ACTING OUT, MAY 15:

“COPS GET NEW CLUBHOUSE”

“SEEING HERSELF OUT”

NOT FUNNY I usually enjoy the 7 Days column and the Reporter, but the item on “Anonymous Investors Loan $360,000 to offset Fraternal Order of Police Lodge Tax Debt” was over the top snarky, mean-spirited, and immature. What exactly is wrong with private money (not public funds) being used to help our city’s police officers and retired officers have a hang out place, where they can have a cold beer with some colleagues and chill out? The Reporter has no idea how these anonymous investors may choose to use their own money to support other charitable works, so how is it that you get to judge them? I suppose this means that SFR is also opposed to VFW halls? Please, let’s hear your position on combat veterans getting a chance to chill out with a friend and a cold one. Is that a waste of money as well? With this sort of attitude, it’s no wonder our SFPD officers are leaving for Albuquerque or Rio Rancho, where they can get more respect, better pay, and more affordable housing. Maybe you SFR guys need a club house of your own, where you could relax, think a lot harder about what community really means, and maybe work up a small bit of compassion for those men and women who come running

INJECT YOURSELF It was refreshing to read a review of local theater that did not critique the writing, the interpretation or the overall performance of the actors, or decide whether the costumes and sets were appropriate. Instead you discussed the production as it was perceived by an audience member. A theater piece should be judged—if that’s even the right word—on its ability to engage the audience. I also enjoyed your in-kind comments on Uncle Vanya and likewise believe that our community should embrace more performance art that is experimental, interactive or, as you put it, really weird shit. In order to have a thriving theater community, we need to be inclusive and positive about classic pieces and the contemporary version of the art in all its related forms and expressions. Thank you for keeping us open-minded as well as informed.

A Q&A with the most underrated candidate for CD3: Teresa Leger Fernandez

WILL COSTELLO

Leger Lines

BY W I L L CO ST E L LO w i l l @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

n a race against a crowded field that includes a famous former spy outed by the Bush administration, it can be tough to stand out. Teresa Leger Fernandez hopes her policies and her connection to the region, along with some experience in theater, will do it for her in the Democratic primary race for New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District next year against Valerie Plame and Marco Serna, among others. A Latina lawyer who represents tribal governments at Santa Febased Leger Law & Strategy, Leger says that she knows the people of this community and understands their concerns, and has experience finding solutions. She also played a pivotal role in getting Santa Fe to hold its first ranked-choice election, and was vice-chair of President Obama’s Advisory Council for Historic Preservation. She agreed to sit down with SFR to chat about her campaign. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

SFR: What’s your Santa Fe story? I moved here when I was 17. I graduated from West Las Vegas High School and moved to Santa Fe so I could work and earn money to pay for college. So literally I moved here the Saturday after I graduated and worked here with Jerry Ortiz y Pino, who is now a [state] senator. I did a little internship there, and then after that I worked as a secretary or as a waitress for the Pink Adobe, in the Dragon Room. I then got into Yale. And I would always go to Yale, and come back and work at the Pink Adobe. And you got your law degree from Yale too? No, I got my undergraduate degree from Yale, and then I came back to New Mexico and did teatro, theater, which was really great. … In those days, there really were not Latinos on stage, and our stories were not being put on stage. So it was a theater company that was putting on original Spanish, New Mexico playwrights. I always had this big interest in

culture, art, and the important role that culture plays in maintaining community and sense of place. So I came back and did theater for a year and went to graduate school. But somebody who knew me better than I did said that I would be a better lawyer than a graduate student. He was right. I was great at law, it just clicked. I was meant to be an advocate, so I went to Stanford Law School. What were you doing in grad school before? I was at UT Austin doing economic development and planning. Then I came home and was looking for a job, and was lucky enough to get hired at the Nordhaus Law Firm. They represent tribes, and a lot of their work that I have done with tribes and pueblos over the years was in economic development. So I had this graduate work in economic development planning. I kind of put it together as an advocate as well as the economic development background. And that’s a lot of the work I’ve done, not just for tribes but in other areas for New Mexico as well.

If we’re going to fix something, let’s fix it so it creates opportunity. -Teresa Leger Fernandez

You’ve pushed for a ranked-choice voting system in the past. How did that issue get on your radar and why do you think it’s important? I do voting rights act litigation as well as advocacy. I’ve had several pieces of legislation to increase access to the polls, including getting early voting places where they were not providing early voting in the past, and I do the voting rights act issues for redistricting. And I win those cases every 10 years. … So Fair Vote and some other organizations that care about good governance came to me

NEWS

and said, ‘You know the city of Santa Fe, the voters of Santa Fe, passed this charter amendment.’ Not a law, a charter amendment. That’s the constitution of the city. And they passed it 10 years ago, and the city refused to implement it, always coming up with a reason not to. And they said, ‘Can we do something about this?’ and I said: ‘You bet we can. We can sue ’em.’ … And we won. We took it up to the Supreme Court. … When voters vote for something, and they vote it into law and the constitution, you need to respect that. You need to respect elections. And the second thing is, ranked choice elections make a lot of sense. It is a much better way of doing elections. What are the signature issues of your platform for Congress? There’s so many: I believe that we have an existential crisis in climate change, and we need to address that. But the way we address climate change, we can actually look to creating opportunities in terms of economic development, environmental justice, economic justice and other things so we are building solutions to other things. I’m in favor of the Green New Deal, but what I’m going to talk about is, how does that impact New Mexico? Some of the solutions to climate change will create jobs for New Mexico; will create jobs for this district. It’s all-encompassing? It’s all-encompassing. If we’re going to fix something, let’s fix it so it creates opportunity. That’s a very large part of my platform. We need to bring 21stcentury infrastructure to Northern New Mexico. Our broadband is pretty darn skinny. We can’t do the things we need to do in today’s economy if we don’t have fast, affordable access to broadband. [And] women’s issues. I could go on, but those are just two. Given what’s happened this week, I think we all deserve to be angry. Regarding the abortion bills? Yeah. But I also believe, in addition to saying, ‘We need to respect a woman’s right to decide what to do with regards to these very sensitive issues around her own reproductive decisions,’ we also need to fully fund those facilities like Planned Parenthood. We have to support La Familia [Medical Center] because they’re providing access for low-income women for reproductive counseling, to medical care. … And it’s not just abortion; it’s those other aspects of reproductive healthcare that we need to have access to—cervical cancer screenings, preventive care—all of those things women need to have access to, and it needs to be funded.

Santa Fe Extension Master Gardenrs organize this community herb garden and the new seed library.

Seeds of Resilience 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

ith hundreds of tiny white petals clustered atop long green stems, the flowers of D Carota Sativus, the common domesticated carrot, look nearly identical to Queen Anne’s Lace, the white blooms of the carrot’s wild cousin, Daucus Carota. Because carrots are biennials, meaning they bloom only every other year, few home gardeners are likely to know what the plant looks like when it flowers unless the tuber was left in the ground with the intention of saving its seeds at the end two full growing seasons. This is precisely what the founders of Santa Fe’s newly launched public seed library hope to encourage. The art of seed-saving, once a common and necessary practice among subsistence farmers and backyard veggie-patchers, was nearly forgotten in the wake of industrial agriculture’s genetically modified seeds designed to last no more than a single season and the convenience of seed packets sold in grocery stores and nurseries to small-scale farmers and athome gardeners. SFR previously reported that researchers estimate 75% of the world’s seed diversity in food crops has been lost in less than a century—a worrisome fact considering scientists have also shown regionally adapted crop varieties and heirloom seeds to be far more resilient to unpredictable weather patterns than their mass-produced counterparts. Yet as communities become aware of the importance of preserving and expanding the genetic diversity within

