RSVP to shoptoronto@lomography.com to attend.

More runway action

We got a glimpse of Joeffer Caoc’s spring line when it was presented as part of a group show at the Brick Works on October 14, but designers David Dixon and Lucian Matis’s spring collections remain a mystery. Or, at least they will until November 9, when the Toronto Fashion Incubator presents a show featuring Caoc, Dixon and Matis at the architecturally gutsy Integral House in Rosedale. Tickets for the fundraiser are $100 by calling 416-971-7117 or online at fashionincubator.com.

Frock tale

Last year’s inaugural Frocktail Party was one of the fall fundraising season’s biggest hits, brilliantly offering guests the chance to outbid each other on designer dresses to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

LOCAL NATIVES at Mod Club

Rating: NNNN In this post-Napster music industry, it’s generally a good thing that so many new bands are able do successful club tours without much radio play or, in many cases, a proper record deal. On the other hand, too many buzz bands skipped out on learning how to put on a decent live show, a depressing trend we hope is finally letting up. In the case of Local Natives, the L.A. psych-pop upstarts sound even better live than on their 2009 debut album, Gorilla Mansion. From the passionate capacity crowd to the band’s onstage confidence, there were no hints that this was their first headlining show in town. The lush harmonies sounded even more like CSNY (a good thing, if you’re wondering) and the intricate rhythms hit significantly heavier. Even accidentally giving a shout-out to Vancouver couldn’t put a damper on the BENJAMIN BOLES mood.

BOOKA SHADE at Mod Club Rating: NNN

Booka Shade are well aware of the challenges of performing electronic music live, the biggest being that audiences need to see performers do something more than stare at a laptop in order to not suspect fakery. The Berlin techno duo’s answer to this is to pile a huge amount of gear onstage, includ-

ing a percussion rig, so that the show takes on the air of a rock concert rather than a DJ set. Keeping physically busy is an effective way to approximate a traditional live performance, but Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier are still studio rats at heart, meaning that no gregarious frontman keeps the audience’s attention. That leaves the music itself, which includes some of the most striking electronic songs of the past 10 years. Unfortunately, it was obvious by the set’s end that they’ve yet to equal the triumph that is 2006’s Movements; momentum lagged whenever they BB focused on other albums.

BISON B.C. with SIN DEALER and TEETHMARKS at Sneaky Dee’s Rating: NNN

If you were in need of a supercharged dose of lead guitar theatrics and headbanging, Sneaky Dee’s was the place to be Friday. The snug and sweaty venue played host to Bison B.C., Canada’s answer to Mastodon, who were 10 days into a Canadian tour in support of their newest album, Dark Ages. “Epic” is an understatement. The Vancouver metalheads’ expansive songs stretch toward the eight-minute mark and blaze forward on a crest of intertwined guitar shredding, pummelling moody jams and disorienting tempo and time changes. Vocals, melody and songwriting take a back seat to the insane technicality, which admit-

Dan Mangan, Harbourcoats

Shows that rocked Toronto last week tedly grows tiring after 45 minutes or so. There was also a hefty surplus of hair-whipping (onstage and off), goodnatured crowd ribbing, mosh pit frenzy and diverse local bands, including Sin Dealer, who do a mean White Zombie impression, and metalcore goofballs CARLA GILLIS Teethmarks. PHOENIX at Ricoh Coliseum Rating: NNN Those hoping to hear new songs by French pop rock savants Phoenix didn’t leave the band’s 85-minute show disappointed. That’s not because Phoenix played new material – they recently admitted they’ve recorded “zero minutes” of music since 2009’s breakout smash Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix – but because they delivered a solid, energetic performance despite being at the end of an 18-month world tour. Opening song Lisztomania quickly brought the half-filled bowl on board, as singer Thomas Mars, dressed in his signature collared shirt, got up close with the masses on the floor. Mars interacted with fans throughout, even going so far as to relocate the band to the centre-floor sound booth, e 51 pag where they

did ? t a Wh think you UND

played several tunes, including a cover of Johnny Hallyday’s La Fille Aux Cheveux Clairs. The intimacy gambit proved somewhat ineffectual – without the stage power, the crowd’s attention wavered and many started chatting and texting. Some even streamed for the exits just as hit single 1901’s last note rung out, making you question how many came to hear the hits and how many have given Phoenix’s equally incredible first three albums a listen.

DANCE PUNK

Learning lessons Matt and Kim wonder if we’d be better off living in the moment rather than constantly documenting it By JASON KELLER MATT AND KIM with DONNIS at the Phoenix (410 Sherbourne), Friday (October 29), 8 pm, all ages. $18.50. PDR, RT, SS, TW.

WIN tickets to this show! Enter at

In the midst of banging out a day’s worth of assembly-line phone interviews, Matt Johnson – the affable singer/keyboardist who plays in the anthemic Brooklyn duo Matt and Kim with drummer Kim Schifino – makes the most of our brief conversation. He speaks in short, quote-worthy sentences that sound familiar if you’ve read his recent interviews. “I’m no doctor but I hear it’s about the time it takes to have a baby,” says Johnson of the nine months they spent recording their new album, Sidewalks (Fader). He’s used that humorous, seemingly off-the-cuff remark multiple times. This rote approach is helpful where brevity is concerned but makes you wonder if Johnson’s a bit too mediatrained for his own good, fogging journalists’ attempts at deciphering what Matt and Kim are actually all about. On the surface they look like the happiest couple in the world: in a loving relationship that’s both creatively fulfilling and to some degree financially sustaining. They’re relentless road

dogs with a live show legendary for generating good vibes between performer and audience. Onstage, they grin from ear to ear. But the music – a bouncy minimalist combination of indie rock, hip-hop and punk – reveals less about what makes Matt and Kim tick. While their last studio album, Grand, perfectly captures the zeitgeist of being a young, carefree 20-something living the dream in Brooklyn, Sidewalks’ carpe diem theme is more general. On the song Cameras, Johnson questions whether the kids coming to their shows are living in the moment or too preoccupied with documenting it for later. “Every time Kim and I go on tour, we don’t take photos that much, and I wonder if maybe we should,” Johnson says, sounding unconvinced by his own lyrics. “Maybe 50 years from now, I’ll wanna be able to look at photos and reflect. But it’s nice not to worry about that. I’m just living this right now, diving in and not stepping back a couple steps. “I like to believe that remembering

nowtoronto.com/contests

will be good enough.” If you want to strip Matt and Kim down to their naked essence, look no further than their infamous Lessons Learned video from last year. The viral clip, which shows the pair going buff in Times Square during winter and inspired Erykah Badu’s Window Seat video, will be a hard one to best. “There’s only pressure from ourselves,” Johnson says of making a new video. “I come from a film background and have strong feelings about videos. Lessons Learned is an idea that I had that came out really well. “The same things will go into the next one: a sense of wanting to challenge ourselves and make the best RCM_Now_contests2colx1/5bw_ Junkies_Nov4_Layout 1 10-10-21 3:44 PM Page 1 video we can.” 3 music@nowtoronto.com

Gimme more remixes Steve Lawler got a lot more than he bargained for when he decided to throw a remix contest through his record label By Benjamin Boles Steve LawLer with CarL Cox, Mark oLiver, Leon, DaviD Pher and others, as part of thriLLer at the Guvernment (132 Queens Quay East), Saturday (October 30). $30 adv. theguvernment.com.

UK tech house DJ/producer Steve Lawler is having second thoughts about remix contests. Not that he’s disappointed by the response to the one he’s currently running. It’s more that he’s overwhelmed by how many reworkings of his Gimme Some More single it’s inspired. “The contest’s been absolutely insane,” says Lawler from his tour bus. “I had no idea it was going to turn out to be this big. There’s been something like 1,200 remixes submitted so far, and it’s not even over. “I need to start going through them because I feel like I owe it to [fans] to listen to each one. I probably won’t do this kind of contest again now that I know it’s going to get this kind of response.” Lawler’s considering expanding the number of fan remixes that will get an official release through his label, Viva, to better represent the volume of submissions. Plus there’s always a chance he’ll end up signing some of the aspiring producers, continuing his history of releasing tracks by both unknowns and big names. “People now trust the label enough to check out releases by acts they’ve never heard. I can see the proof in the number of units we’re shipping by unknown artists. Also, one of the ways we introduce new acts is by getting better-known producers to do some remixes on [a newbie’s] single to draw some attention to it.” He’s currently in the middle of a North American tour with a number of Viva artists, which helps justify the luxury of using a tour bus instead of flying solo on planes the way most DJs do. But as much as Lawler’s enjoying

the rock-star road trip, he credits the smaller weekly and monthly residencies that he cut his teeth on for shaping his skills. “Residencies definitely taught me the craft of DJing. You learn how to work a room and build the night

SOUND CHECK

Music fans have their say

the event: Cadillac Lounge Election Party, Monday, October 25 the QUeStIOn: How do you feel about this election?

