GUEST COMMENT | by Jeffrey Linn
The ‘testification’ of schools in America The latest cheating scandals have led to more demonizing of the public schools. Schools are being castigated for not achieving like those in Finland, Singapore, South Korea and others. Although these countries are outperforming us, their education systems and beliefs differ from ours in a number ways. For example, the top-scoring countries have deemphasized standardized testing and focus instead on recruiting topflight teachers, paying them well, providing a wealth of staff development opportunities, and giving teachers who work with poor kids smaller class sizes. They also provide subsidized day care and social services that diminish the effects of poverty. In Singapore, when a school is shown to be struggling it is paired with a highperforming school, and the teachers and administrators in the stronger school provide support to the weaker school until it improves. An equivalent in our area would be teaming the high-performing, lowpoverty Bay Trail Middle School in Penfield with Charlotte Middle School in Rochester. But when schools are in trouble in the United States, particularly in urban areas, instead of providing support from the larger community, we develop legislation and incentives that encourage competition, not cooperation; we apply punitive accountability standards that label schools as failures; and we deny that market forces and politics have anything to do with these “reform” efforts. Instead we blame teachers, administrators, and students for failing and call for more privatization and for the schools to be run as businesses. This process translates into measurement by standardized tests and has led to a myriad of financial opportunities for the testing industry. As a result, millions of dollars are pouring into companies like Pearson, Houghton Mifflin, and McGraw Hill, who have contracts with states to produce the tests and the software to detect cheating on them. It appears that the business community has found a new market: Pearson and McGraw Hill’s web pages list over 700 unfilled jobs, with titles like test developer, test administrator, data forensics technician, product specialist, test publisher, and content editors. These jobs have been created while thousands of teachers, librarians, and teacher aides have lost theirs. While the testing industry gains jobs it is hard not to recall the unheeded warnings of President Eisenhower, who cautioned the

country about the build-up of the military industrial complex. The same could be true of our latest growth industry, the testing industrial complex. Business must thrive, and perhaps the testing industry is a business opportunity that is too good to pass up. But if businesses expect to extend corporate models into the schools, then they cannot commit to them halfheartedly. Schools and businesses should embrace a model that can be agreed upon by both and produce results. In the corporate world, the gold standard for organizational excellence is the Baldrige Performance Excellence Award, whose criteria require businesses to benchmark their key processes and practices against a high-performing organization. What if education systems, with help from the business community, benchmarked themselves against Finland, Singapore, and Korea? And what if we discovered that these countries increased, not decreased, the amount they spent on education, empowered teachers, provided extra resources to poorer kids, put less emphasis on tests, and provided more cooperation between poorer and more affluent schools? Given these results, would corporations work to support schools and put these practices into place or ignore them because the real goal is to see schools fail so businesses can create profit-making ventures out of them? Education and business can work together if we follow the lead of our international competitors and create partnerships between the haves and havenots. But these partnerships will fail if all corporate America wants from education is new markets, high test scores, and an end to teacher bargaining rights.

rial Art Gallery’s job is to select art on the basis of its mission and accession policy, which are approved and regulated by the New York State Board of Regents; it is not to select art based on the personal life of the artist. The Memorial Art Gallery has every right to select Tom Otterness’s work for their collection based on the value of the artist as an artist and not the ethics of the artist as a person. Judging art by judging the artist’s life would eliminate many of our greatest artists from our museums, from Andy Warhol to Caravaggio, from Picasso to Lucien Freud. Otterness’s wanton cruelty to an animal 25 years ago is a moral decision that Mr. Otterness will have to live with. It is not something that an art selection committee has any need or right to take into consideration. In April 2008, Tom Otterness was quoted in The Brooklyn Eagle as saying this: “Thirty years ago when I was 25 years old, I made a film in which I shot a dog. It was an indefensible act that I am deeply sorry for. Many of us have experienced profound emotional turmoil and despair. Few have made the mistake I made. I hope people can find it in their hearts to forgive me.” His asking his public for forgiveness should be regarded as the beginning and end of this controversy relative to the selection of the artwork. I believe MAG should stand by its selection of art, and that we as a community should stand behind MAG’s and all museums’ right and responsibility to stand by their mission.
background. A second-grade teacher I know has students who do not know their last name, their address, can’t write the alphabet, and are total non-readers. Will this teacher be graded lower when these children don’t test on grade level? Does that seem fair to anyone? DAVE REILLY
Another SOTA?
On School Board member Van White’s suggestion that the district replicate School of the Arts
(September 28): Most schools (I mean those not in the city of Rochester) are not schools that focus on arts education, yet they have plays, musicals, etc. It should be available to ALL kids as the arts helps ALL kids learn. With all due respect to SOTA, creating these specialty schools just creates educational ghettos, just like charter schools. I recently attended a reunion of the first five graduating classes of SOTA, and the stories told by the individuals there didn’t attribute their personal successes on being versed in the arts; it was the sense of community and the discipline needed to succeed. This is why sports can be so valuable as well, whereas using testing as the sole goal students are expected to achieve and how they are valued and judged does nothing but alienate. DAVE ATIAS
Accountability in teaching
Is it the school (I’m sure, partially, yes), or is it the arts? How about concentrating on providing a solid arts education for all RCSD students? How about making that a priority, and understanding that if we meet that very real need that children have, some of the other things will fall into place. E.g.: that a student whose being revolves around music will be much more likely to be at school; and he or she will be happier being there because his or her soul has been acknowledged and nourished. Given City Newspaper’s commitment to reporting on education and the arts, I continue to be surprised at how little the publication remarks on the underfunding / undervaluing of arts education in the RCSD.

in being there. The audition process weeds out children who only have a passing interest in fully utilizing all that the school has to offer them. It is this spirit, not necessarily the arts themselves, that lets those students achieve so much. Perhaps what Rochester really needs to “copy” is a school like the Bronx High School of Science, which requires a special academic test in order to gain admission. The students that have the rigor to study for such a test no doubt have the drive, as well as the support at home, necessary to thrive in such a challenging academic environment. The result is one of the finest public schools in the nation. All that we need to transform, for example, Wilson into such a school is the political will to admit that not all students are created equal and creating a selective school of academic excellence will serve those children better than trying to duplicate an admittedly excellent arts school.

Obama and hope
On a reader’s letter, “False Hope Is Wishful Thinking” (Feedback,
September 28): You hit it spot on when you wrote about Obama’s “absolute unwillingness... to appeal to an American public longing for meaningful change.” The longing is there, the liberal consensus actually does exist (despite right-wing propaganda, and a few genuine, perhaps unsolvable issues of contention). But politics has now been completely turned into sportsas-entertainment: both teams play the same game in the same league, so it doesn’t matter to the owners who wins. You ask “whether or not Americans have enough of the right stuff to back up an articulate presidential appeal on any desperately urgent issues.” But fear is great, and easily manipulated. And confusion is legitimate, indeed inevitable, and therefore open to being preyed upon. The “right stuff” is there, I have no doubt; but the leader won’t capitalize on it because it would change the game (perhaps to “not a game”). So where do we go from here? “The great unknown” is right! MICHAEL CAPLAN

Kodak is still important, but the area economy is not as dependent on the Big Yellow Box as it used to be. FILE Photo
The most trusted name in windows
The one-two punch of Kodakbankruptcy speculation and the city filing a complaint with the FCC regarding Windstream’s purchase of Paetec may be troubling. But there are reasons for optimism about the Rochester region’s economic future. The area’s economy is no longer dependent on the “big three” — Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch & Lomb — as it was 20 or 30 years ago. The region is much more diversified now, said University of Rochester President Joel Seligman at the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council on Monday. Negative news about Kodak has a psychological impact, which may cause people to be cautious about big purchases like a house, says Kent Gardner, president of the Center for Governmental Research. And Kodak retirees who are not yet 65 could lose their health care if the company files for bankruptcy. But Gardner doesn’t foresee a Kodak bankruptcy happening.
And while he says he expects some layoffs to result from Windstream’s purchase of Paetec, startups frequently emerge from the talent of companies like Paetec after mergers. From these transactions, owners and upper management often have the money and time to create new ventures, Gardner says. This is one of the reasons areas like Silicon Valley became so successful, he says: there is a recycling of money and experience. “We could initially lose some jobs, but it could be a net positive,” Gardner says. The Rochester region could always use more people with the experience to start and manage new companies, he says. The raw talent from Rochester’s well-educated workforce is already in place, Gardner says. On a per-capita basis, Rochester ranks first in the number of people with college degrees in math, he says.

