NEWS, OCT. 11: “DESIGNER DOCS”

A BERNIE A DAY Rather than “Designer Docs,” “Traditional Medical Care” would have been a more appropriate title for your article.

As physicians, we feel strongly that each of our patients deserves compassionate, thorough and thoughtful care, which requires that we spend appropriate time with each individual. Under our current system, largely run by corporations, physicians are frequently under pressure to see a large number of patients, thereby limiting the amount of time the physician can spend with each individual patient. An increasing number of physicians nationwide, including the Santa Fe physicians listed in your article, are choosing to opt out of the current corporate system, in order to provide medical care in the manner that they believe it should be done. My belief is that we need many more such physicians, and that we have a moral obligation to make quality health care available to everyone, without regard to income. I therefore support a single-payer, federally funded “Medicare for All” program, such as that proposed by Senators Sanders and Warren.

Seismic Shift at Warehouse 21 Teen arts center to rebrand as Studio Center of Santa Fe under a new director

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

T

he rumors about changes at nonprofit teen arts center Warehouse 21 have been swirling through town in recent days: that they’d soon close, that youth artists had been banned from the building, that the board would seek a permanent liquor license or that founder Ana Gallegos y Reinhardt had been forced out as executive director.

“Not true,” W21 board treasurer Kim Langbecker tells SFR by phone. “Ana has been looking forward to taking off a very heavy set of keys for a long time.”

The board announced via press release Tuesday that Gallegos y Reinhardt “is moving on” and the organization plans to update operations and programming in the new year as the rebranded Studio Center of Santa Fe, though the details are scarce.

“We are now and will always be dedicated and focused on the teens and youth of Santa Fe. Period. End of story,” Langbecker continues. “It’s partly because we feel very strongly and passionately about that, but partly because it’s a mandate from the city.”

The city owns the Warehouse 21 building, and its annual rent exceeds $240,000— which, according to the city, is covered because the organization provides “services valued in excess of that amount.” It’s the same deal afforded some other local nonprofits such as Kitchen Angels and the Boys & Girls Club.

According to the Langbecker, the rebranding means strategic partnerships with other institutions such as nonprofit arts-based human rights org Fragile Peace, youth donation platform 100 Kids Who Care and the Santa Fe Community College. The exact nature of the partnerships is not clear at this time, but Langbecker says announcements will be made once talks are completed.

For Warehouse 21 employee and local musician Isaac Scarlott, however, the change is daunting. “I’m frustrated because what it feels like to me is that I’ve been coming here almost every single day, being a hardworking young artist, and trying to use the space to build opportunities, and I feel like I have no idea what’s going to happen,” says Scarlott, 22.

“It feels like you have no say in the direction if you’re not on the board, and I’m worried for the future of a space that has impacted my life so much. … The people who started walking through the doors stopped being youthful creatives and started being older, well-dressed people.”

Gallegos y Reinhardt believes this is about the inherrent difficulties of change.

“I was never forced out; I have been trying to step down for a couple years,” she says, “and as Warehouse 21 turned 21 this summer, in my mind I thought, ‘Warehouse grew up, and I need help.’”

Pointing to new Railyard developments, Gallegos y Reinhardt posits that “Things need to change, and the new programs coming into Warehouse will be more adaptable for kids and what they’ll need in school and career paths.”

Warehouse 21 was founded in 1989 as the CCA Teen Arts Center, a part of the Center for Contemporary Arts. In 1997, however, it spun off into its own entity with Gallegos y Reinhardt at the helm. By 2007, its original location—a run-down old warehouse on Paseo de Peralta—was demolished to make way for the revitalization of the Railyard, and its current building was completed in June of 2008 as part of a $3.4 million capital campaign.

“It was never about me—we did it together; we created this serious youth culture in Santa Fe for 21 years, and that’s an era I won’t forget, but now it needs to change for the next 21 years. When I think about my time at Warehouse 21 ...

I love every one of you.”

The Studio Center of Santa Fe rebrand is expected by spring of next year, and Gallegos y Reinhardt will be honored at a free open house event on Saturday Nov. 18 from 3-5 pm at Warehouse 21 (1614 Paseo de Peralta, 9894423).

Disclosure: This writer is a Warehouse 21 alumnus and previously worked for the organization.

During a street protest in Albuquerque, a tribal youth holds a sign remembering the loss of his two elders who were brutally murdered.