our regional food systems, the rise in popularity of seed libraries across the country and organizations such as the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance signal the resurgence of the age-old practice of saving seed. The new seed library at the Santa Fe Public Library’s Southside Branch is one of them. “It makes a lot of sense for seed exchanges to be happening at public libraries,” says Brita Souer, the library services director at the Santa Fe Public Library Main Branch, who started the Santa Fe seed library in collaboration with the Santa Fe Extension Master Gardeners, a volunteer-run organization that educates the public about gardening. “Libraries have always been the place where sharing of knowledge happens. As a cultural resource, seeds have as much cultural and biological information as a book.” Souer started a seed library in Albuquerque five years ago and announced the intention to start one here soon after she moved to Santa Fe. The timing was perfect, says Christine Salem, a member of the SFEMG’s Seed Stewards project. “We were just considering how to start a seed library in Santa Fe ourselves. We were so excited to partner with the public library and provide the educational component to the project.” On a shelf to the left of the library entrance, the seeds are held in boxes of brown paper envelopes, each carefully labeled. A library card isn’t required to check out seed packets, but borrowers are asked to log the seeds, take no more than five packets per person and save the seeds from some of the plants they grow to return to the library’s collection. Even-

Santa Fe’s new seed library hopes to foster resilience of local food systems tually, says Souer, “the hope is to create a collection that is made up of seeds adapted to this area.” Packets are marked with the level of difficulty in saving seed from plants grown at home. A green sticker indicates plants that are self-pollinating and easy for beginners, yellow stickers include biennials, such as carrots and insectpollinated plants that must be grown with care so that they do not cross-pollinate. Red stickers mark plants that are windpollinated and require advanced seed-

saving methods. Members of the SFEMG are at the Southside Library Branch from 1-4 pm on Saturday afternoons to answer questions and give further planting advice. Souer and Salem recommend that participants keep detailed journals if they plan to return seeds so that staff can vet the quality and likelihood of cross-pollination. The library only accepts donations of seed grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers and does not accept hybrids or GMO varieties. Since March, the seed library has distributed nearly 500 packets. Souer tells SFR she hopes the seed library will help combat future food insecurity and food deserts that could become a more pressing issue as the Southside continues to expand. Salem says that the seed library also supports local traditions. “There’s a real cultural aspect to saving seed in New Mexico. There are seed stories that go along with the practice,” says Salem. “Maybe the story includes how that seed expressed itself, where it came from; maybe this seed is one that has been grown by your family for generations. Maybe the story includes words from an Indigenous language. It’s about awareness of food systems and seed sovereignty, but also literally about going back to our roots and remembering how we got to where we are.” The Southside library hosts a plant swap this weekend, where participants are welcome to bring and trade extra starts from their gardens and house plant clippings. Future events include a drip irrigation class on June 5 and seed-saving workshops towards the end of the growing season; find out more at the “events” section at santafelibrary.org. PLANT SWAP

Seeds are available for the taking at the Southside Library.

wines may be our state’s best-kept secret. But not for long.” While many are relatively unknown outside the state, New Mexico wines are as diverse as its landscape. As the state approaches its 400th anniversary of viticulture, growers, producers and trade groups are preparing for their time in the spotlight. COURTESY CHRIS GOBLET

am a relatively new New Mexican, bidding adieu to the rolling wheat fields and lush vineyards of another adopted home, Walla Walla, Washington, just over two years ago. In Walla Walla, I wrote about winemakers and, unwittingly, even found myself growing wine grapes. Upon moving to Santa Fe, a friend in the wine industry told me to be sure to visit Gruet Winery’s then-new tasting room. I had always assumed, due to the wide distribution of its ubiquitous bubbles, that Gruet was produced in California. I had a little jaw-drop moment learning that not only is the winery in New Mexico, but that its NV Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine earned the #43 spot on Wine Spectator’s 2011 “Top 100 Wines of the World” list and had been named “one of America’s greatest wine buys” by renowned British wine critic Jancis Robinson. “How is this possible?” I wondered. New Mexico didn’t fit the picture of what I considered wine country. These days, it hovers toward the middle on the list of America’s wine-producing states. But, at one time, it was number one, and thanks to industry frontrunners such as Gruet, New Mexico wine is blooming once again. “No one in the wine world thinks they’re missing out on anything from New Mexico because they’re not really paying attention,” says Chris Goblet, executive director of nonprofit New Mexico Wine, an organization dedicated to promotion and education. “New Mexico

New Mexico’s wine industry readies for a historic celebration

European investors eager to put down roots in a place where an acre of land went for pennies on the dollar compared to California’s had an ear out for news from New Mexico; its growing conditions were said to have much in common with the great old-world wine regions of Champagne, Chablis, Burgundy, Bordeaux and the southern Rhône valley: dry, with rocky, calcium-rich soil. Between 1982 and 1983, 2,200 acres of vineyards were planted around Las Cruces alone. As word of these investments spread, it turned the heads of two people who would change New Mexico’s wine industry: Hervé Lescombes and Gilbert Gruet. In 1981, Lescombes, a fifth-generation winemaker, left the successful Domaine de Perignon winery in Burgundy, France, to plant vines in New Mexico. Lescombes was quick to find success, bottling his first vintage in 1984. Perfecting his craft over the next 25 years, the winery grew and, in 2009, his 2007 Lescombes Cabernet Franc won the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition’s prestigious Red Sweepstake triple-gold award. The next

generation of Lescombes, Emmanuel and Florent, now manage Southwest Wines, a 500,000-gallon capacity winery in Deming, producing DH Lescombes, St. Clair and five additional labels. These wines are distributed in over 40 states, adorning the racks of retail giants such as Costco. Another Frenchman, Gruet, was hot on Lescombes’ heels. In 1984, Gruet, whose Champagne house Gruet et Fils

in Bethon, France, was founded in 1952, planted his first vineyard in New Mexico. As the vines flourished, two of his four children, Laurent and Nathalie, relocated to New Mexico, launching the family’s “French roots, American dreams” adventure. Gruet is now known nationwide as a dependable producer of fine sparkling wine, made in traditional Methode Champenoise fashion. As Gruet’s awards JOY GODFREY

became another story for the history books. What did recover was the unassailable spirit of determined farmers. “Four hundred years of struggle is the inside joke of New Mexico’s wine industry,” says Goblet. “But growing wine is a struggle no matter what; we’ve just experienced a longer struggle than most.” Undeterred by history, in the mid-1970s, small, family-owned wineries began producing commercially. These included La Viña Winery, on our side of the El Paso area and the oldest continually operating winery in New Mexico, and La Chiripada Winery in Dixon, which planted cold-hardy French-hybrid vines in 1977. In 1978, the industry received a boost when a government-sponsored study deemed New Mexico’s soil and climate favorable to these newly created hybrid grape varietals. The successes of these brave producers and news of New Mexico’s growing conditions traveled quickly. Crossing an ocean didn’t take long, and suddenly, New Mexico found itself again in the game of wine.