Cost of War “We are still the largest market on earth. They need us and I think we need to take advantage of the strength we have left and screw up our courage enough to stand up for ourselves on trade issues.” [ LOUISE SLAUGHTER ]

Free trade, fair trade?
Small business group to form
Free trade isn’t necessarily good trade. President Barack Obama has submitted three free-trade agreements to Congress. House Republicans have signaled they’re ready to bring them to the floor for a vote, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says the Senate should take them up this month. But many in Congress say free-trade agreements do too little to eliminate the barriers keeping American products out of foreign markets. The agreements address tariffs, but fail to address things like quotas on American goods or import licensing hurdles. Representative Louise Slaughter says the agreements pave the way for foreign companies to sell their products in the United States but don’t guarantee American companies the same access abroad. The South Korean government, for example, limits the number of American cars that can be sold in the country, but the United States doesn’t limit domestic sales of Korean cars. “We are still the largest market on earth,” Slaughter says. “They need us and I think we need to take advantage of the strength we have left and screw up our courage enough to stand up for ourselves on trade issues.” Slaughter sponsors the Reciprocal Market Access Act, which has 47 co-sponsors,

including fellow Democrat Kathy Hochul. The legislation would require the trade representative to address barriers in tradeagreement negotiations. The bill also gives Congress the ability to terminate trade agreements when a partner country violates a provision. Businesses can also move to have an agreement terminated. The agreements also exclude labor standards, a crucial point to labor unions. And they fail to address human-rights abuses: in Colombia, union organizers and supporters are killed at a rate of about one per week, and the cases are rarely solved. Environmental protections are also absent from the agreements.

New York’s new tool for troubled properties All it takes is one derelict home or building to drag down a neighborhood. It’s not just about the eyesore factor. A neglected property brings down the value of neighboring properties, is a magnet for trouble, and can discourage other owners from investing in their properties. Cities across New York have struggled with vacant commercial and residential properties and the issues that accompany them for decades. But there’s a new tool to deal with the problem: the state has passed a law that lets cities or counties form land banks. At their simplest, land banks are single-purpose entities that acquire taxdelinquent or tax-foreclosure properties within their jurisdictions. They generally target the worst properties for restoration to productive use. “Typically, responsibility for the worst properties in a city is somewhere on somebody’s list of things that they’re responsible for,” says Dan Kildee, president of the Center for Community Progress, an advocacy group. “But it’s not anybody’s principal occupation.” Kildee was in Rochester last week to talk to City Council members about land banks — city officials are having preliminary discussions about the concept. Kildee was joined by Peter Fleischer, executive director of Empire State Future. “This is a new opportunity that we didn’t have before, so I think it’s a conversation we need to have in this community,” says Council member Carla Palumbo. A land bank could be a more efficient way to manage tax- delinquent and vacant and abandoned properties, she says. And that’s one reason why city officials are examining the idea. City officials are looking at several ideas for addressing vacant properties, says Council member Dana Miller. Currently, the worst are demolished, Miller says, and then the land is sold, transferred, or turned into green space. Houses in decent shape are sometimes rehabilitated by nonprofit community groups. This all happens under the umbrella of Project Green, the city’s program for addressing vacant and abandoned properties — most of which are residential. Land banks typically work with residential properties, though the law doesn’t prevent them from working with commercial properties. Communities have benefited from the land-bank concept.

As treasurer of Genesee County, Michigan, Kildee developed a land bank that was the basis of New York’s new law. Genesee County’s land bank was started in 2002 and has handled 10,000 properties, Kildee says. Land banks let local governments get
revenue from tax-delinquent or foreclosed properties, while also giving them control over what happens with the properties. That’s no small issue. Rochester auctions tax-foreclosed properties to the highest bidder. And it’s possible for a person to purchase a house in fair shape for a low price at auction. There are investors who take these houses, get a certificate of occupancy, rent them out, let the taxes go unpaid, and eventually walk away from the property, Council member Miller says. The city also sells tax liens to speculators for less than face value. Auctions and lien sales have traditionally been governments’ best options for collecting outstanding tax debts, Fleischer says. The new state law gives land banks the first chance to purchase all tax liens or taxforeclosure properties from the founding municipality. Without that ability, the land banks would be forced to compete with better-resourced speculators.
GRAND OPENING
CELEBRATION!
Once a land bank acquires a property, it can
do a variety of things. Its specific functions and priorities would be established by the founding government. It could, for example, rehabilitate a dilapidated house, or search for suitable buyers for tax-foreclosure properties. The land bank doesn’t have to sell to the highest bidder and could instead look for a buyer with a good reputation. The land bank could also take property out of the market, which is another way to make neighboring properties more valuable. For example, the land bank could demolish a neglected property and leave the lot as open space. Side-lot transfers are useful when a neglected property sits between two well-kept properties, Kildee and Fleischer say. Under that approach, the land bank would buy and demolish a dilapidated house, split the land in half, and sell the parcels to the neighbors. The detracting structure would be gone, the adjacent homes would gain value because they’d have larger lots, and neighborhood properties would likely gain value, too. The municipality benefits because the property stays on the tax rolls and because the tax base grows. But land banks do have a hurdle to
overcome: funding. The entities need to come up with money to buy properties and liens, and to demolish or rehabilitate properties. The simplest way is to borrow, which state law allows land banks to do. Kildee started the Genesee County land bank by borrowing $56 million. He bought all of the county municipalities’ uncollected tax debt, collected what he could, and foreclosed on some of the properties. But he also took steps to keep some owners in their homes. He used the money from property sales to pay back the debt and to fund additional projects. But there are other ways to fund New York’s land banks. A new land bank can use a promissory note to buy a foreclosed property from a government. The land bank makes the property marketable, sells it, and uses the proceeds to pay the debt and fund its next project. “You take that and multiply it by 25 or 30 properties, and what you end up with is pretty efficient model: an economic model that can work,” Kildee says. The land-bank concept isn’t perfect, however.
Council member Palumbo sees a parallel between land banks and quasi-governmental authorities and local development corporations. In all cases, appointed board members are put in charge of government

functions and property. The public can’t hold the appointees directly accountable, and the agencies aren’t as transparent as elected boards. Authorities and LDCs have been controversial in Monroe County because of the way they’ve handled finances and contracts. The State Comptroller’s Office recently issued scathing audits of an authority and an LDC, and its reviewing another LDC. “We may all be a little gun-shy about authorities and all that stuff in this community,” Palumbo says. The land-bank law includes oversight requirements that seem to address some of the criticisms directed at LDCs. The land banks and their boards are subject to state open records and open meetings laws. Those requirements are meant to give transparency to land banks’ operations. The law also gives the founding government leeway in setting up the entity’s bylaws, organization, and purpose. The local government would appoint the land bank’s initial board members, and also decide how future members would be selected or appointed. That level of local control and determination may be the law’s greatest strength. The land banks are supposed to consider what’s in a community’s best interest as they do their jobs. Palumbo says that giving city government better control over what’s sold and saved would be an advantage, and may lead to an increase in the tax base.