“Not surprised. I think Toronto will be a worse city in four years.” Ben Monroe

photos By JonAthAn Loek

“Extremely disappointed. I’m not looking forward to the next four years. I told myself if Rob Ford won I would have a drink of whiskey.” Jen O’Connor

“I feel sorry for Toronto to have a mayor like this. Canada is going too far to the right.” Christine Panis

“It was a hell of a roller coaster ride. I’m still happy to be here, but I’m wondering where things are going to go from here.” Astrid Idlewide

“It’s great to see a record turnout. My candidate didn’t win, but I think it was a good representation of people displaying their interest in the city” Winston Robinson

“I’m disappointed in Toronto and startled at the percentage of Torontonians who lean in Rob Ford’s direction.” Norman Yeung

“I’m really disappointed that Rob Ford is in. He’s a convicted drunken jerk and an anti-artist low-life. He stopped the gravy train because he ate it. It’s a dark day for the arts in Toronto.” Alma Roussy

disc of the week

ñJANDEK NNNN

ñVASELINES

Sex With An X (Sub Pop) Rating: NNNN This group must hold the record for lengthiest break between a first and second album. Sex With An X is the Vaselines’ first since their 1989 debut, Dum-Dum. (They broke up shortly after.) If the Scottish twee duo seem like a 90s alternative band, it’s because world-famous fan Kurt Cobain turned his legions onto them by covering three of their tunes. Without Cobain it’s hard to say whether this new album would exist. Frances McKee and Eugene Kelly had

Pop/Rock

BRYAN FERRY Olympia (EMI) Rating: NNN

The Manet-inspired photo of an iced-out Kate Moss on the cover of Bryan Ferry’s first solo album in eight years doesn’t lie. The image throws back to the impossibly glamorous artwork that graced many a Roxy Music record sleeve, and the album’s 10 tracks evoke a similar nostalgia for the cult 70s act’s panoramic art-pop machismo, with an emphasis on “pop.” Much of Olympia sounds straight out of Avalon-era Roxy, despite an array of allstar collaborators: David Gilmour, Jonny Greenwood, Scissor Sisters, Nile Rodgers and ex-Roxys Brian Eno, Andrew Mackay and Phil Manzanera. Somewhat surprisingly, they blend right in with Ferry’s trembling timbre and sensual, textured atmospherics. Despite a few tripped-out pop gems, the album is largely what you’d expect to hear after gazing into Moss’s glassy eyes: a classic sound but not a classic record. Top track: Song To The Siren KEVIN RITCHIE

ñANAGRAM

Majewski (Dead Astronaut) Rating: NNNN Majewski, the third full-length from To-

randy sides to them back in the 80s, and that hasn’t abated. The title track and Mouth To Mouth are prurient pop that demonstrate their knack for writing hooky choruses. Whitechapel, written from the perspective of Jack the Ripper, reveals a dark side beneath the upbeatness. However, the comeback’s standout is poison-dart ditty I Hate The 80s, giving us a well-needed reminder of all that stunk in the Day-Glo decade. Top track: I Hate The 80s The Vaselines slide into the Horseshoe Saturday (October 30). JASON KELLER ronto nihilist post-punks Anagram, is named in memory of noted Oshawa poster designer (and big Anagram fan) Michael Majewski, who died while hiking in Squamish, BC, in 2009. The title’s eerie tribute is the perfect framework for the band’s dark, paranoid style. A stripped-back approach to instrumentation (no sax this time) and straightup production capture the volume and rawness of Anagram’s insane live shows and highlight Willy Mason’s weirdo angular guitar work. Singer Matt Mason still does his militant Ian-Curtis-on-PCP thing. His lyrics, particularly on Those Were The Days (if you can figure them out), are hidden gems, often offering street-level sociological sketches of really fucked-up people. Top track: Evil JORDAN BIMM

MICAH BARNES Domesticated (in-

dependent) Rating: NN As the title suggests, ex-Nylons member Micah Barnes’s newest effort deals with the challenges that come with settling down. But listening to a middle-aged man sing about the surprise of finding love late in life and the realities of coupledom, like meeting the parents, makes for an awkward listen. Produced by Gavin Bradley (Nelly Furtado, Tori Amos), the album’s songs are strong and sweet, if overly simple. Barnes’s power-pop cabaret is confessional in nature and reminiscent of an older Elvis Costello. In radio-friendly tradition, clichés riddle the lyrics, which are so inoffensive it’s difficult to imagine them finding a home outside of light radio. Micah Barnes plays Hugh’s Room Wednesday (November 3). Top track: [Now I Know Why They Call It] Falling KEVIN HEGGE

Toronto Sunday: Duality Of Self (Corwood Industries) Rating: For over 30 years Jandek has been making records – over 60 in total – and releasing them on Corwood Industries, which exists solely for this purpose. In spite of this prolific recording history, it wasn’t until 2004 that Jandek started performing live, embarking on a fairly extensive tour in 2006. This two-disc set was recorded during this tour, at Toronto’s Centre of Gravity. The album opens and closes with instrumentals that feature Jandek on synthesizers, with a sparse backing band providing jazzy counterpoint to his almost New Age compositions. It’s when Jandek’s haunting, earnest voice fills out the sound that things get interesting. Over five tracks (Part One, Part Two, etc), he uses everyday observations to explore serious subject matter, including the titular duality, perhaps a reference to his mysterious public persona. Top track: Part One JOANNE HUFFA

N.E.R.D Nothing (Star Trak) Rating: NNN

Since their debut album spawned several hit party jams, genre-bending band N.E.R.D have spent much of the last decade as a singles act. On their fourth release, Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shae Haley make a concerted effort to keep the party going strong, and they mostly succeed. Lead singer Williams is the epitome of effortless cool: a super-sexy R&B star with deep musical knowledge. Thus, Nothing is horny in every sense of the word; Williams lyrically undresses his lady listeners accompanied by blue-eyed retro-funk and soul-tinged with late-60s psychedelics. The album is overly long, but there’s a straightforwardness to the live-and-loose party vibe that’s hard to resist. Top track: Nothing On You KR

TUCKER FINN The Cup & The Lip (Jane Wayne) Rating: NNN Tucker Finn, formerly of alt-country crooners the Jane Waynes, has taken her time putting out a solo record after the band’s amicable split in 2004. From the sounds of her debut album, the wait was worth it. Inspired in part by a freak accident that saw a car smash into her Toronto home, the singer/songwriter (and film set designer) tackles country music clichés like loneliness, heartache and survival, with frequent nods to the humour inherent in daily melodrama. Co-produced by guitarist Jason LaPrade, the understated songs are fleshed out by poppy bass, drums, keys and orchestral arrangements. Horns, clarinets, strings and backup vocals are a natural fit. Finn’s wordplay works best on the optimistic Great Work Of Fiction, the cute breakup song Almost Calling You and the eerie, imaginative Vertical Road Trip. Still, she walks a fine line between clever plays on form and obvious lyrical traps. Top track: Vertical Road Trip Tucker Finn releases The Cup & The Lip at Revival tonight (Thursday, October 28). SARAH GREENE

& THE AUTUMN LOVERS ñOLENKA NNNN

And Now We Sing (Oh!) Rating: Olenka Krakus is a force of nature. The London, Ontario, singer/songwriter brought a whopping 40 songs to her five band mem-

bers for consideration, and they chose and honed the top 14 for this sophomore release. Besides her prolificacy, Krakus has a rich, deep voice that evokes Natalie Merchant and Dolores O’Riordan yet is entirely her own. Then there’s the way she seamlessly blends eastern European folk influences (she and her family left Poland for Vancouver when she was a child) with pop melodies, orchestral string flourishes, plucky mandolins and indie rock guitar leads (courtesy of standout multi-instrumentalist Blair Whatmore). While all the tunes are thoughtfully dynamic and spin fascinating tales, Clean and Louise Of Littleville capture an extraspecial something. Top track: Louise Of Littleville Olenka & the Autumn Lovers play the Horseshoe November 25. CARLA GILLIS

Electronic

BRIAN ENO Small Craft On A Milk Sea

(Warp) Rating: NNN Legendary ambient pioneer Brian Eno bases his newest album on the idea of film soundtracks, which makes perfect sense given his history as a musician. The tracks here aren’t so much songs as landscapes, meant to evoke imagery rather than narrative. However, despite all his attempts to avoid traditional songwriting techniques and structures, there are a surprising number of actual melodies on Small Craft On A Milk Sea. This is both good and bad. Some of the better moments come when the non-musical textures and drones dominate, even when the tiny glimpses of melody complete them. On the flip side, the more overtly harmonic pieces sometimes falter uncomfortably into generic film soundtrack territory or, worse, New Age. The real triumphs come when beats make unexpected appearances, bringing to mind the left-field electronic music that his new label, Warp, was once revered for. Makes you wonder what Eno would come up with if he ventured into techno. Top track: 2 Forms Of Anger BB 3

BRAN VAN 3000 The Garden (Audio-

gram) Rating: NNN To much of the world, Bran Van 3000 is that Canadian band that had a massive hit in the 90s with Drinking In L.A. and then pretty much disappeared. Dismissing them as a one-hit wonder isn’t exactly fair, though, as they’ve continued to enjoy popularity in Quebec and have, at the very least, remained somewhat on the radar in the rest of the country. However, given the collective shrug that greeted their 2007 album, Rosé, it’s hard not to see this newest release as one last kick at the can. Long-time fans will be happy that The Garden still sounds like the Bran Van 3000 they love. The band still tries to cram a dozen genres (not to mention guests) into each song, and the album comes across more like an eclectic DJ mix than traditional pop. Skeptical listeners will be pleasantly surprised by how many contemporary sounds are successfully grafted onto the formula – this isn’t the 90s retro some might expect. Unfortunately, when a band throws every idea into one pot, not all the ingredients blend well. Instead of saying yes to every impulse, they’d be better off saying no sometimes.

