“AFTER-WORK PLANS”
ANGRY & DOUBLE-TAXED In New Mexico, taxing Social Security benefits undermines the purpose of the Social Security Act, which was designed to lift seniors out of poverty—not to fund state government. Social Security should always be exempt from state taxes. As always, other sources of income should be taxed for government programs. Yet you have New Mexico Voices for Children and Retake Our Democracy mistakenly supporting double taxation of Social Security for dubious reasons using skewed statistics. I have supported these organizations in the past. However, on this issue they are 100% dead wrong. The state Legislature and the governor should end this unfair tax now on New Mexicans and join the 37 states that don’t tax Social Security. I am angered by the inaction of the New Mexico Legislature.

WEB, FEB. 14: “LAWMAKERS WON’T GIVE UP ON CANNABIS LAW”
SOME ISSUES That bill currently has two very grave faults. 1. It allows police to use a swab to test people to see if they have marijuana in their system. It takes a five-second Google search to see that those tests are absolutely unreliable when testing for marijuana. My fear is that if New Mexico passes marijuana legalization, the entire police and sheriff apparatus in the state would absolutely freak out and institute a police state on our highway, pulling people over and swabbing them just because their eyes are red or just for no reason. A cop can cite anything. 2. Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino stuck a rider in there that 40% of marijuana production had to be done in the hands of unions! Well how the hell are we going to manage that? I’m a big supporter of unions but what is that noise? If I was in the Legislature, I would have voted against this bill. I guarantee you, if New Mexico legalizes marijuana it will be a total clusterfuck of idiocy because that’s how things end up in this state. It would be an absolute freak-out in law enforcement pulling people over left and right swabbing their tongues. I vote we just keep decriminalization and happy road trips to Colorado.

Lawmakers cruise toward ditching out-of-state patients, namely Texans BY BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
P
eople who are not residents of New Mexico and who don’t have medical cannabis cards in other states would no longer be allowed to buy the medicine here under a proposed law change that’s heading for the governor’s signature. Still smarting from a District Court loss over the issue that has resulted in the state issuing over 600 cards to out-ofstate patients, the Health Department, lawmakers and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham are planning to change the statute to halt the practice. The House Health and Human Services Committee voted 6-1 Monday morning to recommend passage of Senate Bill 139, which cleared the Senate over the weekend on a 32-8 vote. Just hours later, the full House voted 44-14 to pass the law Monday afternoon. Here’s the key shift in the language: Qualified patients would be “residents of New Mexico” instead of the broader “person,” which has caused all the trouble. But since the Health Department secretary last week formally adopted

the rules for reciprocity with all the states that have medical marijuana programs—including neighboring Arizona and Colorado—the real battle brewing has to do with Texans who want New Mexico’s cannabis. Of the 613 total outof-state patients to qualify for cards, 589 are from Texas, according to figures the department provided to SFR. Health Secretary Kathyleen Kunkel told committee members that the department started issuing cards to outof-state patients after the initial court ruling in August out of an “abundance of caution” while it continues through the appeal process. She contends changes to the law to get ready for reciprocity rules last year allowed for the confusion, but the department never intended to serve patients from states that don’t allow medical cannabis consumption. “No other state with a medical cannabis program is giving cards to other states,” she said, adding later, “if we don’t correct this mistake on what we meant to do…we’re inviting federal intrusion into what is a very successful program.” State rules don’t allow patients to take products purchased in New Mexico across state lines, and that’s a major plank in informal federal policy that some argue protects state cannabis programs. Yet, program manager Dominick Zurlo said New Mexico’s 24-hour hotline for law enforcement has received nine calls from police in Texas who want to talk about people under arrest for can-

Asked by a committee member how many more Texans might be in the pipeline for medical cannabis cards now or how many more might apply, Kunkel replied in part, “there’s a lot of people

in Texas, and the number could grow significantly.” Rep. Deborah Armstrong, D-Albuquerque, the committee chair, told fellow lawmakers she supported the revision because, otherwise, “it opens it up to almost a national program, and we want to be very careful about that.” Cannabis advocates in the audience took issue with Kunkel’s claim about an error in the last session. Duke Rodriguez, who runs Ultra Health cannabis dispensaries, was one of the plaintiffs in the court case that resulted in policy change. He’s an Arizona resident. “This program is working the way it’s intended to work,” he told the committee, also arguing that Kunkel’s notion of threat from the feds wasn’t accurate by his reading. Rodriguez tells SFR later that she misinformed committee members in saying Texas has “no medical cannabis program,” when it allows low-dose THC for epilepsy patients. Jason Barker, a patient and advocate with Safe Access New Mexico, said lawmakers knew exactly what they were doing when they changed the rules. “This is no oversight,” he said at the hearing. “Changing the law makes no sense.” Rep. Zachary Cook, R-Ruidoso, cast the lone vote in opposition. Fellow Republican Gail Armstrong, from Magdalena, also had concerns that the bill lacked a definition for “resident,” but she was absent during the vote. House Speaker Brian Egolf, a Santa Fe Democrat who represented Ultra Health in the court fight as its attorney, has recused himself from the matter. The governor has said she supports the rule change and sent her lead counsel, Matt Garcia, to Monday’s hearing. More than 81,000 New Mexicans are enrolled in the program. That number includes about 9,300 from Santa Fe County.

May’s program will pair Alesandra Zsiba, founding artist and director of The Identity Project and Paper Dosa Chef Paulraj Karuppasamy, a native of South Indian state Tamil Nadu. Karels spoke with computational sociologist Tamara van der Does, a post-doctoral research fellow at the Santa Fe Institute, who discussed what she characterized as the emergence of “pan-ethnic” identities. For example, the terms “Hispanic,” “Latino” and “Latinx,” she says, “might seem like they’ve been around forever,” but are a much more recent development; just 50 years ago, people were more likely to identify as Mexican, Cuban or Puerto Rican. Pan-ethnic identities, “which group people “from multiple national origins together,” allowing people to “organize and unify,” developed in response to both migration patterns and US policies, van der Does said. In the case of Latino and Hispanic identity, the movement coalesced in the 1960s and ‘70s as activists from different geographic regions joined together to fight against the shared discrimination all had experienced. Similarly, Asian Americans—from China, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam— despite coming from countries with different languages and religions, were segregated and discriminated against as a group by “the white majority…people

ue-Chan Karels was 9 years old when she and her family fled Vietnam carrying $500, personal documents and negatives of family photos. One week later, on April 30, 1975, North Vietnam forces captured Saigon, marking the end of the war in Vietnam. For Karels, the events delineated the inception of a new life in an unfamiliar country, as well as a personal journey that would lead her to find ways to fill the chasm between the home she left behind and the re-imagined existence she and her family would build. Karels shared her story on Feb. 13— her birthday—with a SITE Santa Fe audience attending the museum’s Digest This series, a monthly event that pairs local scholars with culinary artists for short-form multi-media talks and tastings. The most recent event prefigured next month’s exhibition, DISPLACED: Contemporary Artists Confront the Global Refugee Crisis, which will feature 12 international artists working across mediums to explore issues of migration and displacement, as well as myriad complementary events. In May, SITE, the School for Advanced Research and the Center for Contemporary Arts will collaborate on a series of exhibitions and events titled Beyond Borders, launching with Hostile Terrain 94, a participatory event in which public volunteers handwrite 3,200 toe tags that represent migrants who died between the mid 1990s and 2019 trying to cross the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Digest This programming—held the second Thursday of the month starting in April through September—will continue to highlight the exhibition’s themes of migration and displacement.