Justice Undone Three years after two homeless Native men were murdered in Albuquerque, there’s little action to address the underlying problems

LBUQUERQUE – With cuts and bruises on his face, back and shoulders, Jerome Eskeets frantically told police about the violent assault he barely survived the night before.

Eskeets, in his 30s, had been sleeping in an empty lot on Albuquerque’s west side. Nearby lay his friends and relations, Allison Gorman and Kee Thompson, also members of the Navajo Nation, Diné, the People.

They didn’t make it. Police found their bludgeoned bodies soon after talking to Eskeets.

Three years have passed since the brutal murders of Gorman and Thompson, both in their 40s. Like Eskeets, Thompson didn’t have a place to stay at the time. Gorman had been given a motel voucher, but according to a family member, he gave it to someone else.

“He was that kind of guy, always helping out when he could,” his relative recalled in court years later.

Three Hispanic youths—Alex Rios, Nathaniel Carrillo and Gilbert Tafoya— were indicted for their murders. They say they did it for the “fun” of it. Tafoya said it was a way of relieving stress for him.

The judicial system is closing the case soon. Tafoya is the last to face sentencing in December. But the vicious murders, which garnered splashy headlines and led newscasts for a few fleeting days as the horrors of what happened in that west side lot came to light, betray deep obstacles for Native people in Albuquerque and around the state.

“A large part of this is the backlash of not getting services back home. There are no jobs or housing. There are not enough services, especially crisis services. [Here,] there is mistreatment, profiling and discrimination. I have seen it. I feel hopeless about it,” testified Bea-

The report came out the summer Thompson and Gorman were murdered.

Native advocates point to historic prejudicial attitudes as an underlying cause.

“We see so much racism directed at Native Americans in border towns,” said Melissa Tso (Diné) during a street rally in memory of Gorman and Thompson a year after the murders.

As Berry prepares to leave office Dec. 1, Native advocates and community members say progress has been made on the list of tasks, but some ask for proof that any of it is making a difference.

Native American community in terms of jobs at the city and in leadership. I very much want to change that,” Keller said during a candidate forum in September at the Albuquerque Press Club.

The Native population on the street in Albuquerque is vastly overrepresented.

While Native Americans make up around 6 percent of the city population, they represent 15 to 17 percent of the homeless community, according to city stats. Last year, a city report documented that city staff reached out to more than 1,000 homeless Native American adults and their children, with another 47 children out there alone.

But Ambrose Ashley and Priscilla Jim, both Diné, said there could be more.

They mention some people don’t want to be found and others stay with relatives or friends. As Ashley drove the side streets off Central Avenue, Jim pointed out numerous places where the homeless Native community hangs out.

“I know,” said Jim. “Those are the places I hung out while I was on the streets.”

While Mayor Berry tackled some of his plan, chronic homelessness for Native Americans and violence on the streets persists, NMID and SFR found.

To document incidents of violence against Native Americans in the city, the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission held a public hearing at the Albuquerque Indian Center Dec. 4, 2014, almost six months after the murders of Thompson and Gorman.

During the day-long session, dozens of tribal members testified that they had been assaulted and treated inhumanely by city residents, business owners, the police and, at times, other tribal members.

“People are dying out here in the urban communities and there is a lot of hopelessness amongst people who are homeless,” testified Roz Carroll, a Diné advocate, parent and grandmother who spoke out at the gathering.

Advocates and Native people in the city said government efforts to date— and promises for action from the two Albuquerque mayoral hopefuls—are welcome.

But history must be dealt with, too, said Dr. Lloyd Lee, one of five commissioners for the re-established Com-

mission on Indian Affairs. Lee, Diné, is also an associate professor in UNM’s Native American Studies program. He explained that too often, when violence occurs against Indigenous people, superficial reasons like “having fun” are accepted and not questioned.

“It’s called internalized colonization,” said Edwin Gonzalez-Santin, director of the Office of American Indian Projects at Arizona State University’s School of Social Work.

“Border town culture operates according to the common sense of colonization. In a nation like the US where Indigenous peoples are not only still alive but active in politics, the US nervously continues to colonize them in order to reinforce its supremacy— indeed, its very existence—over a land that is not entirely its own,” wrote Melanie Yazzie in an Indian Country Today editorial.