Message in a bottle cap

El Anatsui show comments on liquor trade and colonialism By FRAN SCHECHTER EL ANATSUI at the Royal Ontario

el anatsui has garnered international recognition for his glittering hangings wired together from thousands of flattened liquor bottle caps, displayed in recent major shows in Venice and London. Now the 66-year-old Ghana-born, Nigeria-based sculptor’s retrospective, When I Last Wrote To You About Africa (mounted by New York’s Museum for African Art to open its new

5th Avenue location in the spring) comes to the ROM’s Institute for Contemporary Culture. A vivid visual pleasure, those draped, large-scale bottle-cap “tapestries” – there are lots of them here – reference West African textile traditions and the continent’s creative reuse of metal, as well as commenting on the role of the liquor trade in colonialism. But the show also offers a context for these mature works. Early ceramic sculptures cultivate an aesthetic of broken container forms, some exploding with interior plant-like growth. Prints and paintings show a love of accumulative geometric pat-

tern, as do works made from carved and painted wooden slats, some using Ghanaian adinkra pictographs as lines of text. Especially moving is Akua’s Surviving Children, a gathering of “figures” created during a residency in Denmark from driftwood upright “bodies” and fragmentary “heads” attached with nails from a forge that made weapons for the slave trade. The semi-abstract grouping conveys a strong sense of sadness and dignity.

Sacred Moon is part of Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui’s retrospective at the ROM.

a slew of small metal boxes and a few suitcase-sized ones that Anatsui commissioned from local tinkers and lined with colourful advertisements. In the first-floor lobby, a wall of discarded nail-punched metal cassava graters prefigures the bottle-cap works.

The angular space at the top of the Crystal, broken up for the show by deep blue walls, makes a great setting for Anatsui’s art. How will Robert A.M. Stern’s New York gallery, whose construction delays are our good fortune, compare? 3 art@nowtoronto.com

books ACTIVIST FICTION

Sky falls

THE SKY IS FALLING by Caroline Adderson (Thomas Allen), 309 pages, $32.95 cloth. Rating: NN

caroline adderson has talent but she uses it in all the wrong ways in this story about a naive student of Russian literature who falls in with the wrong crowd. The story opens in 2004, when Jane Z reads a news report that her old friend Sonia has been released from prison. The narrative then flashes back to 1984, when Jane shared a house with political radicals, including Pete the anarchist, Dieter the Marxist pragmatist and Sonia the idealist. As the story swings back and forth between the two eras – in the new millennium, Jane is a literary editor who lives in Vancouver suburb with her doctor husband and their 15-year-

old son – the one-time peacenik recalls her activist days and how Sonia got arrested when a political action went wrong. Adderson wants to be funny, but her portrayal of the radical cadre is ridiculous to the point of being cruel. Pete the wealthy anarchist, for example, promotes an intellectually lazy definition of anarchism, basically defined as “Rules suck – I can do whatever I want,” which wouldn’t wash in a university environment. Adderson has her own past as a peace activist, so some of the episodes recalling the politicos’ silly in-fighting and relationship dramas do ring true. But by the time the group heads to the border for the big action, you’re hoping they’ll fail miserably. As for Jane’s passion for Sonia, Adderson has a fine ear and eye for young lust, but a late cameo from a butch dyke has more than a whiff of homophobia. Jane’s wavering passion for Chekh-

COMEDY FESTIVAL PREVIEW

Sassy ’n’ classy YouTube hit adds attitude to sketch fest By GLENN SUMI SASSY GAY FRIEND LIVE with Brian Gallivan, as part of the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, November 4-5, 11 pm, at the Second City (51 Mercer). Rest of the festival begins Tuesday (November 2) and runs to November 7. Various times and locations. $15-$20, passes available. totix.ca.

“what are you doing? what. are. You. Doing?” Those bitchy opening words are familiar to anyone who’s seen the Sassy Gay Friend viral videos. SGF is Brian Gallivan’s all-knowing, orange-scarf-wearing character who

swoops into Shakespeare scenes to rescue the Bard’s women before they commit suicide (Juliet), get murdered (Desdemona) or take a dip in the river (Ophelia). Gallivan developed the character during his time at Chicago’s Second City. “Originally they were more like monologue rants where I’d yell at Ophelia or Juliet and then they’d simply say, ‘Okay.’ The videos are more back and forth.” His two-show run at this year’s Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival is called Sassy Gay Friend Live, but it’ll be more

than a recreation of the videos. After all, those vids, unlike the dozen less funny imitations that have clogged up the internet, clock in at an efficient minute or two. “I’m going to perform one of them with Lauren Ash,” he says of the former Second City Toronto mainstage performer who joined Chicago’s SC mainstage right after Gallivan left. “She’ll be helping me out in a couple of scenes with new material and a brand-new piece as well. I’m also doing a few audience interaction things where someone comes up and Sassy Gay Friend helps them out with some of the issues they’re dealing with.” The rest of the show consists of autobiographical comedy – stories where Gallivan’s been “a stupid bitch,” the affectionate term he directs at the literary ladies at the end of each SGF video. Speaking of autobiography, Gallivan recently recorded an It Gets Better video to raise awareness about gay bullying. It’s one of the most sincere and personal out there, touching on his reluctance to get involved in acting in high school because of fears he’d be thought of as gay. (He didn’t take his first improv class until he was 30.) The video has generated lots of positive response. “High school kids have written. I got a message from a woman with a nephew who’s coming out and having a hard time and how they’re both so grateful [for the video],” he says. “Even my jaded comedian friends who take nothing seriously have sent me nice messages.” Now based in L.A., he’s working on a number of projects and is happy that people might be more likely to read a script or take a meeting with him because they know about SGF. But would he ever play a campy character like that in a film? “I’m fully willing to be stereotyped or typecast,” he laughs. “Hire me.” 3 glenns@nowtoronto.com

musical review

Mixed magic

“McKenna is, quite simply, perfect.” Victoria News

wicKeD by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie

Wicked doesn’t work if the witches aren’t wonderful. Sounds a bit like an incantation, but it’s the charm for conjuring a successful production of the award-winning Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman musical. The current touring version, the third to visit Toronto, isn’t letter-perfect but still has enough magic to satisfy audiences. Based on the Gregory Maguire book about the land of Oz before a cyclone deposited Dorothy and her farmhouse on the Wicked Witch of the East, the story focuses on the witches of the realm. At its centre is the relationship between Elphaba (Jackie Burns), who becomes the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, and Galinda (Chandra Lee Schwartz), or, as she renames herself, Glinda. At first polar opposites, Elphaba and Galinda develop a relationship that’s tested by their mutual affection for the handsome Fiyero (Richard H. Blake) and also by the power-oriented seductions of the manipulative Wizard (Gene Weygandt). Burns, with a big, bright voice, is a vibrant Elphaba, completely believable as the outsider who embraces her otherness.

Holzman, directed by Joe Mantello (Mirvish). At the Canon Theatre (244 Victoria). To November 28. $35-$175. 416-872-1212. See Continuing, page 66. Rating: nnn

Jackie Burns (left) and Chandra Lee Schwartz are Wickedly good.

Schwartz is better with Galinda’s comedy than with her serious moments, though in two crucial scenes the chemistry she has with Burns gives the production a special fire. She’s less good at communicating the qualms Galinda has as a member of Oz’s ruling elite, a George W. Bush-like administration that quietly creates its own history. The other performers are sometimes good (Stefanie Brown as Elphaba’s needy sister Nessarose, Weygandt’s blandly evil Wizard and Justin Brill’s wide-eyed Boq) and sometimes less so (Blake’s Fiyero and Randy Danson’s two-dimensional Madame Morrible). But there’s lots that thrills in this production, including Joe Mantello’s energetic direction, Wayne Cilento’s exciting musical staging and Eugene Lee’s clock-inspired set of gears, springs and sprockets. Susan Hilferty’s vivid, fantasy costumes are a show all their Jon KaPlan own.

“Spunky dark comedy... with wit and verve!”

WRITTEN BY VERN THIESSEN • DIRECTED BY GEOFFREY BRUMLIK CO-PRODUCED WITH THE WINNIPEG JEWISH THEATRE

– New York Times

From one of Canada’s most produced and award-winning playwrights comes an absurdist, dark comedy spun from a true story. Lenin’s Embalmers tells the captivating tale of Boris Zbarsky and Vladimir Vorobiov, two scientists chosen by The Committee for Immortalization to embalm Vladimir Lenin after his death in 1924, a time when communism and Soviet power were on the minds of many.