What was lost can be found, but it’s never what it was. -Hue-Chan Karels
For Karels, a child in the 1970s, her reclamation of her homeland began in the 1990s as Vietnam began emerging from post-war isolation. In 1994, former President Bill Clinton lifted the nearly 20-year-old US trade embargo, and Karels set up the first of two companies that helped facilitate both trade missions and infrastructure re-building. Returning to Vietnam, she said, helped her recognize “what was lost can be found, but it’s never what it was.” Refugees such as herself helped rebuild their lost country, she noted, but also shaped the new country that had become home in myriad ways. Food was one of them. At the SITE event, Karels served the audience bánh cu n, Vietnamese steamed rice crêpes—the last meal she and her family ate prior to fleeing the country. Part of building their new life in the US meant finding substitutes for traditional ingredients to make their native cuisine. “We did what we could to remind us and have a little sanity and comfort as we [found] our way in our new home,” she said. Ten years ago, Karels started Open Kitchen in Washington, DC (https://openkitchenevents.com), a culinary-event business she transplanted to Santa Fe, where she and her family moved almost six years ago. Open Kitchen will be collaborating with Chefs Naranjo and Brian Yazzie for a three-day food event in May on Native American cuisine. Concluding her talk, Karels said, “The Vietnamese, the future of Vietnam and its people [are] being reimagined every day through our resilience and creativity and our participation in the areas we live in.”

Pension Promises
A Senate bill could help firefighters get the retirement benefits they were promised, but time in the session is running out
Firefighters who work in the field don’t end up earning equal benefits as desk workers because of a bureaucratic issue.
BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
anta Fe firefighters who work in the field are losing out on thousands of dollars in retirement contributions because of the way their shifts are scheduled and reported to the Public Retirement Agency of New Mexico. They also make less in retirement than department employees with the same rank and salary who work 9-5 at a desk. In November, officials at the City of Santa Fe said they could not do anything to solve the problem without legislative support. Now, firefighters are holding their breath as they wait for a vote from the New Mexico House of Representatives on a bill that could fix the problem. Santa Fe is not the only city in New Mexico where it occurs. Sen. George Muñoz, D-Gallup, says firefighters in the area he represents have also raised concerns that they might not receive the pension benefits they were promised. This legislative session, Muñoz is the sole sponsor of a bill aimed at correcting the record-keeping issue. Senate Bill 62, the Public Employee Retirement Pay Changes Act, provides
a simple solution: It changes the legal definition of “salary” to include overtime hours for positions in which that time is part of regularly scheduled tours of duty. The bill passed on the Senate floor by a vote of 33-9 on Saturday. The bill was on the agenda for the House Labor, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee on Tuesday afternoon, though at presstime the committee had not yet held the hearing. “This affects every professional firefighter in the state,” says Robert Sanchez, president of the New Mexico Professional Firefighters Association, who waited along with firefighters from a departments in Los Alamos, Española, Santa Fe, and Bernalillo for hours Tuesday afternoon for the committee meeting to begin. Muñoz tells SFR he feels optimistic the bill will make it all the way to the House floor and pass. However, he says representatives have not given him any indication as to how they plan to vote on it and, with only a few days left in this year’s short 30-day session, time could be quickly running out. The session ends at noon on Thursday, Feb. 20.
“I really hope they pass this one,” he tells SFR in his office at the Roundhouse. “If you are working for something, you should get the benefit. It’s no different than getting cheated out of payroll.” In November, firefighters approached the Santa Fe City Council with a plea for

Yet city finance managers said the matter was more complicated, claiming that only a legislative change to PERA law could create a long-

term fix. City Council decided to postpone taking action until after the 2020 legislative session. At the heart of the issue is both how firefighters’ shifts are scheduled and how salary and overtime are legally defined. According to federal labor law, a regular work week for firefighters is 53 hours, or 106 hours in a 14-day payroll period. Anything more is considered overtime. According to New Mexico state law, retirement benefits are determined by an employee’s salary. PERA determines the figure based on the number of non-overtime hours they work. Government employers are required to report an employee’s hours to PERA and make pension contributions for the hours reported. They do not make contributions on overtime hours. In Santa Fe, the city regularly schedules firefighters to work one 48-hour shift every six days. Because the shifts fall on different days each week, the number of actual hours worked in a 14-day pay period varies from 96 to 128 per pay period, but the city only reports up to 106 hours a pay period to PERA. According to Santa Fe firefighters’ own analysis, that leads to field workers’ hours being under-reported by 8.3% annually. This means that two fire department employees who have the same rank and salary could end up receiving different amounts from their pension funds during retirement if one works in administration and the other works long field shifts. A battalion chief whose position and rank entitles them to a $92,000 annual salary is promised a pension of $64,474.20 a year; however, in reality will only get a pension of $59,103.85 because of the under-reported hours. An administrative position making the same annual salary would take home the higher amount. If Muñoz’s bill becomes law, Santa Fe will not have to change how it reports firefighter hours to PERA, but it will have to pay out a lot more per year to cover the pension contributions for firefighter hours that were not previously reported. “We’ve tried so many avenues already, it really took us a long time to figure out this solution,” says Sanchez, noting many cities have struggled over the last year to come up with temporary fixes. Santa Fe City Councilor JoAnne Vigil Coppler also sat in the room, waiting to testify on behalf of the City Council in support of the firefighters. Sanchez says, “We just want what’s fair, to get benefits for our scheduled time like any other public employee.”

he plan was fairly simple: As John Paul Granillo walked inside the bank just after closing to pick up his then-girlfriend, a third member of the group would use a gun to scare the bank manager into putting as much money as possible into a pair of backpacks. During the robbery, Granillo and his girlfriend, Rosanna Naranjo, who worked at the First State Bank in Santa Fe, played the role of victims in the attack. Arthur “Rudy” Cornelius, the man with the gun, even pretended to force Granillo to tie up the bank manager with a phone cord. The scheme was successful—at first. Cornelius walked out with $327,000.80 in cash and stashed a chunk of it at the home of Granillo’s grandmother. The trio, aged in their late teens and early 20s at the time, divided up the money later on. Everyone with a memory of it says it’s plenty likely that the heist, pulled off just