“We don’t realize the way we see each other, treat each other, view things in life has been impacted by historical attitudes,” continues Lee. “They are in our institutions, ideologies and education systems. They surface as stereotypes, bias, racism, bigotry, whatever you want to name it.”

“I can see how they played a huge role on how these individuals [Rios, Carrillo, Tafoya] saw these men [Thompson and Gorman],” he added.

No Regrets Local man was one of the first to be jailed for participating in Standing Rock anti-pipeline protests

Police arrested over 100 people at Standing Rock on Oct. 22, 2016.

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m aaron_con_leche

A

year ago, thousands of people traveled to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to oppose the construction of an oil pipeline owned by the Houston-based company Energy Transfer Partners. Since then, the state of North Dakota has evicted the encampments and the pipeline has gone into commercial service. But the legal fight continues outside the media limelight for hundreds arrested there. For Lamy resident and musician Alex Simon, that fight ended with jail time.

Defendants, known as “water protectors,” have faced legal and travel expenses for court appearances, a small county and state legal system hostile to their cause, and uncertainty about their futures. Simon, who was charged following a prayer demonstration on Oct. 22, 2016, was one of the first two people to actually be sentenced to jail for demonstrating. After his recent conviction, he was imprisoned for 13 days at the Burleigh Morton County Detention Center in Bismarck, North Dakota.

SFR caught up with Simon, who briefly lived and worked in the Navajo Nation and Santa Fe before moving to Lamy, about his experiences and life post-Standing Rock.

He maintains that his only crime was pro-

testing for a just cause, and says he has “no regrets whatsoever.”

Why did you decide to travel to Standing Rock, and how long were you there?

Living on a reservation, you understand why it’s important to fight for something as simple as clean water. I arrived [at Standing Rock] on Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I was only supposed to be there for a couple of days but ended up there for four months. There were a lot of people who were starting a new life up there and didn’t have a backup plan. Every other day, you had the impression you’d be there forever, [but] in the days in between you’d hear word that we were getting evicted, that [police] had live ammunition. I had been there for too long dealing with too many uncertainties.

What was your role at the encampment and how has it influenced your current work?

We ran a production studio that did media in the camp. I’m a sound guy and composer, and I kinda fell into that role within the production team. People all over camp came to us, and it sort of spawned this idea to help Native people record their own songs and stories, which is what I do now.

We do recording workshops; we want to do stuff around Santa Fe, maybe [in] some Pueblos nearby. We’re still getting the re-

sources together. A good friend of mine I met at Standing Rock, he is Diné, he helps me run it as well. The idea is to get it running all over the country.

Describe your arrest and legal situation that followed.

We had sort of gone out with the intention of going on a prayer walk. We were met with police who have their military gear, and they start telling us to go back and macing people. They ended up taking [100 people] in that day, including me.

I was originally charged with criminal trespass and engaging in a riot. The case got dismissed [in May], then they slapped on a few extra charges. We had a hearing a couple of months ago, [at which Judge Thomas Merrick] casually referred to it as a riot—that tipped us off that he’d made up

Alex Simon served 13 days in jail.

his mind that this was a riot. I didn’t think they could possibly throw me back in jail. I made zero preparations.

What was jail like?

I was in maximum security for three days. I couldn’t tell you why. But I had about 60 people calling and leaving messages for me; it could have been that this strong show of support let them know they shouldn’t treat me too unfairly. They told me to pack my things and that I’m going to minimum. It sucked for me but it also sucked seeing what it was like for inmates who are there for, like, the fifth time. [Jail] doesn’t provide them with any constructive rehabilitation, [but] there were two good things. One was I really bonded with a lot of the inmates; people in there were from Standing Rock. My street cred was good in there. The other part of it was the support I got from the outside, which was astronomical.

How has this experience changed your worldview?

If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. I could not have been more benign in my presence. And it’s made me realize that Indigenous communities are vulnerable in a very particular way when it comes to law enforcement and predatory companies like [Energy Transfer Partners], who just want to trample over their land rights and treaty rights.

f anyone besides Phil Griego’s wife, Jane, were actually attending his trial on eight public corruption charges with any regularity, they could be forgiven for thinking there were two different cases playing out in the windowless courtroom on the third floor of the First District Courthouse in Santa Fe. To hear prosecutors with the state Attorney General’s Office tell it, Griego used his position as senator to

grease connections and engineer the sale of a state-owned building that would land him an outsized payday as a real estate broker. Despite having had ample opportunity to correct erroneous information about the sale or disclose his potential windfall to his legislative colleagues and let them vote on the facts, prosecutors say Griego kept it quiet.