OPERA PREVIEW

Acis in the hole Opera Atelier sexes up baroque gem By JON KAPLAN ACIS AND GALATEA by George Handel, directed by Marshall Pynkoski, conducted by David Fallis, Thomas Macleay, Mireille Asselin, João Fernandes and Lawrence Wiliford (Opera Atelier). At the Elgin Theatre (189 Yonge). Opens Saturday (October 30) and runs to November 7, October 30, November 2-3 and 5-6 at 7:30 pm, matinee November 7 at 3 pm. $33$146. 416-872-5555.

for the past quarter-century, Opera Atelier has been dusting the cobwebs off works from the baroque and early classical periods. The productions, directed by Marshall Pynkoski and choreographed by Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg, have been visually gorgeous, musically rich and a lesson in historic performance style. For the company’s new version of Handel’s pastoral opera Acis And Galatea, they decided to do something more: explore the sensual and dark side of a work that’s usually seen as a charming rococo vision of shepherds and shepherdesses. “Acis is one of Opera Atelier’s springboard works,” says Pynkoski, whose passion for the company’s work is obvious whenever he talks about a production. “We’ve previous presented it in Mozart’s richer re-orchestration and later in a semi-staged concert version. This time we want to go beyond the focus on 18th-century style, toward a more dramatic interpretation of the work. “Style gives you a strong foundation, but you can only be obsessed with style for so long before you hit a brick wall. “As a company we’re now trying to tell the clearest story possible, get to its essence by using a simplified period style.” In the case of the Handel opera, that story is of the shepherd Acis and the nereid (sea-nymph) Galatea, with the giant Polyphemus becoming the

third point of a love triangle. When the giant kills Acis, Galatea turns her dead lover into a fountain. “The work is now usually seen as adorable and saccharine,” sighs Pynkoski, slowing down his rapidpaced analysis. “But for all its charm, there’s something deep and elemental about the desires expressed in it. If you look closely at the libretto, you realize that whatever’s sweet about the piece has an ironic edge. Handel knew he was dealing with a sensual, erotic story.” Citing lines from the text that illustrate Galatea’s passionate nature, the director points out that water goddesses are aggressively amorous in Greek mythology. He clearly knows the entire libretto by heart. “She’s in Arcadia, the shepherd world, because she’s obsessed with a beautiful young man. Looking at their relationship from that viewpoint pushes the story in a troubling direction.” In the Opera Atelier production, Acis is the only human onstage. Even the figure of Damon, often presented as another shepherd, becomes an amoral spirit whom Pynkoski compares to the mischief-making Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. “Acis is surrounded by demigods and elemental forces who use him for their own ends. We know from myths that when humans become sexually involved with gods, they’re annihilated. “It’s like a child putting a butterfly in a jar, feeding it and not wanting it to die, but of course it does. Gods, irresistibly drawn to creatures who are finite and understand death the way immortals don’t, can’t help but hurt humans when they interact with them.” 3

the GreAt WAr: the history of the VillAGe of the smAll huts, 1914-1918 ñ by Michael Hollingsworth (VideoCabaret).

Hollingsworth’s black-box style engulfs the audience in total darkness, then reveals fastpaced, highly-stylized, comedic vignettes about Canada’s involvement in World War One. The cast, made to look like ghoulish versions of historical figures, does a stellar job of switching in and out of multiple characters,

while meticulous attention to detail, use of vivid colours and fluid storytelling creates the feel of a graphic novel come to life. Previews to Oct 28.

AidA by Giuseppe Verdi (Canadian Opera Company). Director Tim Albery transfers Verdi’s opera, set in ancient Egypt, to a drab, 1960s militaristic society, vaguely Soviet. The result is sometimes visually striking, more often silly. But Johannes Debus’s conducting and the singers are first rate, especially Sondra Radvanovsky and Rosario La Spina as the ill-fated couple Aida and Radames. Runs to Nov 5: Oct 30, Nov 2 and 5 at 7:30 pm. $62-$281. Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, 145 Queen W. 416-363-8231, coc.ca.

billy tWiNkle: requiem for A GoldeN boy by Ronnie Burkett (Factory Theatre). ñ Burkett’s latest triumph is set in the world of puppetry, the art form he’s embraced and transformed. Jaded, middle-aged puppeteer Billy attempts suicide but is rescued by a former mentor and made to view his life through a puppet show. Burkett’s craft is as astonish-

Last year Robert Lepage seduced Toronto audiences with his nine-hour opus Lipsynch, the centrepiece of Luminato 2009. Compared to that work, Lepage’s The Andersen Project is less an orgy of theatricality than a twohour makeout session. But the passion – and stage magic – is still there. Songwriter Fredric (Yves Jacques) has left Montreal and the breakup of a long relationship to go to Paris, where he’s in talks to write an opera libretto based on the life and work of Hans Christian Andersen. While in Paris, he’s house- and dogsitting for his friend Didier, who lives ing as ever, and his set – dominated by a big cruise ship – is terrifically evocative. And Burkett proves he’s a terrific actor as well, voicing his dozens of characters with love, humour and affection.

Pia Bouman School, 6 Noble. 416-504-7529, dannyandthedeepbluesea.net. DeaTh IN VeNIce by Benjamin Britten (Canadian Opera Company). You’re unlikely to see a stronger production of Britten’s 1973 opera – based on the Thomas Mann novella – than Yoshi Oida’s production. The director handles the work’s psychological and mythic undertows with sensitivity, using the streamlined minimal Japanese aesthetic of Tom Schenk’s set for maximum effect. Conductor Steuart Bedford brings out all the shimmering colours and shadows in the score, and tenor Alan Oke, onstage for nearly the entire opera, handles the demanding lead role with dramatic verve and vocal beauty.

over a video porn arcade. Jacques also plays a harried, fasttalking manager at the Paris Opera, a mysterious janitor and graffiti artist of North African background and, in one magical sequence, a Dryad, a creature from an Andersen tale who longs to connect with people in the big city. Lepage links the characters’ stories using his unique blend of efficient, frequently funny monologue and design wizardry. Projections are effectively used, whether seeming to create graffiti in real time or mimicking a character’s 270-degree turn in a Paris street. The show’s comic high point comes via Didier’s dog, who, though unseen, is given lots of personality via Lepage’s ingenious use of a leash and dog collar. All of this would be empty without a compelling story and characters. The show’s major theme seems to be the acceptance of the dark side of human nature – the Jungian shadow – and he dramatizes it beautifully in the three main characters. Jacques’s layered performance goes beyond merely putting on a wig or hoodie; look for the “how did he do that?” moment when, in a forest, he morphs from Andersen to the Dryad in the blink of an eye. Throughout, the actor carefully modulates posture, vocal timbre and accent, more than earning his curtain call, when he comes out in different guises. But the real magician, of course, is Lepage, who’s created another not-tobe-missed marvel. And remember that his Eonnagata plays for two nights at the Sony Centre next month. GleNN SumI

AN ABSURD ACCOUNT OF FALLING OFF THE CORPORATE LADDER

We’re sold DEATH OF A SALESMAN by Arthur Miller, directed by Albert Schultz (Soulpepper). At the Young Centre for the Performing Arts (55 Mill). To November 20. $31.20-$75.33. 416-866-8666. See Continuing, page 65. Rating: NNNN

To borrow a line from Arthur Miller, Albert Schultz’s unsentimental production of Death Of A Salesman is dark but full of diamonds. It’s a brutal but sympathetic gaze at the unremarkable Willy Loman, a man who has both bought and sold the American dream. Witnessing his psychological collapse, Willy’s equally bereft family moves through the house like ghosts. The stage is cluttered and dim, but there are moments of lustre. The first act moves like a fever dream of unrealized desire, the superb cast playing every far-fetched fantasy for keeps. Joseph Ziegler is a potent mix of brash confidence and hyperbolic doubt. His protagonist is never pathetic, seeming a little too shrewd, even when desperately planting the literal/figurative carrot he’s been following his whole life. Ziegler is tremendous in a pivotal scene with Howard (Brendan Wall), his cocky young boss more interested in his tape recorder. Instead of falling to pieces, Ziegler hovers on the verge of losing it. It’s terrifying to behold. Equally impressive is Michael Hanrahan as Willy’s successful neighbour

Joseph Ziegler (left) and Ari Cohen make the most of their Miller time.

Charley, and Gregory Prest as his übersuccessful son Bernard. Prest gives an especially complex turn, making Bernard more smug than saintly. Typically, these two characters seem like the winners, but Schultz cannily establishes them as cookie-cutter images of achievement with their matching suits, hats in hand. But it’s Ari Cohen’s passionately exhausted Biff that pushes this production to another emotional level. His transition from energetic youth to heavy-handed man-child is wrenching. Amazingly, Cohen never cedes to rage, even when you can see it clenched in his jaw. His Biff hangs on to a tenderness that continually surprises, showing just how much can exist in one person in a moment, bringing this NAOMI SKWARNA Death to life.

actor interview

KATHRYN GAITENS

Gemma Arterton

Gemma’s a gem Actor gets graphic and shows off her Drewe colours By NORMAN WILNER

TAMARA DREWE directed by Stephen Frears, written by Moira Buffini based on the graphic novel by Posy Simmonds, with Roger Allam, Gemma Arterton, Dominic Cooper, Luke Evans and Tamsin Greig. A Mongrel Media release. 111 minutes. Opens Friday (October 29). For venues and times, see Movies, page 72.

gemma arterton is really pretty, but she’d like you to pay attention to her acting. This shouldn’t be much of an issue after her raw turn in the summer thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed, and even less so after people see her in Stephen Frears’s pastoral dramedy Tamara Drewe, which uses her appearance as a plot point.

An adaptation of a graphic novel by Posy Simmonds that was itself based on Thomas Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd, Tamara Drewe casts Arterton as an ugly duckling turned glamorous journalist (something of a contradiction in terms, we know) whose return to her hometown has a seismic impact on

the inhabitants of a local writer’s colony. During an interview at the Toronto Film Festival – our second conversation in as many months – Arterton explains that as much as she loved Simmonds’s book, there were some things that just wouldn’t translate to the screen.

REVIEW TAMARA DREWE (Stephen Frears) Rating: NNN An adaptation of a graphic novel (by Posy Simmonds) that is itself an adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd, Tamara Drewe plops us down at a pastoral writers’ colony disrupted by the return of a young woman to her family home. (Only now the former ugly duckling looks like the stunning Gemma Arterton.)