Old reliables Winfield Grill 647 Winton Road North 654-8990, thewinfieldgrill.com Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-2 a.m., Sunday 10 a.m.-2 a.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH
A few days ago, I walked into the Winfield Grill on Winton Road for the first time, and felt like I’d just stepped out of a time machine. It was a busy Saturday evening, and the tables were filling up with happy families, couples both young and old, and an assortment of regulars. Some of the older patrons, who had clearly been coming to the Winfield since both they and the restaurant were much younger, stopped to give the waitresses a hug and catch up on their way into the dining room. Highly polished dark wood, leaded glass windows, carefully selected post-industrial lighting, sepia-toned photos on the walls, and even the studied casual appearance of the furniture all screamed 1990. In a good way. About 20 years ago, a new sort of restaurant made its debut on the American restaurant scene. This new genre didn’t really have a name, but it certainly had a style: lots of dark wood paneling, brass accents, leaded glass windows, a scattering of antique-ish bric-a-brac to give the place an air of festive age, and a menu that straddled the line between classic bar food, and entrees tailored to appeal to a wide variety of tastes and wallets. Not quite a bar and grill, and a little more upscale than the much-maligned “family” restaurants, this new
breed of American contemporary places with names like T.G.I. Friday’s, and Bennigan’s, and Houlihan’s changed the way a whole generation of Americans went out to eat. The 78-year-old Winfield Grill is such a restaurant. And on any given evening it is justifiably packed with patrons eating from a menu that doesn’t look like it’s changed a whit since the restaurant was taken over by James Pizzicato and Jeffrey Kaplan in 1993. (Kaplan has owned the restaurant in partnership with Christopher DiMascio since 2006.) Open the menu at the Winfield and the clock starts to run backward: loaded potato skins and nachos, taco salads, chopped steak with mushrooms and onions slathered in “brown sauce” with steak fries, mozzarella sticks, French dip sandwiches, crocks of French onion soup, and even the venerable reuben (only in corned beef, alas). As old as these dishes seem, the spot-on, period-perfect renditions offered at the Winfield make them feel almost new again — even the curly kale garnishes look retro and cool. And on a day when you are tired, hungry, and in need of familiar comforts, this is unquestionably and unapologetically the place for you. Start off with a brown-and-tan crock full of
French onion soup ($4.50), mozzarella cheese bubbling and sizzling on top of a thick slice of French bread-soaked broth. The onions here are not as caramelized as they might be, giving the soup a tiny bit of bite, but that’s more than balanced by a judicious quantity of pepper and some sherry, rendering the soup rich, beefy, and wonderfully fragrant. Follow that with a plate of potato skins ($5.95), which are deep fried and
then topped with cheddar cheese and a nearly obscene amount of crumbled bacon before being passed under the broiler. Served with the obligatory cup of sour cream, you could make a meal on these alone (and possibly still have leftovers if you are too greedy to share with others at the table). Need a bit more fried with your cheese? The mozz sticks ($5.50) here are nearly perfect, and they are served with a cup of thick ruby-red tomato sauce that tastes like it just might be homemade. On my first visit, my wife opted for a taco salad ($7.50), largely for the novelty of seeing the old warhorse rolled out again. It came out in the usual gigantic fried flour tortilla basket, loaded to the brim with shredded iceberg lettuce, cheese, sour cream, black olives, and “spiced ground beef” finished with “taco dressing.” It was delightful. The ingredients were fresh and distinct, the dressing and the beef with the barest hint of chili powder — a throwback to a world in which salsa was always red, tacos were always crunchy, black beans were a novelty, and the Mexican section at the grocery store featured only Ortega and Old El Paso. The marvel of our first visit, however, was surely
the chopped steak platter ($10.50). I ordered it on the assumption that if you have the courage to put it on the menu, the chopped steak has to be good. Served with perfectly crisped steak fries, and topped with fried onions and mushrooms, smothered in brown sauce — not demiglace, not gravy, not sauce bordelaise or espagnole, brown sauce — the oversized hunk of chopped sirloin on the plate came out pinkly medium with deep char marks seared into its tasty crust. Oozing juices onto the plate full of brown sauce (which was, I have to say, far tastier than sauces I’ve had elsewhere that sported fancier monikers), the meat had a lovely charred taste and good flavor for such a humble cut. That pool of sauce is an open invitation to abandon the de rigeur Cro Magnon-sized steak knife and fork and attack the spuds with your fingers alone. A final word of praise is in order for the Winfield’s French dip sandwich ($6.75). A French dip is a simple sandwich: good bread, thinly sliced beef, and a bowl of salty au jus in which to dip it. Too many restaurants try to doll the sandwich up, adding cheese or fancy spreads, or putting it on crusty loaves of bread, all of which undercut its simple goodness. Winfield’s takes a minimalist approach to the dish, and the results speak for themselves. There’s no tidy way to eat it, and by the time you have eaten the whole massive sandwich you really won’t care — although you may wonder how you managed to down what looks like a pound of jus-soaked beef and bread in such a short time. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 11

man whose circumstances reveal themselves slowly. Directed by Richard Laxton (he also helmed the 2009 ImageOut selection “An Englishman In New York”) from the acclaimed 2006 novel by Sarah Waters, “The Night Watch” develops in a nonlinear fashion, first stopping in on 1947, then 1944, then 1941, and that configuration may inhibit some emotional involvement as your brain tries to maintain order. But it shouldn’t prevent you from appreciating the heartfelt performances, especially the gorgeously sad-eyed Martin as one of those passionate sorts unable to love anything less than utterly. (Friday, October 7, 7 p.m., Little Theatre)
irst off, I’m thrilled to congratulate all who are planning to exercise the rights guaranteed by this summer’s passage of the Marriage Equality Act. But you’re gonna have to quit daydreaming about your wedding for a minute, because it’s ImageOut time again! October 7-16 will see the 19th installment of the Rochester Lesbian & Gay Film & Video Festival, which this year features 82 narratives, documentaries, and short films from around the globe that shine a light on the lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender experience. Of course, ImageOut continues to offer programs like the Youth Project Film Series, a selection of films free to the under21 set, along with the donation-fueled ImageOutreach, which provides senior discounts, sign-language interpreting, and other services to make the festival accessible to everyone. And don’t forget about the ImageArt exhibition called “rochesterLGBTQcollects,” on display at Visual Studies Workshop through October 23. But you know by now that you can get more information about such things, as well as ticket availability and party particulars, at imageout.org or by calling the festival office at 271-2640. Anyway, I hope you registered for 14 fun-sized movie reviews, because that’s just what I got you! One of those carefully designed literary adaptations that the BBC seems to excel at, the melancholy ensemble drama “The Night Watch” untangles the intertwined romances of various troubled souls in WWII-era London. At the story’s center are two co-workers at what was quaintly referred to back then as an introduction agency. Through Helen (Claire Foy) and Viv (Jodie Whittaker) we meet, among others, Helen’s former paramour Kay (Anna Maxwell Martin) as well as Viv’s brother Duncan (Harry Treadaway, unrecognizable from “Fish Tank”), a skittish young 12 City OCTOBER 5-11, 2011
Here’s an interesting tidbit: in 1995 Sweden became the third country on the planet to legally recognize same-sex unions. Nonetheless, when David (Björn Kellman) falls in love with Martin (Eric Ericson) in the clichéd but adorable Swedish comedy “Four More Years,” there’s a scandal brewing. But it’s not because David is an ambitious politician (which he is), or because he’s already married to a woman (he is that, too). It’s because David belongs to the political party that was just shellacked by Martin’s Socialist Democrats, a resounding defeat that catches David at a time when he was already reassessing his life. Co-starring as David’s no-nonsense wife Fia is Tova Magnusson-Norling, and she’s in charge behind the camera as well. MagnussonNorling is fortunate that the flirty, screwball banter and palpable chemistry between her two charming leads compensates for the fact that she deploys every rom-com chestnut available, with no dating montage, wacky
coincidence, easily avoidable misunderstanding or last-minute dash off-limits. On the other hand, so what? If it ain’t broke... (Friday, October 7, 9:30 p.m., Little Theatre) “The Tents” is not an in-depth portrait of
the circus, nor is it an exposé on the dangers of sleeping outside. For more than 15 springs and autumns these temporary structures went up in Manhattan’s Bryant Park, providing a centralized location for the designers to present their collections during New York Fashion Week. “The Tents” takes a look back at what Stan Herman, former president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, calls “arguably, maybe, in the last 40 years the most important single thing that ever happened to fashion.” Subjective hyperbole aside, “The Tents” is a fertile subject, enabling director James Belzer to hear from a Who’s Who of Fashion, including the always entertaining Betsey Johnson and the elegant Carolina Herrera, on NYC’s journey from rag-trade outpost to a mecca of style. Most fascinating are the peek-behind-therunway scenes where we get to see all the backbreaking toil in the name of effortless beauty. Fashion Week now has a new home at Lincoln Center, and “The Tents” is a fine, fitting elegy. (Saturday, October 8, 11 a.m., Dryden Theatre) TOMBOY Ah, the hallowed boxing film: typically an eloquent metaphor for second chances and dreaming big, but not a genre often represented at an LGBT film festival. But “My Last Round,” the debut feature from Chilean writer-director Julio Jorquera Arriagada, uses the sweet science as a backdrop for the alternately gritty and gentle love story between Hugo
(Héctor Morales) and Octavio (Roberto Farías), one of those fast-moving hothouse romances that encounter trouble when the real world interferes. And it always does. Arriagada’s handheld camerawork follows Hugo and Octavio as they relocate from their small town to the capital city of Santiago, with Hugo hiding his crush on a girl who works with him, and Octavio training on the sly for a fight that could do irreparable physical damage to him. Morales does what he can with the wishy-washy Hugo, but Farías is a magnetic screen presence. With his sexy, banged-up mug, he looks like a fighter, and he deftly illustrates the individual’s struggle to define just what makes a man a man. (Saturday, October 8, 1:30 p.m., Little Theatre) Who wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to reinvent themselves in a fresh place? That’s what Laure does in Celine Sciamma’s “Tomboy,” a lovely French tale of acceptance that unfurls over one idyllic summer. 10-year-old Laure
prefers to dress in traditional boywear, so the androgynous young lady introduces herself as Mikael to the other neighborhood children. Laure’s parents are distracted by the imminent birth of their third child, and her buddies, especially the cute Lisa, have welcomed the new kid with open arms. Should be smooth sailing!
The drama, of course, lies in what will happen once Laure is found out, because cramming a tiny tube of clay down the front of your swim trunks will only fool people for so long. “Tomboy” is anchored by Zoé Héran’s brave performance as Laure, who is simply living the way she wants and crushing on who she fancies, gender be damned. But the film is nearly stolen by the feisty Malonn Lévana as Laure’s 6-year-old sister, resisting the basic urge to tattle on Laure and instead devotedly respecting her sister’s choices. (Saturday, October 8, 4 p.m., Dryden Theatre) Two very different young men on the brink of adulthood, and all the responsibility that it entails, are drawn together in “Harvest,” filmmaker Benjamin Cantu’s exquisitely crafted coming-of-age story set on the grounds of an agricultural school in the German countryside. Marco (Lucas Steltner) is a brooding loner, keeping to himself as he prepares for his final exams. It’s perhaps his stillness that catches the attention of the delicately handsome Jakob (Kai-
work the land, and, most notably, the trust he shows in his actors. They don’t talk when words are unnecessary, recognizing that silence can speak volumes. (Saturday, October 8, 6:45 p.m., Little Theatre) You should know off the bat that the gay thread might be the least interesting aspect of Baldvin Zophoníasson’s “Jitters,” an uneven teen melodrama from Iceland that succeeds in other satisfying ways. Gabríel (the excellent Atli Oskar Fjalarsson) is the one around whom all of the characters orbit, and when he bonds with Markus (Haraldur Ari Stefánsson, so dull) during an educational trip to England, his new pal immediately pegs him as “the cuddly one,” the person to whom his female friends run for comfort. Soon after, Gabriel and Markús share a kiss. Big deal. The way-too-busy narrative amps up back in Reykjavík when Gabriel’s friends enter the picture, each with a problem that contains only the tiniest kernel of truth. But “Jitters” works as a loving example of how tight-knit clans will form among non-related people looking out for each other, and the cast does its very best. The standouts are Birna Rún Eiríksdóttir as the level-headed Gréta and Fjalarsson as Gabríel, who visibly blooms when the possibilities of life open up to him.