Listening to the opening statement and cross examinations of his defense

attorneys, though, Phil Griego acted just as anyone else would. He didn’t try to throw his weight around as a senator and quietly went about his business as the legislation to authorize the sale sailed through the state house.

The witness lists submitted to the court in the weeks before the trial share eight names. There’s little dispute over the chain of events. Griego doesn’t deny asking staff to draft leg-

tences each; a bribery charge that is a third-degree felony and could cost five years; charges of perjury, unlawful interest in a public contract and violating the ethical principles of public service—all fourth-degree felonies—have penalties of as much as 18 months in prison each.

There’s a pair of misdemeanors, too.

Prosecutors leveled eight charges in all, enough to convince many seasoned courthouse watchers to predict a plea bargain in the weeks leading up to the trial that began on Halloween. But though Griego has sat through more than a week of testimony with a look on his face best described as something approaching bemusement, it belies his tenacity. If his attorneys are acting at his direction, it doesn’t appear Griego is willing to give an inch.

The timeline begins in early 2012, when the Seret family, which owns the venerable antique store bearing the family name as well as the Inn of the Five Graces luxury boutique hotel, responded to a request by the state to rent the building at 139-141 E De Vargas St. It’s an historic building, a mash-up that’s mostly in the Territorial architectural style well-known in Santa Fe. It was at least two homes prior to becoming the single building that housed part—or all—of the State Parks Division. The agency had more or less outgrown the building.

It’s right next door to the Inn of the Five Graces and the Serets responded that they’d like to buy the building, not rent it. The state wasn’t interested, but the Serets’ offer was all it had. Eventually, the two settled on a 25-year lease. It began in September of 2012. The family planned to turn the building into a fitness center and the lease called for roughly $36,000 annually in the first years, then $45,000. The Serets agreed to invest $250,000 in improving the building and to cover regular maintenance. Their investment was already approaching that

Phil Griego is facing eight charges related to the real estate deal and his elected office.

amount before the two-year mark.

Within six months, prosecutors say, Phil Griego was talking to the state about selling the building it had just leased.

Within a year, the state says he’d told officials he planned to sponsor a piece of legislation that would authorize the sale. In December 2013, he did just that. He later asked that the measure be reassigned to show state Rep. Jim Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, as its sponsor. Officially, Phil Griego wasn’t involved.

But prosecutors say Griego never let the legislation out of his sight. And he never disclosed, as public officials are supposed to, that he stood to gain from the deal. In the first week of testimony, they’ve sought to establish that Griego knew that the quieter he remained, the better off he’d be. Only when he needed to,

they say, did he put his hand on the scale to ensure the deal got through—standing in for Trujillo to shepherd the measure through the Senate Rules Committee, closely watching debate in the measure’s final Senate session before slipping off the floor in an effort to distance himself from the vote. After the authorization passed, he continued to follow the sale, and officially tied himself to it as a buyer’s agent in March 2014. When the deal closed that June, Griego got $51,389.07.

Griego’s attorneys, however, are trying to convince the jury that those same events are the actions of a man trying to keep the deal at arm’s length. He didn’t sponsor the legislation and didn’t vote on it because doing so would have been inappropriate. While he attended meetings after the authorizing legislation passed,

attorneys Tom Clark and Elden Pennington have argued, he didn’t lean on anyone to push the sale, even after he signed an agreement to represent the Serets. At a meeting with state officials in March, he may even have announced, in some form or fashion, that he did have a financial relationship to the deal, though witness accounts of that meeting vary. It was not, as Clark told the jury during his opening statement, “some grand fraud.”

What’s becoming more clear as each side attempts to tell its story is that the relationship between Griego and the Seret family wasn’t as mysterious as once thought. Sharif Seret, the 34-year-old scion who ran the Inn of the Five Graces at the time, told jurors he didn’t know Phil Griego as anyone other than a real estate broker recommended by the family attorney in the fall of 2013. Mariana “Mimi” Geer, the lawyer, mentioned that the state might be selling the property the Serets had just leased.