piled up, including a 2004 trophy at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in London for its 1997 Blanc de Blancs, the larger wine world took notice. In 2014, Gruet formed a sales and marketing partnership with Seattle-based wine distribution powerhouse Precept Wines, ensuring its continued growth. Back to the ’80s, it wasn’t just French vignerons taking note of New Mexico’s ripe terroir and climate. Soon, the “wild Southwest” was flooded with Old World experts from Germany to Italy looking for opportunity in the New World of wine. Far different from the tree-dotted, rolling hills of California’s low-altitude wine regions, New Mexico’s elevated landscapes are mostly bone-dry and, in places, seem to support little more than desert scrub and subterranean lairs of prairie dogs and tarantulas. But grape vines are hardy creatures, and many thrive in conditions disagreeable to other plants: a magic formula of elevation, soil and climate. New Mexico’s vineyards range from 400 to 6,700 feet in elevation. These altitudes force grapes to grow thicker skins, helping to concentrate flavor and protecting the fruit from sunburn, enzyme attack and fungal diseases. New Mexico’s rocky, sometimes sandy soils provide excellent drainage, safeguarding delicate root systems from rot. The dry climate also assists in deterring rot, as well as the pests that plague vineyards in more humid locales. A final ingredient in New Mexico’s magic grapevine formula is the state’s diurnal flux; hot days to cold nights, which affect growing regions from north to south. Such extreme fluctuations in temperatures promote sugar accumulation in fruit with daytime heat, while cool nights tame acidity. Grape vines also thrive with careful restriction on the amount of water they receive. The more water, the larger the berry; the larger the berry, the less intense the flavor. Over-watered grapes are considered flabby, so creative water restriction and yielding small, tight clusters of fruit is a bit of an art form in itself. This is the key to creating wines that reflect the nuances of the terroir and climate from which they are born. New Mexico’s unique history, geology and geography combine to nurse a stunning array of grape varietals. There are the usual favorites such as cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay and merlot, but also viognier, syrah, riesling, cabernet franc, petit verdot, malbec, gewurztraminer, tempranillo, Norton, mourvedre, feteasca and chambourcin (informally called “New Mexico pinot”).

COURTESY NOISY WATER WINERY

Thanks to Paolo D’Andrea of Luna Rossa Winery in Deming, one of the largest grape growers and wineries in the state, Italian varietals are also common. D’Andrea originally came from Italy to New Mexico in 1986 to manage the vineyards of those early European investors. Now, as the largest supplier of grapes in New Mexico, he offers everything from the better-known sangiovese to less common fruit such as dolcetto, nebbiolo, refosco and aglianico. Case in point, Luna Rossa currently has in production a sparkling ribolla gialla. Grown most prominently in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeast Italy, bordering Slovenia, the white grape sees very little production in the US. Most regions don’t have the climate to support it—but it, like many other grapes that don’t grow well in colder, wetter states, has flourished in New Mexico. Today, New Mexico has more than 45 wineries, and over 1,200 acres of vineyard, producing nearly 1.4 million cases of wine annually. The majority of these wineries are small-production, giving them the flexibility to work with the breadth of varietals at hand. Their deftness at doing so is attracting the attention of the broader industry, from wine critics to distributors, as is the creativity from which they approach growing business and community. At Ruidoso’s Noisy Water Winery, president and winemaker Jasper Riddle pays homage to the larger producers who set the stage for New Mexico’s wine bloom. “When I started 10 years ago, the New Mexico wine industry had a ton of potential, thanks to the ‘big boys’ that have been massive champions for our industry,” says Riddle. “But back then, people were not working together as much as they could have been, and that has changed— there’s a unity now, within the industry, to get New Mexico wines on the map versus fighting over whose wine is better, espe-

Noisy Water’s Jasper Riddle says the New Mexico wine industry is on an uptick.

cially over the past three to four years. There are a lot of bridges being built, and that’s super encouraging.” Riddle’s insight into issues such as pricing have helped him grow Noisy Water from 1,000 cases per year to 40,000. “We were afraid to ask for a price point reflecting the value of the wine,” he explains of the early days. That’s no longer the case. Noisy Water is also growing thanks to out-of-state wine competition awards and a high score, 92, for his 2016 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from respected industry critic James Suckling. The opening of various tasting rooms across New Mexico is another factor in Noisy Water’s success. With six locations in four cities, Riddle understands what

buyers in different areas prefer. Santa Fe, for example, has different needs than Cloudcroft or Ruidoso. “People come to the Ruidoso location to buy wine as there’s really no other place to do so, whereas in Santa Fe, people want to be able to sit, relax and enjoy it as sort of a hybrid wine bar,” Riddle tells SFR. “Now that we’ve identified that, and had a chance to adjust to that style, we’ve had really strong growth.” Riddle is also working to grow the industry as a whole, serving on the board of New Mexico Wine and taking on additional efforts, including working with the governor’s office to build programs for potential internships within New Mexico’s craft beverage industries. “New Mexico talent will hopefully

stay and help cultivate the craft industry as a whole—culinary, brewers, distillers, farmers. That’s the next step we are working together to push: training and keeping people here to elevate New Mexico’s food and beverage culture. There is tremendous momentum right now.” Riddle’s efforts earned him recognition as the US Small Business Administration’s 2018 New Mexico Small Business Person of the Year, and second runner-up for its national title. Momentum within New Mexico’s wine industry is also felt, and buoyed, by other boutique producers such as Jaramillo Vineyards in Belen. Started in 2003 as a hobby of wine-loving airline pilot Robert Jaramillo and his wife Barb, word of the quality of wine coming from their small vineyard quickly spread. With awards earned locally and in national competitions, including awards four years running at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the vineyard has grown from half an acre to 10 acres. “Robert grows 95% of our grapes,” Barb says, “giving him almost total control of the entire process.” In August 2018, the Jaramillos opened a tasting room in downtown Belen, spurring further growth. Located on the ground floor of a historic 1909 hotel that was purchased and refurbished by a family member, locals and club members have enjoyed having a place to sample locally made wines. “Our goal is to market the majority of our wine in New Mexico,” Barb continues. “People like to eat local and drink local. They like to know who they are buying product from, and are willing to pay a couple of extra dollars to do so.” The opening of the tasting room has also been a study in how small business aids in community revitalization. Realizing most businesses weren’t open on Sundays, Barb reached out to the mayor, city council and neighboring small businesses in Belen. Convincing them of the impor-

Jaramillos plan to release two wines, a white and a red, their bottles and labels designed by the artist. “It’s going to help the whole New Mexico wine industry because it’s so big and new and different,” says Barb. “I think it’s going to help Belen, too.” As these smaller producers continue to push forward and the big ones keep growing, there is one person in New Mexico with a long-term plan to make sure the state’s wines find their place in a crowded market. Goblet, at New Mexico Wine, assists members and the industry through education, legislation and marketing. Under the tagline “Viva Vino,” Goblet harnesses his previous experience as head of the New Mexico Brewers Guild to leverage the accessibility of and attention to New Mexico wine, especially

as he kicks off the countdown to the 400-year celebration. “I like the idea of dreaming big for what should be the big biggest celebration of wine in the Southwest,” says Goblet. To prepare, he’s working with the state to ensure legisla legislation that benefits the indus industry, which generates an estimated $100 million a year for the state’s economy and sup supports more than 7,000 jobs. These have inin cluded establishing a “reciprocity law,” allowing wineries to serve cider and beer (and vice versa); lob lobbying for the approval of private celebration permits, allowing wineries to host pri private events such as weddings; and bottle service which, begin beginning July 1, allows bottles purchased in a winery or tasting room to be re-corked and taken home. Despite such successes, all agree there are still hurdles to overcome before anthe big 400-year an niversary. One of the biggest is highway signage. “New Mexico is a Gobbig, rural state,” Gob let points out. “We depend on signage to get people to the front doors of wineries.” Barb Jaramillo agrees. “There are esmany places that could benefit from it, es pecially directional signage in small towns where GPS might not work as well,” she says. Until that time, she’s working to get her own billboard placed on I-25, hoping to attract some of the thousands of drivers passing through Belen each day. Another issue is the reluctance of restaurants to adopt New Mexico wines on their menus. “Our main focus now is to gain the attention and respect of New Mexico’s own tourism and culinary scene,” says Goblet. “The restaurant market and Santa Fe market are two of our biggest obstacles. If we can prove ourselves to them, we can prove ourselves to a national market. We have a ‘wow’ factor outside of our own tiny © JUDY CHICAGO/ARTISTS RIGHTS SOCIETY (ARS), NEW YORKPHOTO © DONALD WOODMAN/ARS, NEW YORK