after 5 pm on April 27, 2004, amounted to one of the largest bank robberies in New Mexico history. The FBI quickly figured out that Granillo and Naranjo were in on the robbery. After agents arrested the couple on April 30, 2004, Granillo would not see the New Mexico sky as a free man again until a decade later. He spent the entirety of his 20s in federal prison. Now 36, Granillo sits in his sunny kitchen in Santa Fe surrounded by paint bottles, several half-finished canvases, his kids’ toys and a massive stack of papers and photos—the discovery from his court case for the bank job. “I have to work on being a good human every day and actually talk to myself to say, ‘Hey, this is what you have to be,’” Granillo tells SFR. “Do the math. I was 30-something. To come out [of prison] and to say ‘You’ve rehabilitated or just changed overnight’ would be ridiculous.” Seven years after he stepped out of prison, Granillo has made an impact on Santa Fe’s Southside. He helped found

the Alas de Agua Art Collective, set up art programs in local schools, got married and had his first child. That’s a lot of change, even if it didn’t come overnight. In the fall, Granillo will contribute pieces to the Museum of International Folk Art’s exhibit on prison art, including one of the backpacks used to steal the money. “We brought [Granillo] in because he dedicates himself to using art as a catalyst for change, to help youth and keep them out of the system or prevent youth from going into jail in the first place,” says Nicolasa Chavez, curator of the Latino, Hispano and Spanish Colonial collections at the museum. To piece this story together, SFR spent several hours interviewing Granillo, people involved in his criminal case and folks who work in the art world with him now, as well as reviewing more than 100 pages of court and family records. The change came from within—and from the people and circumstances around Granillo as well. When the bank case landed in US District Judge William P “Chip” Johnson’s courtroom in Albuquerque in the summer of 2004, Granillo had a wellknown face at the defense table with him. Gary Mitchell has been a New Mexico fixture for decades, representing defendants in some of the state’s most high-profile, high-stakes cases. Mitchell recalls that a parade of friends and family members showed up in court to plead with Johnson for a reduction in prison time from the life sentence prosecutors sought. In the end, Mitchell was able to secure 11 years behind bars for his client. “This was a man who realized he had a drug problem and was going the wrong direction in life, and he wanted to take care of that,” he tells SFR when asked for his recollections of the case. “Apparently he did and continues to do exactly that.” Granillo lived just outside the Plaza and a far cry from tourist attractions. His life took a turn with a terrible decision as a young adult, the kind that can change and ruin lives. It included crushing family drug addiction, crime—even relatives who also robbed banks—and seemingly insurmountable poverty. But while Granillo shows up to discuss his past without flinching, he’s just as unblinking in describing what he is now: a reflection of how a person can turn around, even amongst violence in federal prison—then be placed back in Santa Fe to change things for the better.
John Paul Granillo spent the entirety of his 20s in federal prison. Now he’s an artist with a mind for community.
Do the math. I was 30-something. To come out [of prison] and to say ‘You’ve rehabilitated or just changed overnight’ would be ridiculous.
The case and the notebook
-John Paul Granillo
Two minutes from the Plaza Granillo has always been an artist. It started with drawing and spray painting graffiti. Anything to get away from whichever family member he was living with at the time. “When you walk into a house and your grandma’s fucking shooting heroin and your uncle’s over there helping her and things are going crazy, yeah, I’m gonna go draw for a bit,” Granillo says. “As a kid, I didn’t know what to do. So I drew. I drew a lot.” As a child and teenager, he was shuffled back and forth from Santa Fe to
There was another side of it, too, Granillo says: mariachis playing until 4 am, drugs and alcohol, a penchant for crime. He grew used to it, until eventually there came a time when school didn’t feel normal anymore. “I felt more normal when I went home because other kids didn’t live the way that we were living,” Granillo says. “We stayed on our side and they stayed on theirs. … Everybody has this idea of Santa Fe, of this great tourist mecca, capital of art and all these fine things. Gentrification comes in and ‘We’re going to help the people’ and all of these things. But that’s not what I saw.” The images of his childhood aren’t of nights strolling along the Plaza, the grand cathedral silhouetted against the Sangres after a $30 dinner. In his memories, he’s huddled in a van with his family, waiting to get free food from St. John’s United Methodist Church. “I felt like downtown, outside of our neighborhood, kind of wasn’t our neighborhood,” he says. “It wasn’t a place where we were wanted. It sets the base for my whole story.” Granillo eventually made it to Capital High School before dropping out when he was about 17. There had been numerous suspensions for disrupting class. Despite “amazing” teachers who tried to keep him in school, court-ordered therapy and a love of art, he didn’t see the point. In the end, the education system didn’t know quite what to do with him. Then, he met Rosanna Naranjo.
Pojoaque, between his mother’s and father’s sides of the family. He spent much of his youth just a two-minute walk from the Plaza, on Hillside Avenue, a street that looked a lot different two decades ago. It used to be made up of Hispanic and Latino families: the Chavezes, the Trujillos, the Romeros. Now, it’s lined with million-dollar homes, some owned by people from a far-away coast. In Granillo’s time, everybody was “dirt poor,” but it felt like a neighborhood, he says. They shared food, shelter, running water and transportation. Everybody took care of one another.
The teenagers met in therapy. Naranjo was one year younger than Granillo. He found her sharp demeanor and attitude attractive from the start. They began dating and moved in together on the Southside with her mother, not far from the kitchen where he tells his story. It wasn’t long after Naranjo started working at the First State Bank that Granillo proposed the robbery to her and Cornelius. Alongside Granillo, SFR sifts through court documents and Polaroids of a 20-year-old Granillo in a prison jumpsuit, then comes across a worn black-andwhite notebook. It’s full of handwritten notes his mother kept during the case: a painfully direct look into how the ripples of the bank heist lapped over other people’s lives. Granillo’s mother writes of crippling fear, regret over the missed opportunity for a last hug, a broken heart seeing Granillo in handcuffs and a feeling that she “died” when the FBI found some of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

the stolen money in the trunk of Granillo’s younger brother’s car. June 2, 2004: Her son was upset because Naranjo wouldn’t look at him during the arraignment. June 6: She misses her son. June 14: She’ll quit her job and use her retirement savings to pay for Granillo’s lawyer. The final entry documents Granillo’s pending guilty plea. Also on Granillo’s kitchen table are photos of a bag filled with the stolen money and the burned-out getaway car in Diablo Canyon. The bag overflows with US currency—a contrast to the average take in a bank robbery: according to the FBI, just $4,000 in 2018, more than a decade after Granillo and Company’s ripoff. While it’s impossible to determine whether the First State job was the biggest in New Mexico history, it’s “definitely the largest anyone here has heard of in recent memory,” says Frank Fisher, spokesman for the Albuquerque division of the FBI (Fisher adds that “robbing a bank is not worth it,” just in case this story inspires any ideas). Judge Johnson tells SFR he doesn’t remember the specifics of the case, likely because it didn’t go to trial and Granillo
probably didn’t appear in his courtroom more than a few times. But the amount of money struck him as significant when he reviewed the court file at SFR’s request. So did Granillo’s transformation. “I certainly commend him on turning his life around,” the judge says. Cornelius and Naranjo were both sentenced to prison terms for their roles in the robbery. Granillo says he has not spoken to either of them since, and SFR was unable to locate either of them. Granillo’s mother’s notebook and the stacks of court documents and law enforcement reports don’t offer what only Granillo can tell: how nine years, 10 months and 16 days in prison, chunks of which he says were spent in solitary confinement, changed him from an inciter of violence into a community activist, professional artist and family man.