“In the graphic novel,” she explains, “Tamara has thought bubbles. They can’t make it into the film. They were considering doing that, at one point, but then we thought, no, it would be a bit silly. Stephen and I decided that we needed to have just little tiny moments – not over-egg the cake, but little tiny moments where you see what’s going on in Tamara’s head. And it’s actually very complicated. In her head, it’s chaos.” The actor went a step back to Hardy’s original text to fill out her interpretation. “I actually think Tamara is a modern-day Bathsheba,” Arterton says, referring to Hardy’s character. “For some reason, you want to follow her. You’re charmed by her, but at the same time you say, ‘Ach, you don’t deserve it, you’re spoiled and you’re a brat – you shouldn’t end up with the good guy in the end, and he’s a mug for actually loving you,’ you know? But there’s something charismatic and charming about her that makes you watch her.” When we spoke earlier this summer, Arterton told me she much preferred acting in Alice Creed to appearing in big-budget studio pictures like Clash Of The Titans and Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time. Tamara Drewe, she says, was another pleasure, since veteran director Frears (Dangerous Liaisons, The Queen) challenged her in ways she didn’t see coming. “Tamara is constantly doubting herself and feeling utterly insecure,” she explains, “and there were times when he would make me feel like that. There was one time in

particular where I was doing a scene with Dominic [Cooper], and on that day [Frears] said to me, ‘Stop acting like you’re in Eastenders!’ Which is awful – it’s possibly the worst thing he could ever have said to me, and I was really upset. “I said, ‘You can’t say that! What sort of direction is that?’ But obviously it worked, because I felt shit, and I was doubtful of myself and I was on the brink of tears. He does things like that – but you know, he’s incredible. He’s a master of what he does, and at first glance you don’t see the expertise of his direction. “Maybe in somebody else’s hands, this would have turned into some dodgy episode of Midsomer Murders – it could have been a bit twee. But we care about the characters, and we enjoy it. He’s just a genius.” 3 normw@nowtoronto.com

Interview audio clips at nowtoronto.com

Stephen Frears pitches the film as a classic British drawing-room comedy, with various characters cheating on one another and information travelling back and forth in whispers – someone even overhears a conversation whilst trapped in the loo. It’s pleasant enough, and the performances are sprightly, but aside from Tamsin Greig’s devastating turn as a cuckolded wife slowly crumbling under the strain of keeping up appearances for her narcissistic bastard of a NW husband (Roger Allam), it doesn’t amount to much.

No sting here THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST (Daniel Alfredson). 148 minutes. Subtitled. Opens Friday (October 29). For venues and times, see Movies pages 72. Rating: NN

If you’ve seen the first two adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling trilogy, you’ll probably want to see this. But the franchise has definitely gone downhill with each instalment. This, the third entry, is basically a court procedural in which journalist Mikael Blomkvist’s (Michael Nyqvist)

sister Annika (Annika Hallin) defends charismatic computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace), who’s charged with murder. Mikael’s romance with co-editor Erika (Lena Endre) also gets major play, but the two previous movies give so little attention to the relationship – understandable, given that Salander is so much more fascinating – that it’s hard to care. Salander, in the meantime, is in hospital recovering from injuries she suffered during the killing, which is a major drag. In extended scenes, the already near monosyllabic and antisocial heroine is reduced to, well, just lying there. There is, however, a spectacular pay-

off when she gets dressed for the trial. But even with that superb visual, the courtroom proceedings are pretty dreary and get jacked up only when new evidence – most of it illegally obtained, though no one seems to notice – is entered into the record. As for the climax, it’s so predictable as to be laughable. You feel like you’ve been waiting two hours to witness the obvious. In fact, both the second and third instalments lack the thrill factor, possibly a function of having been made for Swedish TV. See it to complete the story, but know that The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest does not cut it as a SUSAN G. COLE stand-alone.

Imagine more LENNONYC (Michael Epstein). 115 minutes. Screens Wednesday (November 3) at the Bloor as part of Doc Soup. See Indie & Rep Film, page 82. Rating: NNN November’s Doc Soup screening of LENNONYC falls squarely between the 70th anniversary of John Lennon’s birth and the 30th anniversary of his murder. You couldn’t ask for better placement of a documentary spanning the last decade of the ex-Beatle’s life. You could, ask for a better documentary, though. Produced in close concert with Yoko Ono’s production company, LENNONYC offers a fairly superficial portrait of its complex subject, sticking to the established arc of an artist who spent years lost in his own personal wilderness after the Plastic Ono Band floundered, ultimately finding balance as a husband, father and musician just before his death. The darker stuff in the middle, including the alcoholism and philandering that led Ono to exile him to Los Angeles, is downplayed. The title is misleading, as well. LENNONYC isn’t really about Lennon’s love

John Lennon doc offers few surprises.

of New York City, though it feints in that direction early on. It’s a broader portrait, and a familiar one. In covering Lennon’s struggles to avoid deportation as a radical agitator, Epstein also winds up repeating a great deal of

material addressed more effectively in 2006’s The U.S. Vs. John Lennon. It’s worth seeing for snippets of unearthed footage and the recording-session outtakes, but there’s just not a lot NORMAN WILNER that’s new here.

Rating: NNN This well-cast drama about an urgent contemporary crisis – gay-bashing and harassment – plays out as a road movie in which Harry (Jamey Sheridan), a man haunted by an event that happened three decades years before, tries to find his soul.

disaster drama

Shock and awe AftERSHOck (Feng Xiaogang). 136

minutes. Subtitled. Opens Friday (October 29). For venues and times, see Movies, page 72. Rating: NNNN

Feng Xiaogang’s Aftershock – which played the Toronto Film Festival last month – spans some 32 years in the lives of a fictional Chinese family riven by the Tangshan earthquake of 1976, which killed nearly a quarter of a million people. The film opens with an elaborate CG effects sequence, but it’s a bait-and-switch; you come for the disaster and you stay for the character development. The plot is practically Shakespearean in its conception. Forced to choose which of her young twins will be pried from the rubble, a mother (Xu Fan) chooses her son and spends the rest of

her life punishing herself for the decision. What she doesn’t know is her daughter has also survived, to be raised by foster parents in another city. The story skips through the decades, following all three characters as they make their way unsteadily forward. And as they do, Aftershock grows into a thoughtful melodrama about survivor’s guilt and how the weight of the dead can press upon the living for years or even decades after their loss. It’s funny how these things go. Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter similarly opens with a natural disaster, the tsunami of 2004, but the deaths of the teeming masses are treated as an afterthought, collateral damage to fuel Cécile De France’s personal growth. Aftershock understands something its megaplex neighbour doesn’t; you don’t just shrug off an event like this. It NORMAN WILNER never goes away.

On the money INSIDE JOb (Charles Ferguson). 108 minutes. Opens Friday (October 29). For venues and times, see Movies, page 72. Rating: NNNN

Charles Ferguson’s Inside Job takes a very complex subject – the story of the global economic collapse triggered by the 2008 failure of several American financial institutions – and explains it in very simple terms. Ferguson shows that the Wall Street meltdown wasn’t an unforeseeable freak occurrence that laid waste to the market. It was the predictable result of too many junk mortgages, the deregulation of derivatives and the infiltration of conservative freemarket ideologists into schools of economics throughout the

They’ve all been affected by the event, but Harry’s the most haunted. Though everyone calls him Handsome

Harry, he’s living on his own 12 years after a divorce and has a hard time connecting to people.

West. Experts who said this was going to happen were shouted down or discredited. Several of those experts – including former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, who tried to curb the most egregious manipulators as the state’s attorney general – appear to explain the workings of the cynical derivatives market, while a number of small-fry villains turn up to offer shifty defences of their calculated gaming of the system.

Propelled by Matt Damon’s crisp narration, Ferguson’s dissection of the chicanery that brought the world to the brink of complete economic annihilation – and this is not hyperbole – is so easily understood that if you’re not furious by the time you leave the theatre, it’s probably because you were staring at the floor with your fingers in your ears. Which I’m sure a number of U.S. economists, lobbyists and politicians would appreciate. NORMAN WILNER

documentary

Out of gas WINNEbAGO MAN (Ben Steinbauer). 84 minutes. Opens today (Thursday, October 28) at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. See Times, page 78. Rating: NN Once upon a time, a man named Jack Rebney threw an epic tantrum while shooting a commercial for Winnebago motor homes. The raw video of that tantrum became the stuff of legend among TV producers and directors, who shared their tapes with friends. Eventually, Rebney was immortalized on YouTube. That’s the starting point of Ben Steinbauer’s Winnebago Man, which offers a provocative and intriguing premise and does absolutely nothing

with it. It’s a look at outsider stardom that seems to want to explore the concept of cult icons but doesn’t even know where to begin. Steinbauer tells us he wants to find Rebney and see how he feels about his status as an underground icon. But the subject, once located, turns out to be an irascible recluse, half-blinded by glaucoma and obsessed with telling anyone in earshot that Dick Cheney is the most evil man on the planet. (The movie was filmed while Cheney was still in office, so he has a point.) Steinbauer doesn’t want to hear it, though. He just wants to drag Rebney to screenings of his tirade and shoot his reaction, clearly hoping for another explosion of rage that’ll guarantee cult status for his own project. The result is weird and uncomfortable, and not in NORMAN WILNER the good way.

bESt WORSt MOvIE (Michael Paul Stephenson). 91 minutes. Opens Friday (October 29) at the Royal. See Indie & Rep Film, page 82. Rating: NNN

As a child actor, Michael Paul Stephenson had the (mis)fortune to star in Claudio Fragasso’s 1990 horror turkey Troll 2. Now an adult, he’s made a documentary about the cult that’s sprung up around the movie, accompanying other members of the cast and crew to a series of revival screenings – including one at Toronto’s very own Bloor Cinema in 2008. Best Worst Movie, which is getting a Halloween run at the Royal, is good for a few cheap laughs – particularly when paired with its inspiration, which the Royal will screen immediately after Best Worst Movie Friday and Saturday nights. There’s a perverse thrill to be had in watching deluded talents like director Fragasso and actor-dentist George Hardy (who played Stephenson’s father in Troll 2) slowly realize that people are laughing at their work rather than with it – but that’s about as deep as it gets. NORMAN WILNER That said, cheap laughs are still laughs, right?