“Wish Me Away” recounts
Michael Müller), and their mutual efforts to communicate are as endearing as they are frustrating. Steltner and Müller are actually the only performers in the film; the rest of the cast is made up of instructors and students on the farm where “Harvest” was shot, which gives things an organic neorealism that’s not easy to come by. Also adding to the authenticity is Cantu’s deft use of natural light, his long and leisurely takes depicting what it’s like to
the painful but ultimately exhilarating journey of Chely Wright. WISH ME AWAY (Her first name is pronounced like Shelley, in case you were wondering). Last year Wright became the first major country music star to publicly declare her homosexuality, a major step when your fan base is largely made up of conservative Christians. “I love how much they love me,” Wright says wistfully, and though you can clearly see how it would devastate her to disappoint her fans, neither can she continue on without total honesty. continues on page 14

Co-directors Bobbie Berleffi and Beverly Kopf speak to Wright’s nearest and dearest as well as the gutsy lady herself, who kept a raw video diary as she planned to come out on her own terms. Wright tells of a confusing childhood marked by pleas to God (“Please make me not gay”), followed by an adulthood during which she deprived herself of any real intimacy. But as much as I appreciated Wright’s courage and resilience, I am also truly sweet on her sister and dad, whose only problem with Wright’s sexual orientation — spoiler alert! — is that it made WE WERE HERE her forget that they love her unconditionally.

insightful “We Were Here: The AIDS Years In San Francisco” gets it exactly right, with reminisces from just five eloquent people who came to the City by the Bay in search of a place to belong and enjoyed the freedom they had always dreamed of, until a mysterious form of cancer began claiming the lives of almost everyone around them.
The Queer Noir double feature kicks off with the delightfully nasty “Recipe For A Killing,”
which stars the great French actor WE ARE THE NIGHT Niels Arestrup (you gotta see Jacques Audiard’s “A Prophet”) as Gérard, a brutal vintner who kills his wife over her subpar celeriac remoulade, then hires a young woman (Julie-Marie Parmentier) to cook for him, thinking he can control her, too. But Aline has her own cruel streak as well as a wild fixation on her bodacious girlfriend, and she’s not about to be bullied by some violent old misogynist. The plot of “Queen Bitch” is classic pulp, as a pretty woman stumbles upon getrich-quick scheme that seems too good to be true. Well, almost a woman: Emma (Clément Hervieu-Léger) was born Emmanuel, but she’s been saving money for sex reassignment in Bangkok, and a little counterfeit money can go a long way. “Queen Bitch” time-hops as it demonstrates the unlucky Emma’s various predicaments, with all the twists and doublecrosses you might expect.

Most affecting is Daniel, himself HIV positive, who lost two long-term partners to AIDS but turned his grief into action, founding a pair of nonprofits to raise money for the fight. As a matter of fact, each of the interviewees, from the soft-spoken Ed, who became a counselor to those stricken with the disease, to Eileen, a tireless nurse, rolled up their shirtsleeves and began caring for the makeshift families that embraced them after being rejected by their blood ties. Incorporating a trove of archival images, co-directors David Weissman and Bill Weber have documented a significant part of gay history, part somber memory, part galvanizing moment. (Monday, October 10, 6:30 p.m., Little Theatre) Dennis Gansel’s German vampire flick “We Are The Night” has nothing to say about the current state of lesbianism, so you may as well just appreciate it for the dazzlingly trashy diversion that it is. But the opening shot is rather slick: the camera swirls through a plane full of dead people as furry, hot-pink boots kick sassily in the background. The footwear belongs
to Nora (Anna Fischer), part of a bloodsucking trio who we will get to know better after their leader Louise (Nina Hoss) becomes obsessed with a grungy urchin named Lena (Karoline Herfurth, “The Reader”). Lena cleans up quite well once she’s been turned, but the newest vampire still has a conscience along with a soft spot for
a woman looking for a relationship. The darling Lisa Haas plays Jane, a store clerk who we first meet during a therapy session as she’s describing a possible alien encounter, which her therapist dismisses as a dream. But sometimes dreams do come true, and Jane falls hard for Zoinx (Susan Ziegler), who came from the planet Zots to get her heart permanently broken because “big feelings” can damage the Zotsian ozone — oh, never mind. The science is merely a plot device to get Zoinx and her friends Zylar and Barr to Earth so they too can experience CODEPENDENT LESBIAN SPACE ALIEN SEEKS SAME delirious romance and wanton the enticing cop investigating their trail nose-touching, and we can revel in their of bodies. The third vampire, Charlotte Conehead-like outfits along with some very (Jennifer Ulrich), actually has a heartbreaking DIY special effects.

But until that day comes, “Men In Black”-type agent, but this film you’ll have to be happy with swanky clothes, belongs to the ladies.