Reflections in the community On a cold morning, SFR meets up with Granillo and his son at Alas de Agua Art Collective’s first official home, a roomy storage space off Airport Road. It’s filled with art and toys, and there are multiple community events already planned for the coming months. Seven years ago, stepping out of prison deep in debt and just starting his journey to changing himself, Granillo couldn’t have imagined founding and running an art collective. He started the nonprofit with Israel Francisco Haros Lopez, another local artist. It was a long road leading up to the recent opening of Alas de Agua’s space. For three years of his prison term, as a form of

inmates in prison while learning the often complicated gang system with its many rules, spoken and not. Granillo remembers a time when he “thrived” in prison, working out agreements between his syndicate and others, getting to know Pablo Escobar’s pilots and Machinegun Johnny and eating Thanksgiving dinner with John Gotti Jr. But it also meant meting out prison justice when someone broke the rules, even friends. In at least one instance, Granillo says his decisions led to a friend being seriously injured. It is what finally broke Granillo. “You learn to be this macho guy, this idea of masculinity, and we don’t cry and we don’t tell our feelings,” Granillo says. “I started thinking about myself, like ‘who are you?’” Uneducated. An animal. A savage. A mean person. It’s what he saw in the prison mirror every day, and he was OK with it—until one day he wasn’t. “I remember shaving my head and I would look in that mirror, and that mirror had all kinds of scratches and scuffs in it and writing from before,” Granillo says quietly, hunched forward at his kitchen table. “I’d look at that and say, ‘Why am I here? Who are you?… What was the last good thing you did?’” For four days, Granillo tried to think of one thing he had done in his life for no other reason than to be a good person. When he couldn’t, something else broke. Within three weeks, he had his GED and began the preparation to pass syndicate leadership to someone else. “It was being nice to myself,” Granillo says. “How do you be nice to yourself when all you’ve learned was to do wrong? How do you even be nice to another human being? So I said, ‘I’m going to give myself a shot.’”

punishing himself, Granillo did not paint or draw, or even write in cursive. But after that hard look in the mirror, he began painting again and says he “perfected” his art while incarcerated. Once back in Santa Fe and still on parole, Granillo spent hours painting murals and working with kids for free under the New Mexico Mural Project. From that grew Alas de Agua, more options for local kids, a partnership with the Museum of International Folk Art and a headfirst dive into using his art as political activism. “There is a clear and evident line of division from Airport Road, the Southside of the city, the middle of the city and downtown,” Granillo says. “But what about the rest of the city that needs help? …Alas de Agua is creating this space for these kids to be able to say, ‘I own that. That’s my land. I don’t have to stay on Airport Road. I can make it into a museum.’” Haros Lopez, who has worked with Granillo for the past several years, thinks his colleague’s presence inspires the peo-
ple he works with because of the life he’s lived, not in spite of it. “He grew up in these streets and knows what it means to want something like this that can help our youth find their voices, find their truth,” Haros Lopez tells SFR via phone. “To see other Chicanos in front of them that are being positive and active in the community. To be that mirror for them, especially young Chicano males.” For Granillo and Haros Lopez, doing what they can for the Southside is most important, despite financial struggles as they start Alas de Agua in the new space. “If we feel like there’s so many things that are missing on the Southside… we could sit here and complain about all those things and we could wait or we could just go out there and do stuff,” Haros Lopez says. “That’s why [Granillo] is such a beautiful force to be around, ‘cause whenever I have an idea, he’s the first one there to want to follow through on it.” Knowing what he means to the Latino, Chicano, Hispano and Southside communities helps keep Granillo on track with his life and continuously reflecting on himself and his motivations, as well as one of his main goals: Keeping kids like himself out of the criminal justice system using art and community building. Chavez, the Museum of International Folk Art curator, hopes the autumn’s upcoming exhibition, called Between the Lines: Prison Art and Advocacy, featuring some pieces by Granillo, will advance his goal. The soft opening date for the first stage of the exhibit is July 2, with a larger public opening Oct. 4. “It’s not just about art saves the world, it’s about looking at how it can be used to
help,” Chavez says. “We’re also looking at people that get out of prison and how one can adjust back into society versus going back into the prison system again.” Chavez says she hopes the exhibit will put the “human being” back into words like felon and prisoner, as well as bring light to major obstacles that former inmates face upon reintegration: dealing with trauma, finding work, getting an education and learning how to deal with people outside of a cage. That’s part of what Granillo is working on. He is still paying restitution to the government for the money he helped steal that April evening. The restitution feels like an almost insurmountable financial burden at times. But Granillo thinks of his story as a reflection of New Mexican life, good and bad, and that it says multiple things about the city of Santa Fe. He hopes for more attention on healing family structures, self-improvement and strengthening the education system, so that there can be more nets to catch kids like him before they fall onto dark paths. “If everybody can sit there and do something bad together, I guarantee everybody can sit there and do something good together,” Granillo says. “There is a way out and there’s a way to change and there’s a way to help people and there’s a way to be a good person and to believe that things will get better. At the end of it all, I would say hope. What can you give the community? Endless hope. Because I can’t give you a dollar. I can’t give you things, but I can give you hope that things can get better.”

Sew What? Sewing Stories of Displacement at the Museum of International Folk Art Let’s be real here a second—usually, if you were to tell someone something like, “It’s an exhibit about sewing,” your friend’s eyes might roll back up into their head with such ferocity they’d be able to see their own brain. But for a currently running show at the Museum of International Folk Art, the idea goes much deeper. “It’s more about stories,” curator Martha Manier tells SFR. “I’ve always been interested in embroidery that tells stories, and these are very personal— the series deals with different stories of displacement.” Representing countries around the world, Sewing Stories of Displacement delves into the medium as narrative device. And while a term like “displacement” might conjure dramatic imagery—and the show certainly includes such tales—sometimes it can be as simple (and terrible) as an eviction. “I’m trying to look at it in as many ways as possible,” Manier explains. “Sometimes it’s from war, sometimes because allies left, sometimes it’s resource depletion or natural disasters.” Manier also contends that the pieces, which can most easily be described as tapestries, provide much-needed therapy for the groups that create them. And though, Manier says, the groups are
primarily made up of women, men have been known to pick up a needle. “They find an artistic outlet they didn’t know they had,” she says. You’ll find pieces from Guatemala, Chile, the United States, Pakistan and elsewhere, and though the scope of the show is ultimately under 15 pieces, it runs a rather impressive gamut of materials and styles. “These people aren’t writing their lives, they’re sewing them,” Manier continues. “It’s aspects of their lives that we might take for granted, but that are universal; people are evicted all over the world. How do they react to that? How do they cope with natural disasters?” Sewing Stories will certainly provide some insight into the daily lives of the artists behind the pieces. “They tell us a lot,” Manier tells SFR. “They tell us a lot about the lives that are disappearing because of displacement, globalization and modernization.” (Alex De Vore)