tance of Sunday drivers, some attractions, such as Belen’s Harvey House Museum, are now open the entire weekend. Her persistence has paid off. “Since opening the tasting room, we’re going from 850 cases last year to 1,200 to 1,500 cases this year,” Barb tells SFR, adding: “And this is before the Judy Chicago thing.” The “Judy Chicago thing” stems from the recent controversy which erupted over a proposal to open a museum dedicated to the art of iconic feminist artist Chicago, who has called Belen home for the past 27 years. Conservative members of the community rejected the idea of what they called “pornographic” art being displayed in their small town. “What we realized,” Barb says, “is that we didn’t need permission to open anything, we just needed money. This museum could be an amazing thing for Belen, so we just went for it.” The Jaramillos helped to organize a community fundraiser, raising $35,000 for Chicago’s Through the Flower nonprofit, which will manage an art space dedicated to the work of Chicago, her husband, photographer Donald Woodman, and other New Mexico artists. Inspired, Barb approached Chicago with the idea of creating a Judy Chicago-branded wine, a portion of the proceeds of which would also support Through the Flower Art Space. Chicago agreed and, come July, the

universe; we just need to be able to get out there.” Noisy Water’s Riddle agrees, and points out that “New Mexico is doing a good job of embracing craft in our state by starting to put it on menus where, three to five years ago, it was a much harder fight. Product quality has a lot to do with that, and ours has improved exponentially in the past decade.” It’s a reciprocity thing, Goblet explains. “The more we can do to support the industry, the more our industry can do to support tourism, the culinary scene, and all of the other things that make visiting New Mexico such a beautiful experience,” he says. “What’s nice about being under the radar is our winemakers can take the time to get to know people. We can sit down and have a conversation here, there is still a human quality to the craft.” But, as down-home as it may be, Goblet and the winemakers of New Mexico are looking forward to using the upcoming anniversary as a vehicle to expand the industry beyond its current mom-andpop perception. Unencumbered by the affectations of better-known viticulture regions and with a historic celebration on the horizon, New Mexico wine is poised to once again come into its prime.

ART OPENING FRI/24

Wide-Open Spaces Dreams take the shape of a place out West Cody Brothers drives a lot. Not only does he love the American West, the landscape in which he was raised, but in 2016 he was awarded a $70,000 Imagine Your Parks grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to celebrate the centennial of the National Parks System—so he set out on the road to take film photographs of public lands. He references the wide-open Western landscapes being like the wide-open music he loves. When SFR asked what he listens to when he drives, he does not hesitate: “I’m a huge U2 fan. … They have that sound that reminds me of this part of the country.” There is indeed a sweeping, orchestral quality to Brothers’ photographs in The Forgotten Horizon, an exhibition sponsored by the National Parks Conservation Association. A fan of the NPS since childhood, Brothers says, when he went to parks as a child in the ‘70s, “about the only thing you would see in the visitor’s center were black and white pictures; Ansel Adams or Paul Strand or Edward Weston. I would look at those pictures and tell my grandpa, ‘I wanna go there.’ It was one of those things that attracted me to the parks—the photographs.”

He lived away from New Mexico as a teen and an adult on the East Coast and in Texas, but, he says, “every time I came home, I just felt that feeling of, ‘This is where I’m supposed to be.’” And when he saw that the NPS would celebrate its centennial in 2016, he knew he wanted to be a part of it. He was one of 51 people (out of approximately 2,000 contenders) awarded an NEA grant in honor of the occasion. We wonder if familiarity can breed contempt; we ask, even after growing up out West, what it is that still makes him want to photograph it. “I just—” he laughs, then continues a bit dreamily: “I love it so.” He goes on, “There’s so many things about being here that appeal to me; not only my creative eye, but my soul. I love music that’s real wide-open. I’m the same way with the big horizon, the big sky, the cloud formations, the rock formations—it’s just part of me.” (Charlotte Jusinski) CODY BROTHERS: THE FORGOTTEN HORIZON 5 pm Friday May 24.

Functional Family The Blackout Pictures’ oddball heavy sound fits its own internal logic BY LUKE HENLEY @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

hen The Blackout Pictures played their first show a little over six months ago, the band they were billed to support dropped off just a couple of days prior. Our hometown heroes decided to go through with it anyway, some of them having not played their instruments in years—and others, like vocalist Lindsay Payton, having never sung in a band before. A debut with no one else on the bill in Santa Fe at Zephyr Community Art Studio on a Monday night in December might have been a death sentence as far as attendance goes, and the group was prepared to play for themselves and have fun doing it. By showtime, however, the venue was, by all reports, packed to capacity. Metalheads, indie rockers, punks and everybody else mingled in a way that reflects the band itself; namely, a crew of eclectic would-be misfits, if they didn’t somehow seem to gel with any lineup. Drummer Jeff Jedlowski and guitarist Jared Weiss were the initiators of The Blackout Pictures, both having put down their respective instruments for some time to focus on visual arts. Brandon Smith joined on guitar and later, Theresa Anderson on bass. The band then asked illustrator Lindsay Payton if she had ever sung before, to which the answer was no.

“I just decided to go in and try it out,” says Payton, whose vocals and stage presence are one of the band’s main draws. Payton is emotive and engaging with a range of styles from gothic croons to black metal shrieks. The fact that members of the band are either, by their own description, untrained in their instruments or were out of practice is a bit shocking; they produce some of Santa Fe’s more complex music. Still, the members were of course curious as to how their music would be described in those first days. The laziest way to genreify is by using the oft-used signifier “post-hardcore,” but The Blackout Pictures’ sound has numerous lineages that go well beyond that. It’s chameleon-like, heavy rock with dark tones that can be both nimble and bludgeoning, often thanks to Weiss and Smith’s techy dual guitar assault. Similar to other Santa Fe acts such as Future Scars or Bodies, The Blackout Pictures appear on unexpected shows. Just recently they performed at Lost Padre Records’ indie rock-leaning oneyear anniversary show, and this week they’ll share the stage with death metal act Heretical Sect. It’s that versatility that makes them hard to pin down, but well worth exploring. In a town like ours, we have many bands that each do very specific things. This leads to eclectic shows that might lack cohesion, but that make up for it with unexpected blends of crowds and acts. But how do five people agree on one sound, or is that partly why they can go

in so many directions within one song? “While we’re writing we do fight each other a bit,” says Weiss—and the band does not argue on that point. “We really just try to break the norm, like, let’s just play whatever we want to play and see however we can get it from start to finish in a song. Like a rollercoaster, but one coherent piece.” Weiss often brings the initial ideas and riffs to the table, but from there the band acts as a democracy with each member responsible for their own piece of the puzzle. Plenty of bands function this way, but more often than not, one benevolent dictator acts as the final word on disputes. This is not the case in The Blackout Pictures, and while it seems like such a songwriting practice could be a nightmare if the chemistry were even slightly off, each member seems to have it dialed in. “I feel like it’s getting easier for me,” Anderson, the bassist, tells SFR. “I have an idea of what I want to sound like.” Weiss chimes in, “It’s gotten more

simplified, more direct.” Jedlowski describes the band’s growth as reflective of their growing personal relationships, saying that “a lot of it is just us learning ourselves and each other, and we’re kind of bending each other’s way of learning.” The band is prepared to go into Augustine Ortiz’ studio The Decibel Foundry to record their debut full-length this June, and has no plans to turn down any show offers simply based on other bands’ genres or sounds. “No shows turned down,” says Weiss with a laugh. “Bluegrass venues—call us up.” They could probably pull it off.