THE FINAL CHAPTER IN THE TRILOGY EXPLODES

HHHHH

“THIS IS THE THRILLER OF THE DECADE” DAVID EDWARDS, DAILY MIRROR

review YOu DOn’t LiKe tHe trutH:

ñ4 DaYs insiDe GuantanamO

PATRICIO HENRIQUEZ & LUC CÔTÉ Directors, You Don’t Like The Truth

Luc Côté and Patricio Henriquez didn’t set out to be crusaders. Two years ago, when they saw 10 minutes of video footage of Omar Khadr’s 2003 interrogation by Canadian interlocutors at Guantanamo Bay, they just wanted to put something online to indicate their disgust at the treatment of a teenage Canadian by the U.S. military without a word of protest from his own government. But then the full seven hours of Khadr’s interrogation footage were released, and the pair realized they had a documentary on their hands. The result is You Don’t Like The Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo. Just back in Montreal from screening the film in Ottawa, Côté and Henriquez took a few minutes to talk about their work. Has Omar Khadr seen the documentary? Luc Côté: He’s seen it twice. We weren’t there, of course. The first time, he saw it with his lawyer, Dennis [Edney], who told us that he was riveted from the beginning to the end. At the end he didn’t say a word, he just went back into this shell. And Dennis wanted to show it again, one more time, so he sees that there are lots of people around the world who are caring for him and feel that this is unjust. This is an incredible injustice that’s been denounced by the United Nations. You don’t treat a child soldier that way. You don’t put him in jail and torture him. He needs to be rehabilitated. He needs to be back in Canada where he belongs. He was born in Toronto! You just screened the film in Ottawa for members of Parliament. How’d that go? LC: The Bloc Quebecois invited us to do a special screening at the Parliament, and they invited all the MPs. There were some Liberals and some NDP and a lot of MPs from the Bloc, but there were no Conservatives. Patricio Henriquez: Not one single Conservative MP. They don’t like to have another point of view [presented]; in the case of Khadr, and in a lot of other cases, they have their own agenda. This is very sad but not surprising. Democracy is based on dialogue, and dialogue is when you confront ideas that don’t agree with yours. LC: But it was a great screening. We had a good discussion, and we left copies for all the caucuses. If the Conservatives want to see it, they have copies that they can borrow – in French

and in English. PH: I don’t know if Luc told you, but he got a call today from CSIS. They wanted to buy a copy of the film. that must have been interesting. Maybe they’re thinking of suing us, but no matter. I think it’s important that our film could be seen by a lot of people, even them. It’s difficult to get this kind of audience. I’d like to be there when they watch it. Maybe they’ll have questions, and maybe it’s possible to hold a dialogue with them. But I don’t think they will invite us.

(Luc Côté, Patricio Henriquez) rating: NNNN Distilled from seven hours of footage of Canadian minor Omar Khadr in u.s. military custody, You Don’t Like the truth: 4 Days inside Guantanamo puts a human face on a complex abuse of international authority. montreal filmmakers Luc Côté and Patricio Henriquez use Khadr’s 2003 meeting with Canadian interrogators – when the subject was just 16 – to illustrate the impropriety of holding a teenage prisoner as an adult enemy combatant. split-screen commentary allows various observers to explain the mounting legal and psychological stakes of the interviews. Khadr’s now-freed cellmates describe his surroundings in miserable detail, and an american interrogation expert essentially admits Khadr was tortured on his watch. it’s a worthy companion to errol morris’s shattering abu Ghraib documentary, standard Operating Procedure, in that it presents a sickening look at a Kafkaesque holding system designed to intimidate and punish rather than build legal cases and NW prosecute its charges.

ALPHA AND OMEGA 3D (Anthony Bell, Ben

Gluck) offers light laughs and thrills for small children. The animation and 3-D don’t have the wow factor to impress kids over 10, but the story might do the job. It’s about a slacker wolf who loves an alpha wolf who’s out of his league. 88 min. NNN (AD) Canada Square, Colossus, Eglinton Town Centre, Kingsway Theatre, SilverCity Mississauga

THE AMERICAN (Anton Corbijn) is a mostly competent spin on the standard one-last-

CATS & DOGS: THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE (Brad Peyton) is a sequel that only infrequently sets its sights on spy-movie spoofery, preferring instead a string of dopey puns and low-impact animal chases. The action is indifferent and the jokes unfunny. 85 min. NN (NW) Interchange 30

THE CONCERT (Radu Mihaileanu) stars

Alexei Guskov as the former star conductor of Russia’s Bolshoi Orchestra, demoted to janitor three decades earlier for not ousting the company’s Jewish musicians. Now he gets a shot at glory.

Director Goldwyn stages every scene as a potential Oscar clip, exhorting his actors to go bigger and broader with Pamela Gray’s blunt dialogue. The exceptions are Rockwell, whose bipolar character becomes the rock to which the audience can cling, and Melissa Leo, who puts a great deal of depth into a very shallow character. But they aren’t the focus of the film; that’d be Swank, who’s dour and mechanical even when the movie gives her Peter Gallagher’s Barry Scheck – yes, that Barry Scheck – as a sidekick. 106 min.

NN (AD) Coliseum Mississauga, Interchange 30

DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS (Jay Roach) stars

Paul Rudd as a would-be corporate player tasked with bringing an idiot to his bossy’s dinner party, and Steve Carell as his dangerously literal-minded guest. It’s disappointing to see Rudd stuck in a conventional straight-man role, but Carell gets every opportunity to explore his character’s demented innocence. Could be much funnier – and shorter.

ñA FILM UNFINISHED

(Yael Hersonski) is unique among Holocaust documentaries in a very horrible way: the bulk of the footage in Hersonski’s searing exploration of image-craft and cultural memory comes from a Nazi propaganda film shot in the Warsaw Ghetto in May of 1942.

ñIT’S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY

(Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck) takes directors Boden and Fleck out of the dramatic comfort zone they established with Half Nelson and Sugar and sends them into intriguing new territory. In this oddball dramedy, a suicidal teen (Keir Gilchrist) lands in the adult psych ward of a New York hospital. Gilchrist (United States Of Tara) is terrific as the confused young hero, Zach Galifianakis finds new depths in his dull-eyed teddy bear persona as his would-be mentor, and Emma Roberts finally shows signs of being able to break beyond generic pretty-girl roles as Gilchrist’s considerably more troubled peer. Boden and Fleck refuse to give in to the conventions of the snake-pit drama, instead using those raw building blocks to craft an original and thoroughly engaging film. NNNN (NW) Carlton Cinema, Cumberland 4, Grande Yonge, Interchange 30, Kennedy Commons 20, Kingsway Theatre, Yonge & Dundas 24

JACKASS 3D (Jeff Tremaine) is exactly like

the two previous features and TV series, except for the feeble 3-D. Johnny Knoxville and cohorts piss, puke, poop, fart, get hit and take a lot of falls in a non-stop string of gags and stunts. They laugh like loons when someone else gets nailed and look genuinely miserable when it’s their turn. Sample gags: one guy stands still while another hurls a ball into his private parts. Somebody kneels naked in a sty while a pig eat an apple from his ass-crack. The little people’s barroom brawl and the “hold my dog” moments, meant to spoof unsuspecting citizens, are genuinely funny, but the relentless repetition quickly generates mind-numbing boredom. 90 min.

ñJOAN RIVERS: A PIECE OF WORK

(Ricki Stern, Annie Sundberg) shows us a revealing, jam-packed year in the life of Rivers, who’s tireless, tenacious and hilarious even in her mid-70s. Directors Stern and Sundberg leave some areas of her personal life unexplored, along with some of her meaner routines. But you get the sense that Rivers’s life is her work, and she’s as hard on herself as she is on anyone else. 84 min. NNNN (GS) Carlton Cinema

THE LAST EXORCISM (Daniel Stamm)

shuns horror movie clichés and predictable shocks in favour of plausible characters caught in a compelling story, enhanced by solid visuals. A Baton Rouge minister intent on getting out of the fake exorcism business performs his final ritual on a teenage farm girl in rural Louisiana. All goes well until the night turns nasty. 87 min. NNN (AD) Interchange 30

LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA’HOOLE (Zack Snyder) turns Kathryn Lasky’s fantasy novels into an intense, kinetic and slightly insane action movie populated entirely by photo-realistic owls who don helmets and battle gloves. It’s technically dazzling, but the story races from one incident to the next with such speed that the characters aren’t the only ones left breathless. 94 min.