“
live in the Hamptons, which is known for its beautiful beaches and mansions and parties,” photographer Jeremy Dennis (Shinnecock) tells SFR. “A quarter out of the year, there’s business, there’s economy, and the other three-quarters, you have a lot of vacant storefronts, boarded up spaces, for lease signs, wasted space, but…for us, it’s our full-time home.” Dennis is describing a series he’s working on, dubbed The Lazy. In the images, mainly of Dennis himself dressed in what he describes as “traditional Northeast regalia,” he poses either inside or near vacant storefronts and otherwise abandoned buildings. He wants to shine a light on that wasted space, particularly as it applies to an area of the country that seemingly only fires up into life when well-to-do white folks deign it so. It’s a concept he says is particularly difficult for Indigenous people who so famously have had their land stolen across North America (and elsewhere), and it’s part of the reason Dennis has come to Santa Fe for the 2020 Labor Residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute, where he’ll live and work for the next several months. In his artist statement, Dennis ponders the potential impact and meaning of The Lazy, saying that it “reflects upon early stages of colonization, focusing on the paradox of new worlds and continents as being both occupied by its Indigenous people but also empty and ready for settlement.”
Photographer Jeremy Dennis is in the midst of a Santa Fe Art Institute residency. He’s also looking for models of any age, ethnicity and gender—visit jeremynative.com to contact him.
Santa Fe, he says, faces similar concerns, though our housing crisis is arguably more about a lack of spaces. Still, the city has seen empty buildings sit for ages while locals toil in search of housing or workable space, and Dennis says the crux of the matter is similar: People in Santa Fe—and, like most everywhere, disproportionately people of color—often lack access to land and spaces. For Native people, Dennis says, it’s particularly maddening.

“Coming from New York and a tribe east of the Mississippi, even our neighbors willfully ignore our presence,” he says. “Even what the government has given us is a way to assimilate or erase us.” The Lazy is still a work in progress, and Dennis says even he isn’t sure what will wind up in the completed series. Still, he’s no stranger to tackling tough issues with camera in hand. In his 2018 series Rise, he examined misconceptions about Native America through the use of pop cul-
A&C
ture-esque zombie tropes. In the series, groups of Natives ominously sneak up on or threateningly surround white people. It’s somehow alarmingly powerful and humorous all at once. Some shots even look like Renaissance paintings, and while Dennis’ post-shoot editing work is fantastic, his compositional eye is refreshing and bold. Candids these are not, but with his model work, Dennis has captured what appear to be terrifying moments in motion; that fluidity is undeniably fascinating. “I wanted to use the symbolism of the traditional Native figure in a way that links us to the present,” he explains. “But it’s also about bringing non-Indigenous people into my work, about scenes you might see in a scary movie—but it’s allegorical.” Why would Natives be scary? “People don’t want to meet us,” Dennis says. “They just want to have a tipi in their backyard.” As for the future, Dennis says he a number of projects in the works, but his ultimate goal might stretch back to the continuation of work he began in 2016. That year, he was awarded $10,000 from the nonprofit Running Strong for American Indian Youth for a project called On This Site. For a full year, Dennis traveled Long Island cataloguing and photographing important cultural sites. With the data, he created an interactive satellite map ( jeremynative.com/onthissite). There are still numerous residencies to apply for and work within, Dennis says, but one day, perhaps, he could see On This Site transforming into a nonprofit. “I love the idea of that potential,” he says. “There are just so many options.”

Two abstract musicians on making the soundtrack to our subconscious
BY AEDRA BURKE a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

here’s something exciting that happens when you take a left turn from pop and such to explore the deeper recesses of what can be considered music. You don’t really listen for musical content, rather, you try to identify and listen for the small ideas that don’t always make sense. It might feel like a childhood memory of a favorite pet, your weird astrological associations to your social security number (No one? Just me? OK, then) or the creeping feeling of existential dread that sits at the back of your neck where things stop having overt meaning and start having a primal impact. “It doesn’t seem that unusual to me,” says Jeff Witscher, who performs in Santa Fe on Saturday, Feb. 22 at DIY artspace Etiquette. “I think it’s definitely much more abstract, but I do think that there is a narrative quality to it.” Witscher’s last album, aggressively titled Approximately 1,000 Beers, is a collection of cryptic sonic experiments that genuinely defy comparison. Acoustic and electronic instruments collide with field recordings captured by Witscher and computerized vocals to create unsettling moods and introspection.

NO COVER COURTESY LUKE BERN CARR
Last time we did a proper check-in with musician Luke Bern Carr, we dug deep into the history of his band, Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand. But Carr is no stranger to other bands like Pitch & Bark, nor is he a slouch as a solo songwriter. It’s been seven years since he released his debut Pigrow (still easily one of the best records I own), but there’s a new album about to drop and a multi-faceted label called Bernlore to launch along with it. Hit the party this Saturday (2 pm Saturday Feb. 22. $5-$10 suggested donation. Lost Padre Records, 905 1/2 W Alameda St., 310-6389) for that sweet Carr action, plus performances from Scissor Lift and Lightning Cult’s Mike Marchant. We caught up with Carr to learn more. (Alex De Vore) What have you been up to since we last spoke? I’ve lived up in the Española Valley for the last 2 years, and I finished producing what will be my second solo album. I was considering what to do with it once it was done, and I was also really getting more into film work and realizing I wanted to build something that could hold all the work I was doing. So that basically means I’ve started a label, Bernlore. It’s a record label and a studio label. Can you tell us more about Bernlore and the new album? It’s not just music; it’s ultimately focused on creating original content and, at the same time, offering services. The name itself...Bernard is one of my middle names; it was my grandpa’s name. I went through so many different names that I wanted to call this thing, but my grandma always used to call my grandpa Bern, and I always loved that name. For me it’s coming to a point in my life where I realized I’m creating things I want to leave behind. I’ve got pieces of furniture around my house that my grandpa made or other family members made—it was about creating something that is not just about me, but something I want to give to other people. The newest record, the to-be-released record is…it’s not directly part of [Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand], it’s way more rooted in myself, in a personal world. It’s not as fantastical or anything. There are threads, for sure, that come up but, ultimately, it’s the most personal work I’ve ever done. This is maybe the most solo album I’ll ever undertake. I play everything on the record. I did have people collaborate with me, like [local musician] Nathan Smerage when I was writing and arranging, and I’ve gotten ears on it in terms of mixing and support, but as far as the sounds on the record, I did all of it. Recorded it, mixed it, mastered it. I’m going to release it like an album, with a film aspect to it as well. What’s next? Have we seen the end of Storming the Beaches? No. There’s a Storming the Beaches record that has been recorded and is yet to be finished. Building Bernlore— getting the platform and starting to release a lot of different music under that label—I think, is going to start to build the mosaic of all the different stories I’m trying to tell. The Storming the Beaches record that has been recorded is like a three-piece rock record, me, Nathan Smerage on bass, Andrew Dixon on drums. I haven’t listened since we recorded the tracks, which is very much on purpose. I wanted to hear it with fresh ears some years later.