Gold: from the Big Bang to the Amazon forest

Terry Wallace

Los Alamos National Director Emeritus

Minerals are the planet’s DNA, containing the fragments of the Earth’s complex history from its formation nearly 4.6 billion years ago to the rise of life. Gold is one of the most fascinating of the 4,500 mineral species on Earth, and no mineral (or metal) evokes more emotion. But it also has an incredible scientific story: a gold nugget is made of material that was not born in our planet or even our solar system. Join Laboratory director emeritus Terry Wallace as he explores the beauty of the cosmic and tectonic journey that gold has taken, and the spell it has cast over humankind. Albuquerque

Art and Vintages Santa Fe Art Tours pairs wine and digital art

f reading this week’s cover story has you all abuzz and hopeful to get on the wine train, we’ve got great news for you: Santa Fe Art Tours, the company of Santa Fe’s Elaine Ritchel (which does exactly what you’d think it would), has a special one-off event this week that not only revels in digital arts and the spaces that show it, but that pairs wines with visual aesthetics. “It’s really something I’ve been thinking about,” Ritchel says of Digital Art + Wine Pairing, the aptly named new tour. “I don’t know where the spark came from, but I’m always thinking of ways to include culinary stops on tours in a way that makes sense [within] the tour itself, where there’s a tie-in with the art work.” SFR first spoke with Ritchel in 2016, when Santa Fe Art Tours was but a fledgling walking group. Since then, Ritchel, a graduate of the University of New Mexico, has grown her business, partnering with more galleries and developing more immersive tours. The connection to art she just mentioned? As it pertains to wine, it clicks most strongly with Art House (231 Delgado St., 995-0231), the public space spearheaded by the Carl and Marilynn Thoma Foundation. The Thomas are also owners of Van Duzer Vineyards, a winery in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, the product of which participants have a chance to sample; Art House is the second stop of the tour whereupon visitors can view Digital Artifacts, a show SFR loved last November. Before that, however, Ritchel begins the tour at the sprawling Gerald Peters Projects (1011 Paseo de Peralta, 954-5800) and the Joel Hobbie

show Interstitial. Hobbie’s sculptures look like robotic parts smack-dab in the middle of a strange evolution. Mechanical pieces meet wildly flowing wires and are almost industrial in nature. Hobbie’s works feel familiar, though none looks quite like something we already know. This makes for a sense of unease, though that feeling abates to some degree upon noticing an almost biological element; like floating jellyfish adrift in no particular direction.

Then comes Art House and Digital Artifacts, where the works of Michal Rovner, Casey Reas and Josh Tonsfeldt, among others, belie the assumption that there’s a cold, uncaring element to digital objects. Instead, pieces are emotionally charged and thoughtfully explore our world on both micro and macro scales. “On my tours, I always try to incorporate an activity that gets people looking deeply and trying to articulate their responses to the work on view,” Ritchel says. “I really want them to think about their responses—things like how colors make us feel a certain way or can communicate a message. I don’t think that’s too

far off from the experiences we can have with food and drink.” Ritchel hasn’t selected the specific wine pairings just yet, and says Art House director Kathleen Richards will probably lend a hand. After all, Ritchel says, she’s not a sommelier so much as an arts expert, though it’s still important to her to enhance the tour’s experience. Previously, she’s included stops like Kakawa Chocolate House at the tail end of tours. Art House and the Van Duzer wines come at the midway point of Digital Art + Wine Pairing, however, which might affect how participants both consume and discuss the art work. “Some things might feel a little more happy or bubbly,” Ritchel tells SFR, mostly joking. “Some things might feel a little more dark and robust.” The last stop of the tour is Currents 826 (826 Canyon Road, 820-7338), the brick-and-mortar gallery kicked off by the wildly popular annual Currents New Media Festival. Newly open, the space expectedly embraces the digital. Though rather than delve too deep into AR, VR or video as the organization often does at its El Museo Cultural-based event each summer, there is much physical work on the walls created through digital means. Think 3-D printing or tweaked art-making algorithms that spit out strange cityscapes. Currents’ digital media manager LE Brown helped Ritchel come up with the tour as a way to showcase Canyon Road’s less-traditional side. “It’s designed to highlight that there is digital art on and around Canyon Road,” Ritchel says. “And we’ll get a look at the new Currents exhibit about an hour before it opens to the public.” Digital art, wines, exclusive early access to one of our city’s most vital spaces.

Trans and nonbinary people are at a much greater risk for violence than cis folks, and much of the issue starts at misinformation and miseducation. But, thankfully, when it comes to the continuing discussion on gender equality in schools and at large, sj Miller literally wrote the book. The writer, educator and activist’s about Gender Identity Justice in Schools and Communities seeks to teach and enlighten while expanding what we perceive and how we might go about helping to affect change. Miller, who recently conducted a TEDMED talk on this very topic, appears in conversation with local performer Quinn Fontaine at the Jean Cocteau Cinema (6:30 pm Sunday May 26. $10-$29. 418 Montezuma Ave.,466-5528) this week. Expect a reading from the book as well. (Alex De Vore) Why do you think it’s so hard for some people to come to terms with these particular issues? A lot of this has to do with deep-seated beliefs around the gender binary. What happens is that when someone threatens the binary, it threatens that person’s sense of entitlement; the sense of male and female is in that binary. The stereotypes, the beliefs—when someone comes in and troubles that, it threatens that space of comfort that somebody has. I always use this term: My role is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. [People] have to look deeply into their own prejudices and beliefs. What are some things everyday people can do to show more compassion to trans and/or non-binary people? Be an ally. An ally is a privilege. It means walking the talk and living it, and not getting recognized for it. It means you stand up for anybody you’re around. It means that when a law changes or something is possibly going to be taken away, a certain right or privilege, it means to do something. Whether that’s to reach out to a policy maker, a teacher—do something. Not to do something condones a rationale that continues to perpetuate these kinds of atrocious policies and shifts that are coming down. To speak out is what I’m saying. Are you hopeful? Is there hope for the future? There’s a saying that it takes 40 years for the seeds of a revolution to make changes, and this revolution is gaining a critical mass. The more we stop policing gender identity norms, the more opportunity and expansion we’ll have around change. Just having little conversations. ... The point is that the more people engage with these discourse patterns, the faster it’s going to move. We’re all part of a gender identity revolution. We’re in it, and we’d say the revolution started in the mid-to-late ‘90s, so we’re looking at 2030-ish to where we see the change, the really sustained impact.

Strange Brews

Ancient probiotics find new life in Santa Fe

Honeymoon Brewery was billed as “buzzworthy” by Sunset Magazine.

BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

robiotics. These good-foryour-gut bacteria have been in the news a lot lately as scientists search for the answer to a healthy human biome. The good news in Santa Fe is, thanks to two breweries, you can now have your probiotics for happy hour. Leaf & Hive is all about jun, or what it calls “Honeybrew,” an obscure and distant cousin of kombucha. Basically, it’s an effervescent fermented drink made of honey and green tea, whereas kombucha is made of black tea and cane sugar. Jun is purported to be a health tonic, ripe in probiotic content, that also serves up a higher buzz. As Leaf & Hive’s website puts it, “When you put something into your

body, you’re making a decision to take on the energetic attributes of whatever you’re consuming. We believe that a little intention goes a long way in shifting the vibe of food and drink. So, we infuse ‘Love, Compassion, Gratitude and Forgiveness’ and the finest organic, sustainably sourced herbs and botanicals into Honeybrew.” I had to find out what these people were smoking. Or, perhaps, drinking. Leaf & Hive Brew Lab (1208 Mercantile Road, Ste. A, 699-3055) sits within a very non-zen industrial park surrounded by a maze of sign companies and auto shops. Counter to the compassionate hive-speak of the website, no one seemed interested in sharing the magic of jun with us. Despite there being only one other customer, we had to get up from our table to order at the

bar. When asked how everything worked (I assumed perhaps there was a tasting flight) the guy at the bar pointed behind him and said, “That’s the menu.” Uh, OK. The menu, projected onto a wall, featured three Honeybrews—original, flower and ginger—as well as 14 local beers. Two of us ordered a drink each. The third in our party, who arrived a few minutes after we ordered, was never acknowledged at all, so she didn’t order anything. She’s a stickler for service. She didn’t miss much. The ginger honeybrew ($7), billed as “a spicy and herbaceous effervescent experience,” tasted like a lightly carbonated sweet tea with ginger. The flower honeybrew ($7), a “sweetly floral effervescent experience” was, indeed, sweet. My drinking buddy proclaimed it “smells like the lotion I have at home.” More prominent than with the ginger was the slightly mothball-y, for lack of a better word, taste more common to mead. We may have tried the original, but just weren’t getting the feels and wanted to move on. An added kicker, when my receipt later came through email, the amount of tip had somehow gone from 20% to 35%. I had to get in touch with Leaf & Hive to correct that, and they did refund the entire tip, but … talk about crushing the vibe. The energy at Honeymoon Brewing had a much different buzz. It was packed with people, dogs and kids. As we found seats in the gleaming white space, we were welcomed by Julie, aka “Buchamama,” the mother of co-founder and CEO Ayla Bystrom-Williams. Holding a smiling baby, she cheerfully talked up the business, pointing out that Honeymoon’s Camellia Flor had just been named one of the country’s most “buzzworthy brews” by Sunset Magazine. Buzzworthy, for sure. Honeymoon Brewery (Solana Center, 907 W Alameda St., 303-3139), the first producer of artisanal alcoholic

FOOD

kombucha in the Southwest, approaches its craft with a strong business acumen which has impressed some pretty heavy hitters. In 2018, Honeymoon was awarded seed capital by Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Venture Acceleration Fund (which invests in early-stage companies to create jobs in Northern New Mexico) and in 2016, won $200,000 in Miller Lite’s Tap the Future Business Plan Competition. There is little flowery marketing-speak around Honeymoon’s product, just straightforward explanation of the product: “A sessionable gluten-free beverage that’s tart, delicious and full of kombucha’s probiotic goodness,” says the website. “We want to offer something special to all of the underserved markets: gluten-sensitive drinkers, lowABV drinkers, kombucha fans, sour beer aficionados, and anyone just looking for a refreshing twist on their night out.” Honeymoon usually boasts six kombucha brews on tap, but there were only three when we visited, as well as a kombucha “cocktail,” a selection of locally-made beers and wines by Albuquerque’s Sheehan Winery. An interesting twist on getting buzzed, a shot of CBD can be added to any drink for $4. Cans and growlers are also available to go. I ordered a tasting flight ($12) of Camellia Blanco, Camellia Flor and Cereza Negra. I am a fan of kombucha because it tends to be tart, allowing the flavors to shine through verses being overrun by sweetness. The Blanco, made with black and green teas, jasmine flowers and fresh ginger, was crisp and refreshing. The Flor, brewed with hibiscus, was ideally sour and a lovely ruby color. The Cereza Negra highlighted the rich, tart fruit without a hint of the sugar usually associated with black cherry. Overall, it was really well-brewed kombucha, the alcohol almost impossible to discern. I’ll be back to Honeymoon Brewing; this hive had just the right vibe.

John Wick: Chapter 3 —Parabellum Review

RATINGS BEST MOVIE EVER

Wick! Wick! Wick! Wick!

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

+ WHAT A

When last we left our dog-loving titular hero (Keanu Reeves), he’d run afoul of the High Table—a clandestine organization with assassins and operatives pretty much everywhere around the globe. He was given an hour, however, to get his shit together by the manager of the New York Continental Hotel (which is, like, secretly an assassin safe haven, y’know?), and we join him at the tail end of this 60 minutes. Of course, this hour sets into motion a whole string of unfortunate circumstances for said manager (Ian McShane), the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), The Director (Anjelica Huston) and whatever other High Table allies might have helped John Wick, even a little bit. Turns out the High Table’s top brass are sticklers for rules, and now John Wick has a massive bounty on his head, which dredges up every assassin in the whole wide world. Our bud’s gonna die unless he can make and execute some serious life decisions; namely, how he’s going to shoot everyone in the face. It’s sooooooo stupid. But it’s sooooooo crazy fun. See, John Wick succeeds because it knows exactly what it is—an excuse for absurdist violence doled out amidst New York City’s teeming back-

drop, Casablanca’s bustling back alleys and the weird retro-futurist environs of the Continental’s bowels. Never does the film take itself seriously enough as to err into the heavy-handed, never does it try to be more than what it is; instead, John Wick revels in its own blood-soaked ballet and subterfuge hidden in plain sight. Sure, Keanu is there, but he has about six lines, four of which are “Yeah.” In other words, who even knows what the stakes are? In fact, we don’t even really remember how the movie began, we just know people started getting stabbed. Which reminds me—John Wick makes violence hella fun. Believe me, I know, that is a tough sell for many. But someplace between the brilliantly shot martial arts, the popping color schemes of the various acts and the acrobatic gunplay and/or fights, you’ve just got to let go and realize that escapism doesn’t come much better than this, that it’s goofy. And that that’s OK. Don’t take your kids, though. Onetime stuntman Chad Stahelski returns

for directing duties, upping the ante over the previous films in pretty much all respects. That’s kind of hard to believe possible, but is amazingly true. Halle Berry as the mysterious Sofia is a particularly welcome addition, especially since she also likes dogs and hers didn’t show up to the party to mess around so much as they did to rip throats. Chaos ensues, stunning fight choreography explodes everywhere—a fucking horse kicks a guy in his face so hard that his head practically bursts! … Look, high art this ain’t, but one doesn’t look to John Wick for the next evolution in cinematic artistry, one looks to John Wick so they can have their mind blown by whatever insane stunt or bizarre death comes next, tap their movie-going companion and whisper, “Holy shit!” JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3—PARABELLUM Directed by Stahelski With Reeves, Berry, McShane, Fishburne and Huston Regal (both locations), Violet Crown, R, 130 min.

SHADOW

CLIFFS OF FREEDOM

+ QUITE PRETTY; ANNA CHRISTINA - BILLY FREAKING ZANE; OVERALL, FEELS AMATEUR-ISH

Dateline: 1400 … something. The Ottoman Empire is on the rise, and it’s the Greeks who pay the price with their blood. Many would prefer to just plain die rather than cow to the Sultan’s whims, and so many do. But not young Anna Christina (Tania Raymonde), who is allowed to live by Tariq (Jan Uddin, Day of the Falcon), a leader in the Sultan’s bloodthirsty army with a fun little kindness streak he whips out from time to time when it suits the narrative of the movie. Their lives change forever. Twelve years go by, and Anna Christina’s little village rebuilds as it can. Sadly, though, the Turks become omnipresent—but this births a secret order of rebels who do stuff from the shadows. Anna Christina hits her 20s, and along with what’s left of her family, she ekes out a simple agrarian lifestyle under the thumb of Sunal Demir (Raza Jaffrey of Homeland), leader of the janissaries (like the Turkish army’s cops, basically), that same nice dude Tariq from before and Billy freaking Zane, who plays a Greek who goes the traitor route out of