After a young mother suddenly dies (remember: no one in films so much as sneezes without a dire reason), her busy lawyer husband Leo (Juan Diego Botto) tries to act as both father and mother to their young daughter, Dafne (the doll-faced Lucía Fernández Ramos). But what was merely figurative becomes literal, as Dafne convinces her father to use a wig, then lipstick, and before long he’s making himself up to look like his late wife. Naturally, Leo’s homophobia had reared its ugly head in front of the drag performer whose cosmetic help he solicits, enabling writer-director Achero Mañas to lay on the lessons with a trowel, even subjecting Leo to a random hate crime. What’s best here is the scenes between Botto and little Ramos; I don’t know how a director gets such a small child to give such a wise performance, but that’s the heart of the film. Leo thinks he’s helping his daughter cope, but she might be the one who caused the healing. (Wednesday, October 12, 9 p.m., Little Theatre) It’s hard not to adore a low-budget labor of love like Madeleine Olnek’s “Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same,”
which blends cheesy 50’s sci-fi with a contemporary romantic comedy about
ImageOut’s Closing Night selection is Ferzan Ozpetek’s lovingly broad comedy of manners entitled “Loose Cannons,” which drops in on a noisy Italian family in upheaval. Vincenzo Cantone (Ennio Fantastichini) is looking to retire as the head of his pasta company, and he’s got two capable sons on deck. But Tommaso (distractingly green-eyed Riccardo Scamarcio, “The Best Of Youth”) is not interested; an aspiring writer, he enjoys a full life back in Rome with his partner, Marco. Tommaso knows his dad will freak out once he learns that he has a gay son, so why not announce his homosexuality at dinner and saddle his older brother, Antonio (Alessandro Preziosi), with the job? Not so fast; Antonio has some dealbreaking news of his own, and “Loose Cannons” unfolds as Tommaso reluctantly takes over the factory, counsels a family distraught over Antonio’s revelations, and tries to tend to his now long-distance relationship with Marco while keeping the secret he had hoped to get off his chest. It’s really nothing you haven’t seen before, but there are worse ways to pass the time than with an attractive cast, lush Mediterranean scenery, and a message summed up by Tommaso’s savvy nonna: “If you always do what others want, life’s not worth living.” (Saturday, October 15, 7:30 p.m., Dryden Theatre)

outfit Eve To Adam. The group has experienced some career ups and downs, but is currently riding high due to some welldeserved industry buzz regarding its new single, “Run Your Mouth,” and album, “Banquet for a Starving Dog.” Both seem to exhibit sort of a throwback quality to aggressive and anthemic guitar-driven bands of the 90’s like Soundgarden or Guns N’ Roses, although there’s also a Bon Jovi-like crossover element in the group’s sound. ETA’s music is hard but not too heavy, and that’s a formula that ought to appeal to both classic- and modern-rock sides of the street. With Fire Red, Keaton, and Starlight Cities. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

considers the violin his most trusted weapon. Often adorned in a suit on stage, he showcases the instrument, playing various melodies before electronically manipulating things, looping one layer of strings over another to create depths of enveloping sound. There are traditional rock elements at play contributed by his band mates, but Bird covers most of the sound himself, often seeming a one-man band. He’ll play his violin and loop it before dropping it and grabbing the guitar slung over his back. Then he’ll address the mic and use his trademark whistle melodies to add further depth to songs, well before even considering starting in on his intelligent, oftentimes scientific lyrics. — BY DAVE LABARGE

Dub orchestral [ review ] by frank de blase
I’ve given Jackson Browne plenty of chances — I’ve seen him live four times now — but it’s official: the guy is boring. His show at the Auditorium Theatre on Friday was a yawn fest, but his fans ate it up. I have to admit, Browne has the best live acoustic guitar sound I’ve ever heard. It’s warm, sweet, and full, and not the least bit tinny, as is often the case. At this show it was Browne a la carte with just a piano and a row of guitars lined up like Rockettes to keep him warm. Genuinely a nice dude, but no edge. Perhaps he was running on empty. Made my way toward the tall buildings and Water Street Music Hall for Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad’s packed show. The Prickers — a hot acoustically rooted outfit from Naples — had the crowd on the ropes, poised for the K.O. This band was full throttle despite being seated for the most part. There was Tin Pan Alley, bluegrass, and blues that came off as an energetic, albeit stationary, parade. What a great warm up for GPGDS, which mounted the stage to loud cheers. The band rocked out a solid set with minimal
breaks. It was almost orchestral — dub orchestral, if you will — and relentless. The band was tighter than Tura Satana’s blouse, and equally as arresting. Saturday night was chocolate milk and pizza night for me at Lovin’ Cup. Rochester’s sultans of suds, The Sisters of Murphy, and Rochester’s sultans of surf, The Isotopes, served as the soundtrack. The Murphys are a ton of fun, playing a hot-rodded hybrid of Celtic music and rock. It kind of reminded me of Irish dynamos like Flogging Molly, just not as manic and a tad more accessible. And it’s a self-sufficient strain, too, as the band drank to songs sung about drinking; one leads to the other, or vice-versa. The Topes followed, opening Dorsey-style with “Sing, Sing, Sing,” which the group doesn’t, doesn’t, doesn’t, what with being an instrumental band and all. Part Dick Dale, part Ywngie, it was a wild guitar-driven shred fest complete with go-go girls who simply didn’t stop-stop. And the band put the mental in instrumental when it tackled tunes like Edgar Winter’s “Frankenstein.”

Music Is “Green Naugahyde” for the diehard Primus fans or for new fans?
You never know, but you always hope there are going to be new fans, because that sort of tells you if you’re still writing stuff people want to hear. We’ve never really put much thought into where it was going when we made records — which has worked for us and against us over time — we just do what we do and hope people are into it. We’ve lucked out most of the time. Primus itself is such an influence. What bands influenced Primus early on?
I think when we first got started, the bands we had in common were groups like Yes and Rush. Over the years you’re always trying to find new music, find new things, new/old things. When we first started, Les was into The Residents and when I heard that I got way into it. Lots of experimental music, lots of experimental things. Things you weren’t going to hear on the radio.
Influential alt-rock band Primus is back with its first new album in 11 years. Catch the band this weekend at Main Street Armory. PHOTO PROVIDED
Speaking Primus Primus Saturday, October 8 Main Street Armory, 900 E. Main St. 8:30 p.m. | $38.50-$45 | rochestermainstreetarmory.com Primusville.com [ REVIEW ] By Frank De Blase
With one of the most distinct sounds in contemporary music, Primus is practically its own adjective for what it does. It could be said that any band that plays with bass-heavy rhythm, fractured time signatures, and chords that have no name or discernable origin is playing Primus — though most bands would undoubtedly fall short. Only Primus can play Primus. Since 1984 this San Francisco treat — currently featuring bassist-vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry “Ler” LaLonde, and returning drummer Jay Lane — has dished out an eclectic and unique hybrid of styles. It’s funk with a metal attack, it’s prog rock with a smirk. It’s fluid one moment, bone-crushing the next. Primus’s music is simultaneously dissonant and soothing, like a sledgehammer lullaby. After some time off and ventures into other projects, Primus is back with “Green Naugahyde,” its first studio album in 11 years. The band is hitting the road this fall and 18 City OCTOBER 5-11, 2011
playing two full sets each night, so each show should feature everyone’s favorites mixed in with the new stuff. Personally, I’m holding out for “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver.” LaLonde was hiding out in a luxury hotel in Philadelphia under an assumed name when I tracked him down. I had some questions, he had some answers. An edited version of it all follows. CITY: First album in 11 years. What’s the hurry? Larry “Ler” LaLonde: We were slacking off.
Maybe that’s because they’re more familiar with the band now; they speak Primus.
Yeah. Does that bum you out?
No. It might have before. Because the goal before was to really push it to come up with sounds or some style that didn’t really exist yet. What’s your studio process? How do you write?
So it’s like an old chapter revisited.
The first record and a half are the songs you’ve built up playing in clubs. Then it turned into a lot of getting into a room with a boom box recording, listening to tapes, and picking out bits and pieces. And things have progressed over time technology-wise, so this album…we had a lot of tapes from sound checks of song ideas, jamming things. A fair amount of things came back just listening to those tapes. So we just went into the studio and banged it out all together.
Yeah. We’re like a new band with a back catalogue.
How has the band evolved? Has it evolved?
We tried to wait 20.
Is this a new chapter for Primus, or are you picking up where you left off?
It’s probably a new chapter, because Jay’s back in the band and it seems like where we left off, everyone was ready to take a break and to do other things for a while.
How’s the new album being received?
Really well, as far as I can tell. People don’t usually come up and tell you if it’s terrible — although they used to do that quite a bit. But this record seems to be one they can latch onto a little easier.
I think it’s hopefully evolved — at least for me — into a thing where I’m comfortable doing it. Whereas all the other records were me trying to get what was in my head out of my guitar. It seems like it’s a lot easier now. Whether it’s the technology where I can do things faster, I’m more comfortable.
Despite your impact on today’s musicians, you’re still relatively a cult band.
Yeah, it’s kind of a weird little spot we’ve found there. You’re not going to hear us when you go into Taco Bell, you’re not going to hear us on the radio. You’re not going to hear us by accident for the most part. Not everyone listens, but everyone knows your name, going so far as to use it as an adjective.
I guess that’s from being around long enough. Most of the time they probably use it as a derogative. What are some of the misconceptions surrounding Primus?
I think the main ones would be that we’re a goofball band, or that we’re just joking around. Like when I was growing up there were things like Frank Zappa — people thought it was a joke until they sat down and really listened. What’s something Primus hasn’t done yet?
We haven’t jumped over the Snake River Canyon. How about an attempt this tour?
Yeah, that’s always a possibility. From what I hear the launch ramp is still there.