repes are deceptively simple to make. They’re basically an eggy, thin pancake, and it probably only takes about 10-20 tries to get pretty good at the technique of spinning, flipping and folding (traditional buckwheat crepes are a more difficult beast, but that’s for an advanced class). I first tried my hand at crepisserie in my home kitchen at age 12, which is around the same time I started faking a French accent full-time and making up Frenchy-sounding words like crepisserie. That first attempt was a dreadful flop, but I learned how to make crepes in earnest last summer at the Plazafacing creperie Cafe Atalaya (66 E San Francisco St. Ste. 11, 990-8058), which opened in 2018. Crepe griddles along the big front window attract passing tourists, who love to gawk at the fluid spinning motion and the finesse of spreading Nutella on warm crepes (bread and circus, all in one!). The simplicity of the pastry lends itself to being elevated in countless ways, of which Cafe Atalaya, where I haven’t worked in some time, has some commendable efforts: a turkey club crepe ($10.95) is hugely popular, along with a sweet cajeta ($8.95) made with goat’s milk caramel.
A spin through the city’s best creperies
ists, which I suppose explains the steep price of the simple crepes. I was really into the flavor of the ratatouille filling, but the crepe itself was soggy, even in the areas that weren’t touching the filling. It wasn’t a bad dish by any means, but for its claims of authenticity and a price tag of $13, I was left a little underwhelmed. The folks making crepes further away from the downtown tourism core were the ones that impressed me most. Craving a classic, I stopped for a Nutella banana ($7.25) crepe at Sagche’s Coffee House (730 St. Michaels Dr., 780-5263), which I feel should actually call itself Sagche’s Power House for all the great stuff it whips up besides coffee. Brothers Erwin and Walfre Sagche offer a variety of sweet
But there’s been a recent proliferation of cafes offering crepes within the past year. I set out to try crepes from four different places in town, two downtown and two further south, and the results… were varied. Let’s start with the least successful of them all. For all their delicious breakfast sandwiches, bagels and inventive pastries (pan du carne adovada, anyone?), the turkey-spinach-bechamel crepe ($8.95) I was served at Boultawn’s Bakery and Cafe (105 E Marcy St., 983-9006) was not quite a crepe, but a pancake. The ingredients were disparate and not a cohesive whole, and the bechamel lacked flavor on the tongue (but presented the nose with an odd…fishy smell?). I passed most of it on to a coworker, but I’ll definitely be back for a croissant. My next favorite crepe I tried would be the ratatouille crepe from the French Pastry Shop and Creperie The crepes at Crepas-Oh! are (100 E San Francisco just as delicious St.;983-6697). Located in as they are La Fonda on the Plaza, the photogenic. eatery mainly caters to tour-

and savory crepes, like bacon or chorizo ($7.95), peach ($6.50) or mixed fruit ($7.95). Mine was served quickly and cooked almost perfectly, with a lovely golden brown on one side. If I had to offer one hesitant and totally unnecessary criticism, it’d be that bites of crepe alone without filling were a bit rubbery rather than spongey—perhaps from a tad too much egg? This won’t prevent me from ordering a crepe again in the future, but it does earn Sagche’s a hard-won second place in our competition. The most impressive menu out of the bunch is definitely at Crepas-Oh! (1382 Vegas Verdes, 257-8775), a delightful little hole-in-the-wall behind the Olive Garden. Everyone, do yourselves a favor—visit this delightful cafe. I was lucky enough to have the dining room to myself at 9 am, and received prompt and friendly service. The crepe offerings are inventive, with a Cubano ($12) loaded with pork, ham, cheese, mustard, mayo, avocado and chipotle sauce, and a “build your sauce, own” option catching my eye on the savory side. I settled on a chocolate crepe ber with mixed berries ($8.50) on the sweet side, although it was a major toss up be between that and the Crepe-lime Pie, with lime custard and graham cracker crumbs, and the peaches and cream and… it’s a big menu, ok? The crepe was served beautifully, with slightly crispy edges and just enough filling to taste but not enough to overwhelm or dampen the crepe. Three bites in, I was already tex texting my friends—“Y’all wanna go out for crepes tomorrow morning?”

Sonic the Hedgehog Review The blue blur hits the big screen

MOVIES 6
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
Understand this right out of the gate: Sonic the Hedgehog is a movie for kids. Yeah, yeah, you grew up with Sonic (and Tails and Knuckles and Amy and Big the Cat), and you want to feel the nostalgia and blah blah blah—just stop it. It’s Sega. For kids. And yet, as movies based on video games and/or little more than nostalgia go, it’s not as soullessly awful as you’d assume. Yes, it’s true the animation company behind the film (Canada’s Moving Picture Company Vancouver) shut down after fierce fan backlash over the original Sonic’s uncanny-valley-as-fuck design delayed the opening and caused a laborintensive overhaul of the film’s CGI. But if you can disconnect yourself from how toxic fans ruin everything long enough to catch this—as well as how weird it feels to give a deep backstory to an ancient video game about a fast-talkin’ and faster-running hedgehog—it’s, like, pretty OK. The story’s weird—a powerful hedgehog (his name is Sonic) has cool powers, so of course evil forces want the powers. Luckily, this particular powerful hedgehog was raised by an owl with a sack of powerful rings that work like inter-dimensional portals. When the baddies come, the owl sends Sonic away (with its powers) to small-town Earth,
+ DORKY AND
FUN; SONIC GROWS ON YOU - CASTING FOR THE MARSDEN ROLE WAS PROBABLY LIKE “ANY OK-LOOKING MAN”
where he falls victim to heavy isolation, turns weird and builds a life, sort of. Somehow, Sonic gets noticed by the human people he’s been hiding from for years without any trouble whatsoever. The government isn’t down, so they send super-scientist Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carey) to investigate. He likes robots, is evil. To escape, Sonic enlists the help of a local sheriff (James Marsden), and together they hit the road, navigating explosions and friendship and enjoying jokes about how Sonic can run really fast. They also diss Mario a little, but that one’s just for the parents and the olds who go see the flick. Again, it’s for kids, and if this newspaper were aimed only at children, this thing would be a straight 10 out of 10 (the kids in our theater could not have laughed harder): The special effects are a blast, there are butt jokes aplenty, Sonic is cute and sassy and voiced by Parks and Rec alum Ben Schwartz with just the right combo of sweet and salty. Carey in particular becomes enjoyably
strange, especially in solo scenes that showcase his special brand of insanity. Marsden’s character could’ve been played by anyone, and the same goes for his wife (Southside With You’s Tika Sumpter), a black actress who literally is told by her cop husband at one point that he’s going to “abuse his power as an officer of the law,” which, to us, seems absurdly tone-deaf and shitty. But then it’s back to the explosions and speed and the setting up of a sequel. Early reports say Sonic has had the best opening of any gamebased film ever, so that’s something. In the end? See it if you have kids, pretend you didn’t rent it on Amazon later if you don’t. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Directed by Jeff Fowler With Carey, Schwarz, Marsden and Sumpter Violet Crown, Regal (both locations) 99 min.