some weird sense of self-preservation (read: cowardice). Everything would’ve been fine—I mean, mostly—except Sunal Demir likes killing Greek people all willy-nilly, which he does, and Anna Christina goes full-on rebel in an attempt to get revenge. Also, she might have a thing for Tariq. Also, Christopher Plummer is in this movie but wildly underused; also Kevin Corrigan (Grounded for Life), one of the most underappreciated actors of our time, is in there; also Patty Lupone. OK? OK. Anyway … Cliffs of Freedom gets big-time points for some gorgeous moments of cinematography. With New Mexico standing in for the rolling, arid hillsides of Greece’s farmlands, it’s hard not to love those skies. It’s clear this wasn’t a huge-budget affair but, despite some very strange ADR choices that makes one wonder if any dialogue was filmed during principal photography whatsoever, director/writer Van Ling (previously primarily a visual effects guy from movies like Starship Troopers and T2) does a lot with what he’s got. There’s romance in them thar hills, and we’ll hand it to Uddin for portraying a quiet vulnerability that almost distracts us from how improbable it is that an army guy who never CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

seems to fight anyone could rise to an officer’s position. Regardless, if you can make it past the snail’s pace of the first act, there’s plenty to enjoy in subsequent sections. As a first foray into direction and screenwriting, Ling proves capable, and performances are serviceable throughout. It does, however, seem like none of the leads are particularly thrilled to be there. Like, you can almost feel them not trying very hard— particularly Billy Zane who, I guess, is now just going to play spineless chumps forever and ever. But, when taken as a bit of historical fiction interwoven with light elements of action and adventure, Cliffs of Freedom is actually a fun little romp. Plus, Anna Christina is seriously badass.

TOLKIEN

+ TCBS; LUSH COLOR PALETTE - FAILS TO BE COMPELLING; LACK OF INTIMACY WHERE IT COUNTS

World War I was known at the time as the war to end all wars—and looking at Europe’s casualty rate, it’s hard to argue. For John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the war added yet another chapter to his already tumultuous life. Already orphaned, Tolkien was told by a Catholic ward he couldn’t wed his great love, a Protestant, and the list goes on. Such obstacles are at the forefront of the new biopic, Tolkien, and serve as the driving force for the Lord of the Rings author’s genius. Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road) leads as Professor Tolkien or, as he was more affectionately known, John Ronald. Hoult does brighten up in parts, though most of his performance feels wooden and vacant. Lily Collins (Okja) as Tolkien’s love Edith, however, is the complete opposite, and the film’s greatest sin is leaving her character with little to do. Elsewhere, the Tea Club and Barrovian Society, or TCBS, John Ronald’s quartet of boyhood scholars, gleefully contribute to some of the best scenes of the film with a Stand By Me vibe, while I, Claudius alum Derek Jacobi is is quite welcome as Tolkien’s mentor, Professor Joseph Wright. Although the historicity of the material is topnotch, emotional connection winds up sacrificed at the feet of accuracy. It’s almost as if writers Derek Gleeson and Stephen Beresford had composed a checklist with snippets of dialogue locked in for the script with no intent to budge. Director Dome Karukoski (Tom of Finland) knows how to visually harness the beauty in the mundane, but ultimately leaves the viewer desiring more intimacy between characters. The achievement of Tolkien is, without a doubt, its good looks. Every sequence is photo-

graphed with brilliance; bright light accompanies Edith at a piano or dancing and blue-gray hues saturate soldiers, oranges and yellows assault on the horizon in battle. These palettes are inserted alongside hallucinatory effects such as fire-breathing dragons and black knights materializing during the Battle of the Somme. Unfortunately, these are the only visual examples of Tolkien creating, and we all would have benefitted from deeper or better examples of his imagination at work. Any fan of Tolkien’s life and works will surely be entertained, but it’s hard to say if the average movie-goer would be equally charmed. As the father of modern fantasy literature and its wildly popular branching paths, the celebrated author, linguist and intellectual deserves more than a single film to discuss the complexities of his work. In the meantime, we have one more average biopic to add to the ever-growing subgenre. (Matthew K Gutierrez)

Jean Cocteau Cinema, PG-13, 112 min.

SHADOW

+ BEAUTIFUL; THOSE STUNTS - NEEDLESS CONVERSATIONS; SOME SILLY PERFORMANCES

Hero and House of Flying Daggers filmmaker Yimou Zhang returns to the big screen with Shadow, a film that gets so much right even as it insists on lagging from time to time. This is, in a

nutshell, the Zhang conundrum: Do beautifully made kung fu movies that take full advantage of jaw-dropping cinematography and deathdefying stunts get a pass on everything else? In the “pro” column, Shadow paints a pretty picture of fairy-tale intrigue. A war has raged between territories since time immemorial, and the commander of one such territory’s army (Chao Deng) hatches a plan along with his clever wife (Li Sun) and a dedicated doppelgänger (also Deng). By out-thinking his opponents, allies and king (Ryan Zhen) at every step, his master plan begins to unfold. Too bad everyone around there is a kung fu genius. Conflict, naturally, arises, and that simple plan of getting a dude who looks just like him to do all kinds of crazy things starts to seem convoluted. Of course, we’re not really here for a flawless plot or fantastic examples of thespian skill— we’re here for the kung fu. And it is epic (which we say honestly hating what the internet has done to that word). Here, fans of the genre will find every bit as much to like as in Zhang’s other works, but with better tech steering the car and allowing for more complex results. In these fight scenes—replete with bizarre weaponry and stunning, rainswept backgrounds—Shadow succeeds time and time again, but it’s often back to the politics of the court, some painfully misdirected stabs at comic levity and long expositional conversations that feel stilted at best. In Zhang’s overall body of work, Shadow holds its own, but it’s certainly not going to

Tolkien: One does not simply define all fantasy literature without a rich backstory.

wind up a cultural phenomenon as his other works have. Ang Lee’s brilliant Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sort of stacked the kung fu deck forever, anyway, and though Shadow can be good fun, it can also take too long getting there. (ADV)

THE CHAPERONE

+ LEADING LADIES; VIBRANT - LAZY POST-PRODUCTION; TV MOVIE ATTITUDE

Television director Michael Engler helms The Chaperone, a coming-of-age story about two very different women traveling together to New York City from Kansas. Mostly set in 1922, Prohibition, suppressive gender dynamics and xenophobia all rear their ugly heads, revealing an olderlooking but relevant America; If you thought our past were full of smiles and ragtime, this shows otherwise. Haley Lu Richardson (Split) plays a teenage version of screen star Louise Brooks, New York-bound for dancing reasons. Richardson’s youthful exuberance and natural talent makes her fascinating to watch and she steals entire scenes. Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey) as Norma Carlisle, meanwhile, is Louise’s chaperone, and a counter to her personality. McGovern finds her character’s greatest power either via cooly expressing her values to the ignorant, or in discovering her New York past. The supporting cast are pleasant enough with eyes on Lord of the Rings star Miranda Otto as Louise’s dance instructor, and Singles lead Campbell Scott as Norma’s secretive husband in particular. Unfortunately, accomplished thespian Blythe Danner couldn’t be bothered to do anything other than arrive and collect her check. Julian Fellowes, also of Downton Abbey, pens a screenplay average in narrative structure, but clever in the quiet conversations, and the film’s biggest blunders are in allowing well-written dialogue to be ruined by a lack of direction. One wishes Engler were more active in helping his actors make choices in both body language and pitch. Despite that, the production design is quite convincing. Nothing looks fake, but rather aged, as if preserved in time for this exact production. Camera work and lighting are fluid as well; bright, yet accommodating to the environment. Other elements are wonkier, such as choppy editing that robs lead actors of emotional moments landing with gravitas or poor vocal dubbing that makes one wonder when the Shaolin monks might fly into the air, swords in hand.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

