Lamb is now performing at the Coolidge Corner Theater, Kendall Square Cinema, and AMC Boston Public Theater19
In a remote sheep farm, a childless couple adopted a half lamb/half baby born from an ewe in their flock. This film uniquely blends pantheistic folklore and mysterious quasi-religious colors. There are also some high-profile dramas that are undercut by Iceland's dry humor. Located between the country’s exciting pastures, streams and mountains, Lamb’s quiet and thoughtful pace will draw you to an unpredictable and stunning ending as the story progresses (with little dialogue). In the "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" trilogy produced in Sweden, Noomi Rapace, who was nervous, delivered the same quiet intensity through completely different backgrounds and characters. The film was produced by La Pace and Hungary's Béla Tarr, the master of isolation and immersive cinema. Director Valdimar Jóhannsson has supervised the visual effects of films such as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Prometheus.

Even the hard-heartedness of one of the most severe drama critics, George Jean Nathan, was softened by this script: "From tragedy to comedy, the author realizes it here. This is the gentlest and most interesting childhood comedy in American dramas.” Of course, it should be pointed out that O’Neill dedicated this play to Nathan.
The 1970s were exciting days for all kinds of experimental films, from underground films to real films to avant-garde films by artists such as Bill Viola and Nam June Paik.

Thornton's show started again, opening on October 22nd at the MIT List Center. This is her first solo exhibition in the United States and the most comprehensive exhibition to date. The October opening will include a list center committee and a two-channel video work Hemlock (2021).

Who owns the space? Where do marginal people go to survive? These are the questions Ramanat, who was born in India and lives in Brooklyn, raised time and time again in his works. His materials — corrugated cardboard, cardboard, metal fences, and discarded shipping and freight materials — hint at the composition of shanty towns or homeless camps. His works often explore the lives of marginalized people and those left behind in the rush to achieve global development and wealth. His new work incorporates living plants, which are usually classified as "weeds", mixed with tailored shapes and figures made of foam and plaster, suggesting deprived people living on the edge of society in the 21st century. The persistence and resilience of the population.
The third opening on October 22nd was List Projects 23: Andrew Norman Wilson. This is the first solo exhibition of the Los Angeles artist.
Like many contemporary artists, Wilson integrates installations, videos, film conventions, narratives, and social commentary into works that pay close attention to society. However, Wilson's focus is narrow in some works. He targets specific multinational high-tech companies and how they interact with employees. Workers Leaving the Googleplex (2011) criticized Google, while Kodak (2019) explored how Eastman Kodak and other companies in the entertainment industry use contract labor to produce cultural products.
In addition to Kodak, the exhibition also displays a new narrative video work "Imitator" (2021), which tells the story of a homeless man living on Hollywood Boulevard connecting with the world through Hollywood-oriented conspiracy theories.

Mark Harvey Group will be live broadcast from 7-8:30pm on October 28
Speaking of Mark Harvey (see Aardvark, October 24), tonight the trumpeter, composer, band leader, and retired Anglican priest will celebrate the 50th anniversary of A Rite for All Souls, the Boston music scene Milestones. As an evening theatrical performance, the ceremony was originally performed at the Old West Church in Boston on October 31, 1971. The live recording of the event was "lost" for five years, rediscovered and released on CD in July 2020. The players are Harvey of trumpet and brass, Peter Bloom of woodwind, and the late Craig Ellis and Michael Standish of percussion. This work deploys oral recitations in the eloquent "free" improvisation, sometimes noisy and delicate, and the space of the Old West Church itself becomes a living existence in the "room sounds" captured on the tape. Musicians are responding to the ongoing Vietnam War, civil strife, and inequality in the community.
More than just a music/drama experiment, A Rite for All Souls survived the creator’s intentions as "an aesthetic response to the times and an evocation of the'better angel in our essence'." This streaming event will include Excerpts from the CD, recordings of Harvey and Bloom's conversations with critic Bob Blumenthal, and live Zoom Q&A sessions with audience members. With the book and record "Boston Creative Jazz Scene: 1970-1983" published in 2016, Harvey recorded the abundance of Boston's avant-garde music and music as a social force. There must be a lot to learn from this discussion. This is an example of "living history" that is as important today as ever. Eventbrite is free to register.

Dave Douglas and Kenny Werner at the Scullers Jazz Club in Boston at 8pm on October 29
In addition to modern masters, how else can these people be called? Combining deep learning, commanding skills, and a sense of community (Werner as a teacher and Douglas as a musician-centered record company owner), they are worth listening to in any situation. In this appearance of the Scullers, they compete as a duo. Although they are busy and have different interests and enthusiasm, they rarely appear in the same form twice, so don't sit back and watch this.

With Dorothy, Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Jameson Burt's rival son October 24 (doors open at 7 o'clock, show at 8 o'clock) Blues House, Boston, Massachusetts
Rival Sons included Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Long As I Can See the Light" in an extra track version of their 2014 album Great Western Valkyrie. Like the Bay Area band, the loud, melancholic, and slightly southern sound of Rival Sons in Long Beach conceals its Californian roots. After the first self-released album "Before the Fire" in 2009, Rivals Sons has five critically acclaimed LPs released by independent distributors, and then debuted on major record labels in 2019 with Feral Roots. In these 10 years, the Quartet has polished its classic rock sincerity by supporting AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Sammy Hagar, Kiss and-throughout the 2016-2017 farewell tour-Black Sabbath.

In 1984, Ure and Bob Geldof co-wrote "Do they Know It's Christmas?".

Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils with Hannah Jadagu October 30 (doors open at 6 o'clock, show at 6:30) Royale, Boston, Massachusetts
In 2012, Pitchfork’s Ian Cohen wrote, “Wild Nothing’s second album Nocturne differs from the crowded dream pop nostalgic for the same reason as 2010’s Gemini – Jack Tatum is just the best in this field. One of the songwriters." In the years since, due to the excellent Life of Pause in 2016 and Indigo in 2018 (Annie Zaleski called it "easy Wild Nothing's best album to date in her AV Club review ”) and 2020 EP laughing gas. Tatum's tour to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the re-release of Gemini was originally scheduled to start in January 2020, then May 2020, and then the fall of that year.
These shows are happening now, but what hasn’t changed is that Beach Fossils will join Wild Nothing. They also re-released their 2010 debut album last year. Their 2017 album Somersault contains some popular trends in the genre’s traditions. Good examples of music are the most important practitioners. On November 19, Beach Fossils will release The Other Side of Life: Piano Ballads, which contains jazz versions of previously recorded songs. Band planner Dustin Pessall said: "The other side of life stems from my love for artists such as Lester Young, Chet Baker, Bill Evans and Coleman Hawkins-especially It’s their folk songs...the beach fossils always have jazz elements; chords are rarely played. On the contrary, musical instruments usually play single notes, which are combined to form chords...As for my vocals, I am not a jazz singer, I have no intention Change my style for this record. My idea is to make my vocals the common ground between the original version and these new versions."
The 19-year-old singer, songwriter and producer Hannah Jadagu is on her first professional tour as the opening performance of the WN/BF date from October 4th to November 1st.