Frenchman Stephane Wrembel calls his music “gypsy jam,” a hybrid of world music dominated by his gypsy guitar. At the heart of this music, and in the heart of Wrembel, stands Django Reinhardt, the undefeated master of gypsy-jazz guitar. Teenaged Wrembel was turned on to guitar via the legends you’d expect, like Hendrix and Zeppelin. But when he went to the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois, France, at age 20, it was clear what he would be doing from then on. Wrembel colors outside the lines with African and Latin rhythms, as well as other assorted world strains, with the mystique, romance, and sensuality of the master intact. He knocked out a rabid crowd at the Rochester International Jazz Fest last year; come down and see why. Matt Cross opens.

CLASSICAL | “First Chair Sonatas”
Looking for something a little more intimate and artsy than a full-blown symphony? How about performances by the firstchair musicians of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in the setting of the Memorial Art Gallery on a Sunday evening? This weekend, the Chamber Music Society of Rochester hosts a concert featuring RPO first chairs Erik Behr, oboe; Juliana Athayde, violin; Stefan Reuss, cello; Mark Kellogg, euphonium; and Joseph Werner, piano. The program includes works by American composer Jan Bach (b. 1937 — not to be confused with J.S.), Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, and Russian composer Dimitri Shostakovich. A superb selection of music with a demand of brisk and bright passages for piano, throughout. Rochester Chamber Music Society: “First Chair Sonatas” takes place Sunday, October 9, 7:30 p.m. at the Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. $10-$30. 377-6770, ChamberMusicRochester.org. — BY PALOMA A.

Whether it’s folks like Jimmer Fredette or Jon Huntsman, TV’s “Big Love” or the Tony-winning musical “The Book of Mormon,” lately there seems to be a kind of fascination with all things Utah. Provo’s Desert Noises is an indie alt-folk group from the Beehive State that channels harmony-rich bands like Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses. The group’s new CD, “Mountain Sea,” firmly plants Desert Noises in the major leagues and the iconic opening moments of first track “Hey Ah” may just be what you’ve been waiting to hear. The young quartet is embarking on its first cross-country tour, and there’s even an Osmond family member in the band. Salt Lake City’s The Second Estate and local group Sunset Magnetic share the bill.

Art Exhibits
“Hooded Witness,” from an unknown photographer, part of the “Unseen Eye” exhibit currently at George Eastman House. PHOTO PROVIDED
Closed to you “The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the W.M. Hunt Collection”
Through February 19 George Eastman House, 900 East Ave. 271-3361, eastmanhouse.org Tue-Sat 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Thu 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun 1-5 p.m. | $5-$12 [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
The new exhibit at George Eastman House marks the first major exhibition of images culled from the collection to be shown in the United States, and features more than 500 photographs by famous, not-so-famous, and unknown artists. William Hunt is a renowned curator and dealer who has been collecting photographs for four decades, and he describes his collection as “magical, heart-stopping images of people in which the eyes cannot be seen,” per the Eastman House statement. The images are each beautiful standalone works, but together form a poignant and fascinating collection with one common theme: the gaze of the subject is averted, the face obscured, or some similar element ties the image loosely into this set. Without a peek into or even at the eyes of the subject, something crucial is hidden from the camera’s all-capturing gaze. Most images depict people, but are not limited to this in the literal sense —a section of a wall holds images of sculptural busts, the eyes shut or just eerily blank. Also included are animals, such as the blindfolded circus bear curiously balanced between the tops 24 City october 5-11, 2011
of two ladders; inanimate objects, like the holes in a cement wall that form a humanoid face; and people themselves resembling inanimate objects, such as the 1921 Andre Kertesz black-and-white photo of a barechested woman imitating a garden statue. She gracefully shields her eyes with an arm, and holds drapery around her waist with the other, posing before a thick line of trees. Eyes are obscured by hands, masks, bags, or the heads are off-scene. Others cheat the definition slightly by presenting out-of-focus eyes, like Susan Derges’s “Untitled Eye,” in which a jewel-like chain of water drops is focused upon in the fore, and an open eye, more watery than the drops, is out-of-focus in the background. Similarly, a nearby video by Dutch photographer Romke Hoogwaerts loops on a torturous wait for in-focus, closed eyes to open. The subject breathes calmly through his nose, eyebrows and eyes twitch teasingly, then as they slowly open, his face turns upward in an off-camera smile while the camera fades out of focus. Like any well-curated exhibit of a
collection of images, thoughtful pairings and groupings were created to enhance similar themes and juxtapose the dissimilar. An image of Rudolf Nureyev by Richard Avedon is positioned near a Robert Mapplethorpe entitled “Kevin,” each a silvery, subtly erotic picture of a man with his head thrust back, the architecture of his throat vulnerably and magnetically bared. Images of babies evoke that irresistible protective instinct, whether they are sleeping peacefully, seemingly abandoned in the woods, huddled together in a school bomb drill or on the street in poverty, or wailing unhappily on a staircase.
The photographs span time, age, and nationality, bringing out the voyeur in each of us. Many faces form self-consciously blank expressions, some are vaguely wincing, a few look bemused, as shown in the wide, wide smirk of Matthew Rolston’s “Dennis Quaid.” The collection is filled with intimacy, poetry, and often, an intense focus on gesture. Rachel Grossman’s “Covered Eyes” is so vague and gentle it is easy to overlook — the ghostly pale work shows a person covering his or her eyes, with the nose, elbows, and fingertips forming little points as though through cloth. Maizie Gilbert’s “Untitled #35” is just as subtle, with an eye squeezed shut, alone on a blank white page, cradled by the twin dark smudges of an under eye bag bulge and the slight swipe of under-brow shadow. Simple, in-the-moment beauty is captured in many images; in others, a sense of storytelling takes place in a single frame. “Hooded Witness” by an unknown photographer, from an unknown date, depicts a decades-gone courtroom scene with a man sitting at a desk, testifying with a ghost-like white sheet over his head and shoulders. The mind instantly, and perhaps erroneously, injects a mafia story into the vintage scene. The entire identity is concealed, for another purpose, in a portrait of the Hanover Klan that captures rows of cowardly members of the KKK. The collection contains every mood, from ethereal, to serene, to playful, to somber, but would not be a complete look at humanity without its share of works hailing from the disturbing end of the spectrum, so use your discretion when bringing children or the overly sensitive to the exhibit. The milder end of this includes images of wounded soldiers resting in trenches, and the insinuation of the horrific with people strapped into electric chairs, blinded by leather straps. Another reveals two blindfolded men, confronted by a firing squad. More disturbing still is a partially decayed man half-buried in the ground. Another wall holds a couple of rows of seated, headless figures, including one very large, graphic image of a decapitated nude man. Near the exit of the exhibit, an eye-shaped nebula greets the viewer. While considered to be a sort of “eye” only based on our vantage point, the image haunts with seeming presence, and provokes consideration of the unfathomable amount of life it might once have held, or might yet hold again. On Friday and Saturday, October 21 and 22, Eastman House will present events in conjunction with the exhibit, including a lecture and book signing by Hunt, a members’ party, and a book fair featuring artists whose work is included in the exhibition. Visit the Eastman House website for more information.

Since then he has appeared on basically all the big late-night variety shows, participated in the “Comic Relief” series, hosted the game show “Family Feud,” and created his own animated children’s show, “Life with Louie,” for which he won the Humanitas Prize for writing (three times), as well as two Emmy Awards. In addition to writing books and his fairly regular television appearances, Anderson continues to tour the globe with his stand-up act.