Incitement shows us the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin from the viewpoint of his assassin, Yigal Amir.
+ BEAUTIFULLY SHOT AND ACTED - SUPPORTING CAST IS BARELY THERE; SLOW
Though he’s been more of a writer up to now, Israeli filmmaker Yaron Zilberman tackles directing duties with Incitement, a stark yet powerful drama that portrays the lead-up to prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s 1995 assassination from the point of view of the killer. Yehuda Nahari Halevi is Yigal Amir, a young nationalist and law student who, in the time of the ’90s Oslo Accords, which were meant to bring peace between Israel and Palestine, heeds numerous right-wing rabbis who advise him that Jewish law states anyone willing to give up Israeli land be sentenced to death. We’ve seen assassination films before, though Zilberman’s take is refreshing if startling. Rather than paint in broad strokes that define a killer as a one-dimensional evil, we instead observe the slow burn factors that radicalize but humanize him. Failed relationships, political friends, hateful rhetoric and even deeply religious men lead Amir along his path, and Halevi’s performance manages to bring a more nuanced understanding of the real world events together without forcing us to hate anyone.
LITTLE WOMEN
He’s wonderful, by the way—quiet when necessary, but imposing in his rigid beliefs and actions. Same goes for the rabbis who advise him, though the better term might be scary; Zilberman points out in a post-film text crawl that none were ever arrested or charged for their roles in Rabin’s death. It’s a shame the supporting cast feels so inconsequential, particularly a stalled thread that reveals an Amir collaborator as an Israeli Secret Service informant. Same goes for Amir’s family, who try to reach him but fail, as well as a potential love interest whose rabbi uncle, we’re told, had some part, though it’s never made clear what that was. Still, we somehow sympathize with Zilberman’s Amir even as we know what he’s planning. He feels more lost and manipulated than he does hateful, even as he clings steadfast to his convictions. Incitement even picked up Best Film honors from Israel’s Ophir Awards (and, reportedly, was short-listed for America’s Oscars), and should go a long way toward educating folks about the situation over there. Obviously there are no good answers, and assassination is the action of the desperate. But even so, if we can try to understand the motivations of the man behind the slaying, we might better understand the tragedy. (ADV)

wildly boring Victor Zsasz and a wooden young pickpocket played by Ella Jay Basco. But it’s Robbie’s show, and we never forget it—from the kick-ass fight under fire sprinklers to her legitimately hilarious mannerisms and off-thewall weirdness. Perhaps the best course of action is to look at the things they’re not overtly saying—that teamwork works, that women aren’t defined by their partners, that Ewan McGregor is a pretty fun villain. Think of it more like a summer thing and try to enjoy yourself. What else is there, even? (ADV)

THE GENTLEMEN
6 Just because Birds of Prey had a title change to include the name of its lead character Harley Quinn post-release doesn’t mean it’s not...fine.
HARLEY QUINN: BIRDS OF PREY
7
+ ROBBIE! ROSIE PEREZ! ASS-KICKING! - MESSINA; THE KID; SOME REAL STUPID JOKES
One recalls a time when we longed for comic book movies that took the medium seriously, though one also recalls that we’ve since been smothered by such films. It just…won’t…stop. Lucky, then, that the character Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, is based on a cartoon character created by the inimitable Paul Dini for the ’90s Batman animated series, and lucky, then, that Margot Robbie feels some sort of affinity for her—she’s fucking fun. Yes, 2016’s Suicide Squad was a disaster of a movie, but there was one shining light hidden within the garbage—Robbie. Her take on the Joker’s girlfriend was so fun and charming that we longed for more. Of course, nobody wanted to make the standalone film (some bullshit in Hollywood about how nobody wants to see women-led movies), so Robbie stepped up to produce herself (along with a woman-heavy creative team including director Cathy Yan and writer Christina Hodson), and it’s a good thing she did—Birds of Prey is some of the most fun you can have at the movies. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s good, per se. Or, actually, that it’s bad. But we don’t really need to assign those descriptors here, because it’s really more about the journey or something, right? Right. Point is, this is about the most high-ac-
tion, popcorn-chomping, bone-breaking, crossbow-shooting good time one can have in theaters right now, so just leave the good/bad dichotomy out of this, K? Robbie reprises the role of Harley Quinn in the weeks after splitting with the Crown Prince of Crime. Turns out she’d been a bit of a jerk during their relationship, though, and now everyone who was too scared of Joker to do anything about it has come to collect their pound of flesh. It’s mainly rank and file baddies, low-level henchmen and goons and such. But for Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor), there are much higher stakes and much more violent means to explore. Quinn must form a posse of badass women (played by Rosie Perez, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell) to handle the situation, and so she does—and they’re badass, indeed. Birds of Prey winds up a far more violent film than other DC properties (Superman and Batman don’t kill people), and certainly a less gritty take on Gotham City. It’s dark, yes, but never loses the humorous threads that make it so enjoyable. Robbie in particular shines as a wronged woman reclaiming her power, and the support that women show other women even under the worst circumstances is a breath of fresh air in a medium where they’re often portrayed as catty, jealous and dimensionless vessels for male reactionary bullshit. It makes McGregor all the more nefarious and worthy of hate, it makes Rosie Perez look like the champion she is. Oh, there are missteps, like Chris Messina’s
+ MINDLESSLY ENJOYABLE - SEXUAL ASSAULT; SOOOOO DUDE-ISH
“It’s a Guy Ritchie movie,” I said over the phone, “so it’ll probably be a convoluted if mildly intriguing story set against a laundry list of gangster types and played out over a super-hip soundtrack of throwback bangers.” “Word,” my friend said. “That sounds fine.” And fine it was, because The Gentlemen is exactly what you’d expect from the venerable British director as he returns to the organized crime genre—a steady stream of UK-based businesspeople who work in the business of drugs and shooting people and stuff. It’s…fine. Yeah, it’s fine. We follow the quiet yet violent Mickey (Matthew McConaughey who seemingly treats this role with the same lifeless energy he affords his Lincoln commercials), a Londonbased, American-born crime boss—presumably because nobody wanted him to even take a crack at a British accent—who, after building a massive weed empire over a few decades, is ready to leave the game and spend more time with his wife (Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery). He’s even lined up a buyer in the form of American bazillionaire Matthew (Jeremy Strong of HBO’s Succession, who seems to be trying out some kind of Truman Capote vibe but mostly fails and is awful), but when a ruthless Chinese up-and-comer who goes by Dry Eyes (Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding) pops in to try and buy the farm(s) at a lower price at the same time a tabloid boss decides to ruin Mickey for a perceived social snub, everything starts falling apart and people gots to get got. Cue soulful bassline. So, setting aside the needless premise that much of the story is related in flashbacks and didn’t-really-happen vignettes as told by a smarmy PI (Hugh Grant) to Mickey’s number
one guy (Charlie Hunnam), The Gentlemen does find time to interject some mini-mystery and humor into its otherwise glum tale of drugs and crime and stuff. Colin Farrell practically saves the movie as a boxing coach mentor to a gaggle of social media-obsessed roustabouts who run afoul of Mickey, and Hunnam’s buttoned-down murderer vibe definitely works. It’s just that McConaughey really phones it in, and we can’t say much more for Strong. Actually, at least McConaughey has a few brief moments of badass or charming; Strong just flounders among the more experienced and/or talented cast members. Golding, for example, makes for a fairly enjoyable villain—right up until the utterly needless sexual assault scene (can we just get these out of movies, already?) bookended with a bullet or two, and Dockery, who is criminally underutilized here, cuts out a notably interesting performance. Still, much of The Gentlemen feels like a pubescent male power fantasy wherein badasses gleefully kill and make up weird business rules and the women around them grab their junk before disappearing until their next big plot device moment. Blah, blah, blah. But if you can shut off your brain and go into it knowing you’ll see some guns and weed—and laugh at Farrell’s honestly wonderful supporting role—you should be fine. Yeah, fine.