+ BREAKNECK FUN AND INCREDIBLE SPECIAL EFFECTS; SO SATISFYING

- MANIPULATIVE WITH THE FEELS

It’s been a little over 10 years since the first Iron Man film taught us that comic book flicks could be well-made, quite fun and well worth it, and the saga it spawned—which of course rolls up about a zillion other titles from Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel to Dr. Strange and Spider-Man: Homecoming—comes to a close in the latest and final (we think) Avengers movie, Endgame. We rejoin Iron Man, Thor, War Machine, Black Widow, Rocket Raccoon, Ant Man and a whole cadre of other heroes in the aftermath of super villain Thanos’ finger-snapping annihilation of 50% of the universe’s living creatures. This meant a whole mess of our favorites—like Spider-Man, dammit—had faded to death and to dust. Cue tears. But despite the despotic madman from across the stars’ best hopes for some sort of universal balance restoration, pretty much no one in the galaxy is grateful. Hence, the surviving Earthlings and non-Earthlings alike keep the teamwork going and hatch a plan to try and bring everyone back. Cue more tears. It’s true what you’ve heard about Endgame‘s long runtime (just pee before), but the magic in directors Joe and Anthony Russo’s latest entry is in how it never ever stops rocking even for an instant. If anything, it feels a little shorter than it could have been. Perhaps it’s in how everything from every extended franchise has been leading to this showdown since day one, or maybe it’s in the clever ways the Russo brothers manage to present a greatest hits feel without exhausting the audience. Even the slower moments feel necessary, even the clearly emotionally manipulative swelling of the music as fight scenes go down or friends come together feel warranted. For this and so many other reasons, Endgame is wildly satisfying, even when it doesn’t pan out in the ways we might like. Cue even more tears— which is odd, really, because these are comic book characters with fantastic powers who are wrapped up in utterly absurd scenarios time and time again.

But they’ve been with us most of our lives, in comic form and on television, in movie theaters and video games. Scoff if you will, non-fans, but for those who surrender to the siren call of Marvel Comics and Studios, it feels like we’re rooting for our friends through every painful twist and heart-soaring victory. Toss in that tech that makes old folks look young and young folks look old, some honest-toGod tearjerker moments and the return of Brie Larson’s ultra-fun Carol Danvers, and we’ve really got something going. Think of it like a love letter to the fans—a bombastic, over-the-top love letter rife with the smoothest CGI, a darker tone and a couple cameos from the Community cast (from whence the Russo brothers came) all working together in glorious synergy for what is easily one of the best action movies of our time. Go for the face-punching, stay for the hugs; engage in the culture every once in awhile. (ADV)

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of May 22nd

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, I suspect you will have the wisdom to criticize yourself in constructive ways that will at least partially solve a long-standing problem. Hallelujah! I bet you will also understand what to do to eliminate a bad habit by installing a good new habit. Please capitalize on that special knowledge! There’s one further capacity I suspect you’ll have: the saucy ingenuity necessary to alleviate a festering fear. Be audacious!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll regularly give yourself to generous, expansive experiences. I hope you’ll think big, funny thoughts and feel spacious, experimental emotions. I hope you’ll get luxurious glimpses of the promise your future holds, and I hope you’ll visualize yourself embarking on adventures and projects you’ve been too timid or worried to consider before now. For best results, be eager to utter the word “MORE!” as you meditate on the French phrase “joie de vivre” and the English phrase “a delight in being alive.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):What standards might we use in evaluating levels of sexual satisfaction? One cruclal measure is the tenderness and respect that partners have for each other. Others include the ability to play and have fun, the freedom to express oneself uninhibitedly, the creative attention devoted to unpredictable foreplay, and the ability to experience fulfilling orgasms. How do you rate your own levels, Taurus? Wherever you may currently fall on the scale, the coming months will be a time when you can accomplish an upgrade. How? Read authors who specialize in the erotic arts. Talk to your partners with increased boldness and clarity. While meditating, search for clues in the depths.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to Popular Mechanics magazine, over three million sunken ships are lying on the bottoms of the world’s oceans. Some of them contain billions of dollars’ worth of precious metals and jewels. Others are crammed with artifacts that would be of great value to historians and archaeologists. And here’s a crazy fact: fewer than one percent of all those potential treasures have been investigated by divers. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I hope it might inspire you to explore your inner world’s equivalent of lost or unknown riches. The GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If there were a Hall of Fame astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will for writers, Shakespeare might have been voted in first. be an excellent time to go searching for them. His work is regarded as a pinnacle of intellectual brilSAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some days you need liance. And yet here’s a fun fact: The Bard quoted well god’s grace,” writes poet Scherezade Siobhan. “On over a thousand passages from the Bible. Can you other days: the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a imagine a modern author being taken seriously by the mouth kissed by fire.” I’m guessing, Sagittarius, that literati if he or she frequently invoked such a fundathese days you might be inclined to prefer the feral mental religious text?

Fortunately, I suspect you know how to call on and make full use of that grace. piness over uncertainty,” writes Cancerian author and entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss. He doesn’t do that him- CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet self, but rather is quite eager to harvest the perks of William Stafford articulated some advice that I think dwelling in uncertainty. I presume this aptitude has you need to hear right now. Please hold it close to played a role in his huge success; his books have your awareness for the next 21 days. “Saying things appeared on bestseller lists and his podcasts have been you do not have to say weakens your talk,” he wrote. downloaded more than 300 million times. In telling you “Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your this, I’m not encouraging you to embrace the fertile hearing.” By practicing those protective measures, power of uncertainty 24 hours a day and 365 days of Capricorn, you will foster and safeguard your mental every year. But I am urging you to do just that for the health. Now here’s another gift from Stafford: next three weeks. There’ll be big payoffs if you do, “Things you know before you hear them—those are including rich teachings on the art of happiness. you, those are why you are in the world.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many eighteenth-century pirates were committed to democracy and equality among their ranks. The camaraderie and fairness and mutual respect that prevailed on pirate ships were markedly different from the oppressive conditions faced by sailors who worked for the navies of sovereign nations. The latter were often pressed into service against their will and had to struggle to collect meager salaries. Tyrannical captains controlled all phases of their lives. I bring this to your attention, Leo, with the hope that it will inspire you to seek out alternative approaches to rigid and hierarchical systems. Gravitate toward generous organizations that offer you ample freedom and rich alliances. The time is right to ally yourself with emancipatory influences.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Love is an immoderate thing / And can never be content,” declared poet W. B. Yeats. To provide you with an accurate horoscope, I’ll have to argue with that idea a bit. From what I can determine, love will indeed be immoderate in your vicinity during the coming weeks. On the other hand, it’s likely to bring you a high degree of contentment— as long as you’re willing to play along with its immoderateness. Here’s another fun prediction: I suspect that love’s immoderateness, even as it brings you satisfaction, will also inspire you to ask for more from love and expand your capacity for love. And that could lead to even further immoderate and interesting experiments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will know you are in sweet alignment with cosmic forces if you have an VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t wait around for fate impulse to try a rash adventure, but decide instead to to decide which decisions you should make and what work on fixing a misunderstanding with an ally. You can directions you should go. Formulate those decisions be sure you’re acting in accordance with your true intuyourself, with your willpower fully engaged.

Do job. You will be in tune with your soul’s code if you start you understand how important this is? You shouldn’t fantasizing about quitting what you’ve been working on allow anyone else to frame your important questions so hard, but instead sit down and give yourself a pep and define the nature of your problems; you’ve got to do talk to reinvigorate your devotion and commitment. the framing and defining yourself. One more thing: don’t fantasize about the arrival of the “perfect moment.” The Homework: Make up a secret identity for yourself. What perfect moment is whenever you decree it is. is it?