There’s blood and screaming aplenty, but the real horror lies in the story’s long-term implications, as embodied by Richard Jenkins as Moretz’s guardian. Writer/director Reeves trades Cloverfield’s shaky camcorder aesthetic for an austere widescreen elegance that honours Alfredson’s original from the very first frames. 115 min.

Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel as Holly and Messer, co-guardians of the orphaned baby of their deceased best friends.

= Critics’ Pick NNNNN = Top ten of the year NNNN = Honourable mention NNN = Entertaining NN = Mediocre N = Bomb

Mao’S LaSt DaNcer (Bruce Beresford) is

a lead-footed, melodramatic biopic about Chinese dancer Li Cunxin, who visits America as Communism’s ballet prodigy but then refuses to return home, to the dismay of the Chinese Consulate. Beresford touches too briefly on some of the story’s ambiguities. At least there’s some fancy dancing. Some subtitles. 117 min. NN (RS) Mt Pleasant

My SouL to take 3D (Wes Craven) is a

well-made, soft slasher flick more interested in its teen victims than its scares, which are handled effectively but not treated as big set pieces. After 16 years, a killer returns to slay the seven kids who were born the night he allegedly died. Or has his evil soul infected one of the teens? The 3-D is so underused that the movie might as well be flat. 88 min. NNN (AD) Colossus, Courtney Park 16, Grande Steeles, Scotiabank Theatre

NaNNy McPhee returNS (Susanna

White) plops Emma Thompson’s magical British governess down at Maggie Gyllenhaal’s rundown farm to help five cousins learn to work together, respect one another and appreciate the delights of digitally enhanced farm animals. It may be disposable entertainment, but it’s still entertaining. 109 min. NNN (NW) Interchange 30

begin. The movie’s loaded with your typical rom-com squabbling, “Awww, how cute” moments and cartoonish supporting characters like a social worker who seems more concerned about whether the guardians are fucking than whether the kid’s all right. Heigl’s okay in an undemanding role, but she adds little charm. That burden falls on Duhamel, a hunkylooking version of Timothy Olyphant who provides eye candy for the target female demographic. 115 min.

ñLoveLy, StiLL

(Nicholas Fackler) uses elements of magic realism and an intriguing twist to show uncommon insight into the aging experience. When trouble at work – he’s having a hard time keeping up at his age – looks like it will send lonely Robert (Martin Landau) into a permanent tailspin, he finds some joy in his new connection with Mary (Ellen Burstyn). Seldom has a December/December romance been presented onscreen, let alone so expertly. Lovely, Still is a tender story with dark undertones, especially in the third act, and its stars – two of America’s greatest screen actors – know how to make the most of it. Hard to believe this was written and directed by a guy in his early 20s. Required viewing for anyone interested in aging populations, whose issues are among our most urgent. 90 min. NNNN (SGC) Carlton Cinema

ñNever Let Me Go

(Mark Romanek) is a chilly adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel. It’s a science-fiction story with virtually no science-fiction elements; instead, it’s a subdued drama about three people (Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley) trying to figure out the purpose of their lives and come to terms with their limited time – which, of course, means it’s about everyone. 103 min. NNNN (NW) Empire Theatres at Empress Walk, Interchange 30, Kennedy Commons 20, Varsity, Yonge & Dundas 24

ñNowhere Boy

(Sam Taylor-Wood) feels like it could be a Mike Leigh movie about the birth of the Beatles – and that’s a compliment. Taylor-Wood’s character study of the teenage John Lennon (Aaron Johnson, last seen in Kick-Ass) doesn’t hint adorably at greatness to come; it’s just the tale of an angry Liverpool kid who’s wrenched wide open when

he reconnects with his long-lost mother (Anne-Marie Duff) to the disapproval of his protective aunt (Kristin Scott Thomas). Only the scenes in which John tentatively establishes a rapport with some kid named Paul (Thomas Sangster, working a touch more broadly) feel calculated toward Beatles nostalgists, but in a way that’s unavoidable. However ordinary they may have seemed, these were moments that changed the world. 97 min. NNNN (NW) Canada Square, Colossus, Grande - Yonge, Kennedy Commons 20, Kingsway Theatre, Queensway, Varsity

100 voiceS: a JourNey hoMe (Matthew

Asner, Danny Gold) is a musical documentary that looks at the history of Jewish culture in Poland. Some subtitles. 120 min. Canada Square

the other GuyS (Adam McKay) is a buddy-cop comedy starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as a pair of mismatched New York detectives who stumble onto a massive corporate fraud case. As quasi-satirical action movies go, it’s no Hot Fuzz, but it’s a damn sight better than Cop Out. 107 min. NNN (NW) Interchange 30 ParaNorMaL activity 2 (Tod Williams) sticks reasonably close to the elements that made the original so effective, and feels like a genuine companion piece to the first picture. The downside is this is basically just another helping of Paranormal Activity. The use of multiple security cameras allows director Williams to change vantage points and pace the action slightly differently. It also allows for a couple of effective shock cuts. Paranormal Activity 2 doesn’t use dread the same way as its predecessor, which built its scares from the sense that absolutely anything could crash into that static frame at any moment.

reD (Robert Schwentke) doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but as all-star action movies go it’s a lot more fun than The Expendables.

Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren and Brian Cox have a fine time sending themselves up as his fellow codgers, and Schwentke’s sprightly direction keeps the mayhem at a comic-book remove. 111 min.

ñTIBET IN SONG

(Ngawang Choephel) gives the term “protest song” new meaning. It’s a superb documentary tracking Tibetan resistance to Chinese repression. After they invaded in 1950, the Chinese set out to eviscerate Tibetan culture. Suddenly, loudspeakers pumping out Maoist propaganda were installed in every village. Then Chinese bureaucrats cleverly co-opted Tibetan folk songs by applying Communist lyrics to their melodies. Resistance was powerful – just singing the old songs led to arrest. Director Choephel was collecting folk songs when the Chinese sentenced him to 18 years for spying in 1996, and his mother’s quest for his release became an international campaign that freed him in 2002. But Choephel refuses to let his personal story eclipse the larger picture – it’s the music and the freedom it stands for that matter here. Don’t miss it. Subtitled. NNNN (SGC) Carlton Cinema

THE TOWN (Ben Affleck) finds Affleck dir-

ecting himself as the brains behind a crew of Boston bank robbers who’s caught between the life and the heat when he falls for a hostage (Rebecca Hall) from his last job. Affleck struggles to reconcile his own dramatic interests with the demands of the heist genre. The result is an impeccably crafted but tonally wobbly studio picture that’s at war with itself. 125 min.

WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS

(Oliver Stone) tracks America’s looming financial disaster through the eyes of a bright-eyed, morally upstanding money manager (Shia LaBeouf) engaged to the daughter of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), whom you may remember from the last movie as something of a schemer. It’s all a little obvious, especially as interpreted through LaBeouf’s sad-puppy gaze. 132 min.

Meanwhile, Marni’s mom (Jamie Lee Curtis) is shocked to discover that Joanna’s aunt (Sigourney Weaver) is her own high school rival. With the exception of Yustman, the leads do their best with the soggy material, even though there’s little motivation, character or real comedy. 105 min.

ñTRIGGER

(Bruce McDonald) is ostensibly a two-hander for Tracy Wright and Molly Parker as former bandmates reunited after a decade for one very eventful Toronto night. But it’s really intended as a swan song for Wright, who’d been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few months before the start of production. Daniel MacIvor’s script feels like a reconceived stage piece – it’s overly theatrical, but the actors make it work, shaking the material to life and refusing to let go. Wright couldn’t have asked for a better tribute. Trigger surrounds her with friends and loved ones, and lets her rock out one last time. The sadness only kicks in when the buzz wears off. 78 min. NNNN (NW) Carlton Cinema

BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES ñUNCLE

(Apichatpong Weerasethakul) took this year’s Palme d’Or at Cannes. It’s a lovely magic-realist study of a dying Thai man (Thanapat Saisaymar) who welcomes visits from friends and relatives both living and spectral. Shooting with an unfussy vérité aesthetic, Apichatpong crafts a delicate, enveloping spell, creating a world where the intrusion of the supernatural is almost commonplace. There’s a generosity and warmth here that practically radiates off the screen; you can’t help but be pulled along as the director takes his odd, wonderful journey. If you’ve seen Syndromes And A Century or Tropical Malady, you already know and love his distinctive tone; if you haven’t, you’ll pick it up quickly enough. Subtitled. 108 min.