+ IMMERSIVE AND INTENSE; SHOT BEAUTIFULLY
- VERY LITTLE STORY
World War I went down at such a strange cusp in human history—the politics, the evolving technology, the rapidly changing world—that it wound up trapped between modernist experimental ideas and the tail end of aging battlefield tactics. The weaponry, for example, was the most lethal and advanced ever conceived at the time, and those who used it were so new to the equipment that the violence borne down from all sides was some new kind of horrific. Director Sam Mendes (Skyfall) knows this intimately, because his newest, the harrowing 1917, turns out to be based on a true story related by his grandfather Alfred, who was really there in the trenches of France when the German army enacted a strategic retreat to sow discord, false confidence and confusion among the British troops. We’re thrown into the fray immediately as Lance Corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay) are ordered by a high-ranking general to carry a ceasefire letter across enemy lines to a hubristic colonel hellbent CONTINUED ON PAGE 35

on pushing the perceived advantage and dug in with 1,600 men some miles away. If they fail, Chapman and Schofield are told, it’ll be a massacre; they’ll need to go on foot, and the stakes are even higher as Blake’s older brother is meant to lead a garrison into battle at the new front line. Much has been made of Mendes’ seemingly cut-free film, and one really must see it to believe it. 1917 is a technical marvel both in terms of immersion and pacing, but this is no meathead, glory of war nonsense crammed with action scenes and bulging muscles. The violence plays out more on a macro scale, and the conditions facing our heroes are actually few and rather muted; the tone is one of quiet desperation more than it is of fearless heroes meting out righteous bullets at a faceless enemy. In fact, 1917 does not glorify or try to justify war, it simply tells a story contained therein. It’s not all grand. Sometimes a massive scene crammed with extras wears thin, seemingly drawn out to justify the large scope. Nobody listens to anyone, either, and a scene with a mudbound truck just feels pointless. Of course, it’s possible Mendes was trying to honor his grandfather by including smaller events, and they even sort of humanize some of the nameless soldiers. But the true surprise of the film are the moments of beauty that sneak up on us: cherry blossoms sailing through the wind, a bucket of milk discovered undisturbed, new life growing from the rubble of a destroyed country town—hope, above all else.

filmmaker to grapple with contemporary readers’ dissatisfaction with the marriage plot of Little Women. But she is the first to navigate it in a satisfying way. While the film captures cinematically the domestic warmth of the story—the March home is cozy and the sisters bedecked in costumes for the plays they put on for one another and the frocks they wear to parties—it also breaks a domestic story wide open. Gerwig accomplishes this with a narrative sliceand-dice of the original story’s timeline, and an imagined amplification of Jo’s career as a writer. Ronan acts winningly as Jo, a surrogate for Alcott, who hoped her heroine could end up a literary spinster. “I’m sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for,” Jo says to her mother Marmee (Laura Dern). Alcott also was sick of it. She was involved in the women’s suffrage movement, and the first women to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts. Little Women doesn’t just pass the Bechdel test; it pays tribute to a woman writer who pushed at the constraints of her time. (Julia Goldberg)

+ MERYL STREEP AS MEAN AUNT MARCH - NOT ENOUGH STREEP
It is a truth universally acknowledged that women in the 19th century didn’t have a plethora of options (nor did they in the 18th century, which is when another famous novel about sisters was written from which this review’s opening lines are cribbed). Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women tells the story of four sisters: Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth March (Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen), growing up poor in New England during the Civil War. Despite having little, the sisters have spunk and dreams. Particularly Jo who, like Alcott, is the writer in the family. Little Women was a huge hit when it was published in 1868-69, and it has never been out of print since then. And yet, at the same time, it’s a problematic text if you don’t like stories about women getting married. Director Greta Gerwig is not the first

MOONCAKE and MIDORIYA are wonderful 9 month old siblings. They were born into foster care and both are very well socialized. MOONCAKE is a sweet girl that loves to play with toys and to chase her brother MIDORIYA. They both love to snuggle and have hearty purrs. They get along fine with other cats, dogs, and would play well with children. Sadly, these two have been waiting a long time for the right family to adopt them. THEY CAN BE SEEN INSIDE OUR HABITAT AT TECA TU AT THE DEVARGAS CENTER.

GRACIE MAY was rescued as a stray and brought to the SFAS. She had a severe injury to her back leg that resulted in the need for amputation. SFAS asked F&F to take her into our care, in the hopes we could find her a forever home. She is shy and timid, but is also very sweet when she feels safe. This 9 month old gets along fine as a tripod kitty. She is curious about other cats in our care and would most likely do fine in a home with another gentle kitty for companionship. SHE CAN BE SEEN BY APPOINTMENT.

Do you have room in your heart for a senior just looking to live his best life? Alvin has zest and vigor, and his retirement should be spent in a loving home where he can ride out the sunset on a warm bed with some leisurely walks and a soft hand giving ear scratches. We know it might not sound great: Alvin has bad knees, arthritis, cataracts, hearing loss, and heartworm. But this guy has a smile that won’t quit and eyes that light up a room — he’s got more sparkle to spare in that wonky ear of his than most of us could ever hope to muster! He’s housetrained and uses a doggie door; he lives for car rides and walks, he loves to give kisses, and he’ll follow his people anywhere with joy and an adventurous spirit. Alvin is available from our shelter, open Mon-Wed and Fri-Sun, closed Thursdays. Please call first to schedule so his foster family can have Alvin hop in the truck to meet you: 505-753-8662.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you feel ready to change your mind about an idea or belief or theory that has been losing its usefulness? Would you consider changing your relationship with a once-powerful influence that is becoming less crucial to your life-long goals? Is it possible you have outgrown one of your heroes or teachers? Do you wonder if maybe it’s time for you to put less faith in a certain sacred cow or overvalued idol? According to my analysis of your astrological omens, you’ll benefit from meditating on these questions during the coming weeks.
future, as will the number of dreamhome-less Virgos. In fact, I expect you folks will experience extra amounts of domestic bliss in the coming months. You may feel more at home in the world than ever before. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I don’t require everyone I learn from to be an impeccable saint. If I vowed to draw inspiration only from those people who flawlessly embody every one of my ethical principles, there’d be no one to be inspired by. Even one of my greatest heroes, Martin Luther King Jr., cheated on his wife and plagiarized parts of his doctoral dissertation. Where do you stand on this issue, Libra? I bet you will soon be tested.
