunk of granite can — he’s relapsed into misery. But like a snap of ammonia under the nostrils, a new case makes him practically bolt upright. A swimmer finds a note, written in blood, in an old bottle. That message, from a boy being held captive, leads Morck and Assad (Fares Fares) to a reclusive religious sect that harbors a serial killer (Pal Sverre Hagen). While the earlier movies … [Read more...] about Review: ‘A Conspiracy of Faith’ Tracks a Message Written in Blood

In the Italian drama “Nostalgia,” strangers watch the streets from their windows, closing the shutters when the comings and goings become too dangerous to witness. This is Naples, where shadows flit along the rooftops and curtains close after dark. The only figure who seems to move freely through the streets is Felice (Pierfrancesco Favino), a businessman who abandoned the city as a teenager, and who has returned for the first time in 40 years. In his time away from Naples, Felice made a life for himself in Cairo. He’s married; he runs a successful business. But when his mother’s failing health brings him back to Naples, there is no hometown greeting cold enough to distract Felice from the warmth of his memories. In flashbacks, Felice recalls his misspent youth, which was passed alongside his best friend, Oreste. They raced motorcycles and swam in the sea. They committed petty crimes. These escalated to an act of murder. Now, Oreste (played as an adult by Tommaso Ragno) has … [Read more...] about ‘Nostalgia’ Review: Leave Now and Never Come Back

Robert Silvers, the editor of The New York Review of Books, received a lifetime achievement award from the National Book Critics Circle last week, and next month he will get another, from The Paris Review. Neither award is likely to stop the kind of speculation that invariably takes place whenever too many New York intellectuals remain too long in one room: Mr. Silvers can’t stay on forever, presumably, so who is going to succeed him? Rea Hederman, the tall, courtly Southerner who owns The New York Review, says that he has been asked the succession question practically every day since he bought the publication in 1984, and he still has no answer. “Bob is the editor,” he said recently. “When he’s not the editor, then we’ll look for one. It’s not something we discuss or plan for.” Mr. Silvers, who turned 82 last New Year’s Eve, likes to say, in typically formal syntax, that the question of who will succeed him at the “paper,” as he calls The Review, is “not one that is … [Read more...] about Editor Not Ready to Write an Ending

0 Arts & Entertainment The common definition of Gothic in literature is connected with horror and darkness. Press Release Desk , News Partner Posted Reply Press release from Nashville Public Library: June 20, 2021 Sir Walter Scott is probably best remembered as the author of IVANHOE, a medieval novel that helped solidify him as the originator of what came to be known as historical fiction. Like many authors in the 19th Century, he tried his hand at a ghost story published for a Christmastime literary annual – in this case called The Keepsake, and that story is “The Tapestried Chamber,” believed by many scholars to be the first “modern” ghost story, published in 1828. The common definition of Gothic in literature is connected with horror and darkness. The “machinery‟ of Gothic novels includes terror, mystery, the supernatural, death, decay, old haunted buildings, madness, and hereditary curses. The narrative contains … [Read more...] about Nashville Public Library: Just Listen Podcast: ‘The Tapestried Chamber’ By Sir Walter Scott