(Alliance, 2009) D: Daniel Alfredson, w/ Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist. Rating: NNNN; DVD package: none

While it works fine as a stand-alone thriller, The Girl Who Played With Fire is a sequel to last year’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. That film introduced the characters and relationship of rumpled journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and brilliant, disturbed and violent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace). You’ll enjoy this one a lot more if you check out the first film. A year after Dragon Tattoo ends, Lisbeth is on the run from a triple murder charge that ties to Mikael’s investigation into female trafficking. Their investigations lead to the spy business and into Lisbeth’s own troubled past. While performances and production easily match Dragon Tattoo’s A-picture quality, the tone is notably different. The moody pauses and absorption in computer investigation are replaced by a more conventional thriller tone. Director Daniel Alfredson delivers some good suspense and action scenes but nothing that reaches the horrifying

Hammer Films owned 60s horror. Sure, AIP had their Poe adaptations with Vincent Price, but those were a direct response to the worldwide success of Hammer’s reworked takes on Frankenstein and Dracula. They upped the ante with sex, blood and colour, propelled by a jolt every 10 minutes, solid British acting and A-picture production values on B-movie budgets. The Curse Of Frankenstein was the first and one of the best. It ditches sympathy for both monster and doctor to

present the tale of a cold-hearted, driven man who will stop at nothing to complete his experiment. Today we’d call him a sociopath. Peter Cushing gives him energy to blow everyone else off the screen, and Christopher Lee’s spastic, homicidal monster has nothing in common with Karloff’s gentle creature. Horror Of Dracula came next. It dumps the romantic subplots and the Count as oily seducer. Lee’s Dracula is purely feral, either motionless and poised to strike or in full-blown fightor-flight mode. He’s intent on one thing only, and the movie tells us that his victims – all in trademark Hammer pushup bras and flowing white nightgowns – love it. The film’s only flaw is its toobright transfer, which ruins the atmosphere, a big part of Hammer horror. Fiddle with your TV controls till the shadows darken. Dracula Has Risen From The Grave and Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed are equally fine entries in the Hammer catalogue. The only extra is a brief essay detailing the other titles in the Dracula series. It’s barely worth looking at. EXTRAS Horror Of Dracula: text essay. Widescreen. English audio; no subtitles. Others: Widescreen. English, French audio; English, French, Spanish subtitles.

Centurion (eOne, 2010) Solid actioner set in Romanoccupied Britain features the last surviving members of the Ninth Legion hunted by Pict warriors as they race to safety. Wild Grass (eOne, 2009) Director Alain Resnais brings his light touch to a romance that hinges on a man who returns a lost wallet and falls for its owner.

The story sounds like fodder for a soap: wealthy industrialist’s wife (Tilda Swinton) falls for her son’s best friend, a chef (Edoardo Gabbriellini), but the treatment turns it into a lovely exercise in pure cinema where gestures and private moments tell the story and lyrical passages – including the best and least conventional sex scene in years – make inner life visible. Swinton, as always, is brilliant at conveying nuanced emotion without words. On their thoughtful commentary, she and director Luca Guadagnino have intriguing things to say about cinema that’s not dialogue-based and I Am Love’s place in Italian film.

Wednesday’s opening-night gala, Community Stories, presents an international selection of shorts, including a pair of contributions from Montreal’s Côtes-des-Neiges neighbourhood and a short film, Bad Blood, from local filmmaker Tyrone MacLean. Some of the programming will be familiar to film festival obsessives. Janelle Wookey’s charming Memere Metisse, about her relationship with her Metis grandmother, has been knocking around the festival circuit since the 2008 ImagineNATIVE festival, but

it’s right at home in the Aboriginal Program on November 5. And Min-Sook Lee’s boneheaded eco-doc My Toxic Baby, which premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, turns up in the November 6 Health Program to infuriate a new audience. Beth Toni Kruvant’s Heart Of Stone (screening November 4), which premiered at this year’s Toronto Jewish Film Festival, follows high-school principal Ron Stone as he tries to save Newark’s once-venerat-

And Jennifer Maytorena Taylor’s New Muslim Cool, which closes the festival on November 6, tells the strange and fascinating story of Hamza Pérez, a Puerto Rican-born ex-convict who embraced Islam in prison as a way of finding peace – only to be snarled in post-9/11 hysteria when the FBI raided his mosque.

In this study, 14,807 women were followed for an average of 9.8 years. In the end, this healthy way of eating resulted in less breast cancer in post-menopausal women. What is the Mediterranean Diet?

The Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, healthy fats (like olive oil and nuts), and fish. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a diet rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and other health-promoting nutrients.

Savage Love By Dan Savage

I love readIng your column and

never thought that I would have a reason to write to you, but to my pleasure and chagrin, I realized today that I could use your help. I’m a 23-year-old woman. I’ve been with my boyfriend for three years, and we’ve lived together for two. We have a very healthy sex life, and the longer we’re together, the better it gets! There is just one problem: he wants me to get really raunchy with his come when I am blowing him. I guess it’s called an “oral cream pie.” Anyway, he wants to shoot on my face with my mouth open, he wants me to let him come in my mouth and then let it drool back out on my chin or his cock, all kinds of things in that vein. I would love to do that for him – but when it’s go time, I freeze and can’t bring myself to and end up swallowing his come instead. Honestly, I think the thought of come bothers me. I can swallow it because once I do, it’s gone and I don’t have to worry about it. But with this, I have to play with it and run it all around in my mouth. I need to know how to embrace his come instead of fearing it so our sex life can continue to grow instead of stagnate on this one thing. Help! Frozen Creampie According to Urban Dictionary – the final authority on all sex definitions these days – an “oral cream pie” isn’t anywhere near as involved a process as your boyfriend makes it out to be. “While receiving a blow job,” says Urban Dictionary, “the alpha male peaks to orgasm – while the male is in the midst of ejaculation, or cumming, the female continues the act of oral sex without removing her lips and/or mouth from the alpha males penis – thus causing the male to cum inside the females mouth, and possibly down her throat while she is still sucking the males penis.”

You gotta love how the alpha male – no blow jobs for you beta males – “peaks to orgasm” all by himself. He isn’t brought to orgasm thanks to the determined efforts of a giving partner. No. A blow job is something alpha males do for themselves. There he is, our alpha male, peaking to orgasm all on his own, when suddenly a woman trips and falls face-first into his lap. Anyway, FC, it looks like you’re doing the oral cream pie already: you’re blowing him; you’re swallowing. Your boyfriend is asking you for what we’re going to call “more.” And this isn’t something he’s asking you to do “when [you’re] blowing him,” but after you’re done blowing him. Because once he comes, FC, the blow job is technically over. Emission accomplished. So he’s asking for a blow-job-andthen-some, an above-and-beyond-the-call post-blow-job indulgence. A couple of thoughts… Presumably, your boyfriend eats your pussy. And when he does, FC, he gets your vaginal secretions all over his face – it’s smeared all over his chin and cheeks and nose and lips. It’s applied gradually, in layers, like a varnish. There’s a big difference between your secretions and his – he comes all at once, in a few massive splats – but if he’s eating your pussy, FC, he’s already doing a slo-mo version of what he’s asking you to do for him. But even so, FC, your boyfriend has to recognize the above-and-beyond nature of the request he’s making. He’s getting head – good, enthusiastic head, too, as evidenced by all the alpha orgasms he’s peaking. And there you are, only too happy to swallow – even if your true motive is to dispose of his semen as quickly as possible. It seems to me that (1) your boyfriend shouldn’t push this oral cream pie thing too hard and (2) you shouldn’t feel too bad if you can’t bring yourself to do this for him any time soon. Your inability to do this one thing – this one

above-and-beyond thing – shouldn’t be allowed to “derail” an otherwise excellent sex life. Your sex life can “continue to grow” even if this particular act won’t be scratched off the boyfriend’s bucket-o-come list any time soon. Do the stuff you enjoy, try new things, continue to grow together. And maybe play with his come a little bit along the way – masturbate him sometimes, or let him masturbate himself, and run your fingers through his come – and perhaps your fears and inhibitions will decrease and one day you’ll be able to enjoy his juices (a word I hate in this context) just as much as he enjoys yours. And he does enjoy yours, right? Because if he isn’t eating your pussy, FC, then you shouldn’t even be blowing him, much less feeling guilty about not gargling with his come after you’re done.

landering father who, despite leaving my mom when I was two, went on to be a pretty good dad and definitely the only moderately stable parent in my life. I wanted his love and approval. I went to law school and married a guy who was, essentially, my dad. They became best friends. Very shortly into the marriage, I fell in love with a woman, realized I’m a total homo and got divorced. I’m still with the same woman and I’m no longer suicidal over my internalized homophobia. Yay. My dad didn’t exactly support my decision, but he has made an effort to get to know my girlfriend and isn’t acting quite as crushed as I know he was when I came out and divorced my husband. However, he continues to have a relationship with my ex-husband. This enrages me. I felt like he sided with the ex at every turn during our separation and divorce, and now I feel like he’s incapable of understanding my feelings.

I’m still friendly with my ex, although I have tremendous guilt issues over not having figured myself out before dragging him into a marriage. My dad’s point is that his friendship with my ex has nothing to do with me. Am I just being a petty bitch or is he being an insensitive asshole? Angry Lesbian Daughter Petty bitch or insensitive asshole, petty bitch or insensitive asshole, petty bitch or insensitive asshole – does it have to be one or the other, ALD? Your dad bonded with your ex while you were married and didn’t regard the divorce as your ex’s fault. Perhaps your dad took your ex’s side because he couldn’t see that the divorce wasn’t entirely your fault, either. You were a victim, too, ALD – victimized by the homophobia you had internalized. The homophobic culture that rendered you incapable of recognizing that you were a lesbian before you dragged your ex into a doomed marriage is ultimately to blame – that doesn’t mean you bear no responsibility – and if your dad couldn’t see that at the time and was insensitive, then, yeah, he owes you an apology. But you brought your ex into your dad’s life, your dad bonded with him as a son-in-law, and it’s unfair of you to demand that your dad cut all ties to your ex. That’s controlling, irrational behaviour – aka petty bitchery – and you should apologize to your dad for it. You have a right to your feelings, of course, and if your dad’s relationship with your ex makes you uncomfortable, it makes you uncomfortable. In this era of divorce, remarriage and blended families, rest assured that you’re not the only person in the world with an ex who’s still, for better or worse, part of the family.