Dramatis personae “Circle Mirror Transformation” By Out of Pocket Productions Through October 9 The Space Theater, Hungerford Building, 1115 E. Main St. (Door 2) Thu-Fri 7:30 p.m., Sun 2 p.m. | $10-$15 | 241-3306, thespacerochester.com [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
The simplest things can sometimes be the most revelatory. That’s what I kept thinking while watching “Circle Mirror Transformation,” the current production by fairly new local troupe Out of Pocket Productions. The show is about as stripped down as possible — five very good local actors portraying would-be thespians in an acting class, with minimal props, and minimal plot, presented in a blackbox theater. And yet it made for one of the smartest, honest, most engaging productions I’ve seen in a while. “Circle Mirror Transformation,” written by Annie Baker, won the 2010 Obie Award for Best New American Play, and was nominated for a Drama Desk Award the same year. It’s 28 City october 5-11, 2011
ingenious in its simplicity, following an acting class at a community center in small-town Vermont for several weeks as the four students and the instructor get to know each other, and more importantly, themselves. There really isn’t a plot; it’s just the group going through various acting exercises, which at first can feel somewhat awkward and pointless. Subplots quickly emerge for each of the characters in both subtle and obvious ways, as the characters — forced to open up while reenacting scenes from their childhoods, or “embodying” the life of one of their fellow class mates — slowly come to realize truths about themselves that they have been previously unaware of, or deliberately avoiding. In the wrong hands this could be trite, obvious, or cloying, but Baker’s script is a fantastic example of restraint. One of the key revelations of the play is actually never directly ascribed to a specific character, and the characters’ biographical information is smartly parceled out via understated dialogue, or through the characters “acting” as one of their class mates. A play that depends so much on subtlety
requires a strong cast to pull off all the complicated, unspoken personal interactions,
and director Kathryn Moroney has found five local actors capable of pulling it off. Most of them are veterans of the Rochester community-theater scene, except for Allie York, a promising newcomer from Gananda High School. York plays Lauren, a withdrawn teenager, and she is particularly good in the scene in which she has to embody Schultz, a middle-aged man in the group. The rapport she builds in that scene resonates again at the ending of the play. As Schultz, M.S. Ames is able to silently telegraph exactly who and what his character is even while silently standing. Schultz is a sweet, wounded, adorably dorky divorcee, and Ames conveys that through every line, every movement. Marcy J. Savastano plays Theresa, an energetic, artsy recent transplant from New York City who serves as something of a catalyst for both of the men in the show. Theresa is possibly the most complicated character in the show — she knows she shouldn’t do certain things, but she can’t resist doing them anyway — and the ever-magnetic Savastano somehow keeps her likable without excusing her faults. Jim Valone portrays James, husband to Marty, the class’s instructor. Valone plays James as slightly off his game, trying desperately to keep up with everyone in the class and to please his wife. But watch for the moments when James is overcome with anger; that’s when Valone really comes alive. Lastly, Vicki Casarett plays Marty, who perhaps has the greatest emotional arc in the show. Casarett beams with pride as her students have breakthroughs in the various acting exercises, but has to deal with some brutal personal revelations. Casarett is equally convincing at both extremes. Out of Pocket has been around for about three years, and in that time has shown an interest in performing these kinds of small, thoughtful works. We can always use more of that in our local theater landscape. In addition to its theatrical endeavors, the group aims to raise funds and awareness for area nonprofit organizations through each show; proceeds from “Circle Mirror Transformation” will go to Gilda’s Club Rochester and the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. The Space is also a fairly new addition to the Rochester performance scene. A black box with church pews as seats, it serves improv comedy troupes and smaller theater productions, filling a similar niche as the Multi-use Community Cultural Center in the Neighborhood of the Arts. It’s a fine venue, although at least twice during the show a loud noise from either a nearby elevator or some kind of a rolling cart (the Hungerford is filled with artist studios and other tenants) interrupted the proceedings and took me out of the performance. To the credit of the actors, and their director, nobody on stage missed a beat.

On Wednesday, October 12, Rochesterians will be forced to choose between two hilarious and intelligent contemporary literary marvels. For those of us who geek out over the printed word, and the opportunity to hear and meet the shapers of sense in person, this tragic scheduling will be the cause of a tough decision. But there is enough of a gap in genre and style for a decision to be made. At Hochstein School of Music and Dance (50 N Plymouth Ave.), humorist author David Sedaris (pictured) will return to Rochester (Writers & Books last brought him here in the 90’s) for a reading and signing of his work, as part of the yearlong celebration of Writers & Books’ 30th anniversary. The event begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $38.50 for pick-up at the event, or at Writers & Books before October 12, and can be purchased online at wab.org or by calling 478-9205 x107. Over at Monroe Community College’s Brighton Campus Theater (Building 4, 1000 E. Henrietta Rd.) Billy Collins, poet laureate of the United States 2001-03, will give a reading of his latest work, answer questions, and sign books as part of MCC’s Visiting Scholar Series. This event takes place at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10 for the general public, and free to MCC students, faculty, and staff. To reserve yours, visit monroecctickets.com or visit the Campus Center Service Desk in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center, Bldg. 3 and at the Damon City Campus Bookstore, 228 E.

THEATER | “Six Characters in Search of an Author”
Any creative person knows that once an idea takes form in the mind, it takes on a sort of life of its own. This week, Greater Rochester Repertory Companies will present a work in this vein of thought in Luigi Pirandello’s “Six Characters in Search of an Author” at the Multi Use Community Cultural Center (142 Atlantic Ave.). In this play, a theater company is about to rehearse when it is interrupted by the entrance of an assortment of six characters who announce they are looking for an author. The writer who conceived the characters has abandoned them, and in order to survive, they must find another author who is willing to place them safely within a play. What will happen when the company’s manager agrees to let them live out their stories on the stage? The Ed Scutt-directed show will feature David Runzo, Fred Nuernberg, Elena Goldfeder, and Richard Mancini, and will be performed Thursday-Saturday, October 6-8, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 9, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be reserved by calling 866-811-4111 or online at muccc. org. Tickets will also be available at the door for $20 or $15 for students. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Papermill St., Honeoye Falls. custombrewcrafters.com. 1-5 p.m. $25-$30. Columbus Day Parade.

Real estate and unreal estate [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Dream House” (PG-13), directed by Jim Sheridan Now playing
The haunted house remains one of the favorite locations for the horror flick, providing living space and, nowadays, all modern conveniences to hundreds of cinematic revenants and frights to thousands of buyers and renters. The concept began a long time ago, with the ghost-ridden castles of the Gothic novel, while “The Amityville Horror,” renovated several times, probably constitutes the essential contemporary construction. The new movie
“Dream House” offers yet new possibilities in the subject and at the same time departs from the predictable patterns of horror. The movie opens with Will Attenton (Daniel Craig) celebrating his resignation from his position as a successful and admired editor at a book publisher to move from New York City to Connecticut, where he plans to write a novel. He also wants to help his beloved wife, Libby (Rachel Weisz), fix up their dream house and, not incidentally, spend more time with his two little girls. Completely content with his choice, delighted at the prospect of staying home and writing, he looks forward to a most enjoyable and productive time in quaint little New Ashford. Naturally, as any hardened veteran of shocks and frights expects, Will’s dream house soon turns into something like a nightmare residence. Libby and his children see a strange figure outside at night, and Will finds footprints in the snow; odd noises disturb his sleep, some of them emanating from a gang of Goth teenagers boldly partying in his basement. He learns that five years before

his family moved in, a man named Peter Ward shot his wife and two children in the Attentons’ dream house, apparently cursing the place. Increasingly disquieted by the situation and especially its effect on his children, Will tries to find out the details of the murders and the killer, but none of the citizens of New Ashford will help him. The police brush him off with vague excuses and his nearest neighbor, Ann Paterson (Naomi Watts), who clearly knows something about the event, refuses to answer his questions. His frantic search for the truth turns the horror film into something like a mystery story; the truth he finds, however, also turns into something else, an appalling revelation that forces him to question his own identity and even the reality he thought he inhabited. In keeping with his own desperation and confusion, the movie constantly shifts the environment around Will and the people he encounters, suggesting the metamorphic possibilities in its situations. Despite its several twists and turns, however, given the clues and hints that the script plays with from the beginning, many viewers will probably deduce the solution to the mystery before Will reaches his own painful conclusions. “Dream House” — a quite literal title — finally ends in the violent melodrama usually associated with the thriller, and a subsequent descent into an unsettling sentimentality, with some actual, benign specters showing up.
Topic of cancer [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“50/50” (R), directed by Jonathan Levine Now playing
“Restless” (PG-13), directed by Gus Van Sant Opens Friday
Although the writer and director apparently intend to transform the intimacy of a nuclear family into something like a model of domestic bliss, most of the scenes involving Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, not to speak of the children, generate a cloying artificiality. His interactions with the children seem utterly false, while he reiterates his love for his wife so frequently that one would think his character was covering up an infidelity. He spends so much time repairing the house, chasing down ghosts, and playing the contented family man, that he never writes a page of his projected novel. The movie really seems designed as a vehicle for Daniel Craig, a device that usually assists the careers of female performers. After joining the long line of British gentlemen who played James Bond, Craig now follows a relatively familiar pattern for foreign-born actors mutating into American stars. Appropriately, he initially earned his spurs in that most American of forms, the Western, the wonderfully bizarre “Cowboys & Aliens,” which appeared earlier this year; “Dream House” allows him to display a wider range of emotions beyond the laconic toughness of the cowboy. Its twists and turns justify the metamorphoses in appearance and behavior he undergoes, from victim to villain to hero, from devoted husband to psychopath to avenger; unfortunately, he seems generally uncomfortable and unconvincing throughout. He should have stuck with 007.
Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is clearly a careful person, at his most content with everything in its place. So what if there are no cars as he’s trying to cross the street? Adam waits patiently for the walk signal. He picks up after his messy girlfriend and, to her delight, gives her a drawer at his house. The thought of being late to his job as a radio producer for the Seattle NPR affiliate sends Adam into a visible panic. Order is the man’s tether, but life loves to remind you that you’re not the one in control. “I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I recycle!” Adam protests when a stone-cold doctor delivers the cancer diagnosis. The 27-year-old’s chances of survival and the title of this satisfying comedy are the same: “50/50.” “If you were a casino game, you’d have the best odds!” Adam’s friend Kyle (Seth Rogen) points out by way of

cheering up, but he’s just one of the cogs in Adam’s rickety support system. Adam’s self-centered girlfriend Rachel (Bryce Dallas Howard) does what she can, which includes getting Adam a dog and ignoring medical appointments. Then there’s Adam’s understandably upset mother (Anjelica Huston), whose smothering reaction confirms that apples don’t fall far from trees. New to Adam’s life, as well as her job as a therapist, is Katherine (Anna Kendrick), navigating the boundaries of the professional-client relationship as she cares for only the third patient of her career. At the center, of course, is Adam, who will find that his potential road to recovery is paved with people who may need his strength more than he needs theirs. You’d be forgiven for thinking this setup screams “sentimentality” (or, worse, “teaching moments”), but “50/50” is engaging entertainment that never once hints at any disrespect to the gravity of its subject. This balance is possible thanks to screenwriter Will Reiser, whose funny, knowing script was inspired by his own battle with cancer at a similarly young age. Reiser finds humor in both the truth and surreality of the situation, but he also declines to shy away from the cancer’s harsher realities, like the side effects of chemotherapy and loved ones who, despite their best intentions, simply can’t deal. “50/50” is director Jonathan Levine’s follow-up to 2008’s “The Wackness,” and he makes the wise choice to merely point the camera and let his excellent cast do their thing. Easily one of the best of his generation, Gordon-Levitt has never been able to fall back on a magnetic, movie-star vibe for his performances; his Everyman-ness allows him to disappear into his roles, even when he’s just playing an ordinary guy in extraordinary circumstances. (See “Brick,” “The Lookout,” “(500) Days of Summer,”
etc.) Gordon-Levitt opts for calm here, making his rare forays into anger and fear all the more compelling. Rogen tackles the dirty-sweet Rogen role, while Huston infuses her stereotypical mother with the proper amount of mettle. And Kendrick’s tentative therapist is a kindred spirit to her character from “Up In The Air,” so intent on doing her job correctly that she nearly forgets that she’s dealing with other humans. The loveliest parts of “50/50” are when she remembers. In some movies, though, cancer exists
to improve the lives of others, even as it ravages its unfortunate vessel. That’s the case with Gus Van Sant’s “Restless,” which errs on the side of precious to tell a “Love Story” type of, um, love story about a death-obsessed boy who falls for a terminally ill girl. Henry Hopper plays Enoch, and his meet-cute with Mia Wasikowska’s Annabel occurs at a funeral. When Enoch isn’t going on quirky date montages with Annabel, he’s confiding in a wise kamikaze ghost (the elegant Ryo Kase) or arguing with his well-meaning aunt (an ill-used Jane Adams) about everything. “Restless” is gorgeous across the board, from cinematographer Harris Savides’ lush Pacific Northwest scenery to the sharp vintage attire that these teens seem to be able to afford. (At times they look like they stepped out of a Truffaut film.) Wasikowska (“Jane Eyre”) isn’t so much a character as an archetype, a serene saint who looks great in hats. The problem, unfortunately, is Hopper. He bears an eerie resemblance to his late father Dennis circa “Giant,” but Enoch is so damn whiny and unlikable that it’s hard to feel sympathy for him. (Strangely, though, Enoch felt authentic.) It’s not that we’d prefer to sacrifice him, exactly, but we’d miss Annabel a whole lot more.
ENTERTAINMENT
THE OMEN
Thursday, Oct. 6, 8 p.m. The US Ambassador to England (Gregory Peck) and his wife (Lee Remick) accidentally set the stage for Armageddon when they unknowingly adopt the spawn of Satan. To the scandal-weary America of 1976, the idea of the antichrist coming from the bosom of a powerful political family probably seemed perfectly plausible, if not altogether likely. (Richard Donner, UK 1976, 111 min.)
HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week. Terrifying ... and Funny
Tuesday, Oct. 11, 7 p.m. Anatomically incorrect rock goddess Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell) brings her tour (and her wig collection!) to the Dryden in this hilariously moving musical “mockumentary.” Real life punk rock icon Bob Mould and Girls Against Boys add their edge to Stephen Trask’s score. (John Cameron Mitchell, US 2001, 95 min.)

88 Gorsline St. LIVE ROCHESTER HISTORY THE MOST EXCITING NEW/OLD DOWNTOWN APARTMENTS BUILT 1840-RENOVATED 2011 HEAT INCLUDED • TOWNHOUSES AND FLATS STOP BY FOR AN APPLICATION 312 STATE STREET M-F 9-6, SAT 9-1
William Morris, the icon of the English Arts and Crafts Movement, once said “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” Built in 1910, 88 Gorsline Street, in the Maplewood Historic District, is a superb example of this Arts and Crafts imperative, possessing a profusion of beautiful original details, augmented by periodsensitive and functional upgrades. Vintage charm is evident from the curb, drawing you up the pretty landscaped walk and through the wisteria arbor shading the front entrance of this wood-shingled home. The large porch offers a covered sitting area overlooking this quiet, attractive street of well-maintained houses. Remarkably, the current owner himself is a craftsman—a coppersmith who has installed beautiful copper sculptural pieces and Arts and Crafts accents to the front porch, along the roofline, topping the door moldings, and throughout the property. Every space within has been custom painted with rich historic tones. The foyer, living room, and formal dining room each boast an abundance of original features: hardwood floors, high ceilings, window seats (two!), and built-in book cases flanking an impressive mantel and hearth. Chestnut molding and trim have been stripped of paint, restored, and restained, and a Vermont Casting wood-burning stove awaits the coming cold. The chandeliers on the first floor are a mix of original fixtures and other historic lighting brought by the current owner from his family’s period home.
A former butler’s pantry has been opened up into an upgraded eat-in kitchen, featuring oak cabinetry, earth-tone tiles, and plenty of lighting and counter space for the avid chef. Past the kitchen and through a small mudroom, one finds what has to be the prettiest backyard on the block. This space has everything— privacy, a deck, custom picket fencing, ample perennial beds, and thriving peach and apple trees. The current owners have two spaces set up for lounging and dining, plus space for a children’s play set. Upstairs boasts an updated full bath as well as three charming bedrooms, one with an adjoining, enclosed sleeping porch. The hallway features a laundry chute and built-in linen cupboard and drawers. It’s hard to tour a space like this and not fall in love. The current homeowners have clearly worked hard and lovingly to restore and enhance every area of this home. You could move right in! William Morris would approve. To schedule a showing today, call Salvatore Morello at 585-233-7653. The list price of this 1600 square-foot home is $129,900.