Seret said he wasn’t enthused about handling the real estate transaction for the building he’d just haggled with the state about leasing, so he didn’t think much more about the sale through the winter and didn’t meet Griego until after the legislative session. The family formally hired “Senator Phil Griego,” as the contract says, to be its agent and everything seemed to be moving forward until journalist Peter St. Cyr arrived after a Capitol Buildings Planning Commission meeting to question Griego (Cover, “Sold Out,” July 23, 2014).

Seret asked him why a journalist was asking questions and if there was something wrong with the deal.

“From what I remember,” Seret testified, “he wasn’t sure, but it really wasn’t something we should be worried about.”

The Serets had other long-term leases on their sprawling hotel grounds. They might have preferred to buy the building for $570,000 (they’d based Griego’s

ON THE STAND commission on an anticipated $850,000 price tag), but it wasn’t a must-have to keep the business afloat.

“The truth was, we didn’t have to buy the building. We had a long-term lease on it,” Seret told the court.

If anyone saw trouble coming, the prosecution thinks it was former State Parks Division Director Tommy Mutz.

Now retired, he logged more than three decades with New Mexico’s state parks.

On the witness stand, he wears the look of a man who would clearly prefer being clothed in something more comfortable than a suit. He’s a former pro ballplayer who spent a decade chasing dreams of being a major-league catcher—the position more than any other on a baseball field that is responsible for knowing what’s going on at all times.

By February of 2014, Mutz was nearing retirement. As he wrote in notes he started making during the legislative session in which Griego and his colleagues approved the sale, Mutz thought the deal stunk. And he thought it was obvious.

eventually void the lease and tank the division’s budget for that year at least.

Selling it was the better option.

Woods recalled in testimony that Mutz disagreed. He wanted to keep the old building and its 50-year lease (the Serets had demanded a renewal option for another 25 years) as a steady source of recurring income for the agency. By the time Mutz asked him for a meeting midway through the 2014 session, Woods was frankly sick of hearing about it.

The parks director’s notes say Woods told him to get over it: “You and I will both be dead in 20 years and it won’t matter.”

From the witness stand, Woods said that sounds like something he’d say.

The roughly $36,000 the State Parks Division took in from the annual lease was a drop in the bucket to Woods.

Mutz remembers him saying it “doesn’t amount to shit.”

Mutz argued any money from the sale would quickly be shunted off by lawmakers who were busy searching for much-needed cash or, at the very least, be turned into one-time expenses like a few trucks and a handful of primitive bathroom structures at state parks.

Woods told Mutz not to worry about it; he wouldn’t be testifying about the sale in any legislative committees. The department’s -Sharif Seret, attorney, Bill Brancard, Inn of the Five Graces would handle any questions lawmakers had about the sale.

T

he witness lists for State of New Mexico v. Phil A Griego include lawmakers, lobbyists and high-level state workers.

Attorney General Hector Balderas sent a team of his staff to prosecute the case before a jury in open court.

Here are a few of the key names. As each side attempts to tell its story, more than half of the witnesses on Griego’s defense list also are testifying for the state.

TJ TRUJILLO The attorney and lobbyist is a defense witness whom Griego consulted as the sale was going on, as well as during his Senate ethics investigation. Griego has agreed to waive attorney-client privilege for those conversations, but the state wants him to testify about all of his relationship with Griego. Trujillo’s attorneys are battling a state subpoena.

PETER WIRTH

BRETT WOODS

Now Senate Majority Floor Leader, Wirth at the time questioned the historical protection for the property. He didn’t know Griego would profit from the sale and testified that he would have slowed the legislation if he’d known all the details of the lease and that the Serets had the exclusive right to make an offer on the property.

The former Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department deputy secretary favored the sale of the stateowned building to the Serets. Woods told jurors, “I was afraid that the department would end up holding the bag on the thing with a building that could not be repaired.”

GERALD ORTIZ Y PINO

SHARIF SERET He ran the Inn of the Five Graces and told jurors that the Seret family attorney recommended Griego as the buyer’s agent in the fall of 2013. Seret says he didn’t meet Griego until after the legislative session and only suspected something might be amiss when journalist Peter St. Cyr questioned Griego at a meeting a few days before the sale.

An Albuquerque senator, Ortiz y Pino testified that he would have changed his vote on the sale if he had known Griego had a financial stake in it and that the lease required the Serets to pay for maintenance.

GEORGE MORGAN

TOMMY MUTZ

The director of the state’s Facilities Management Division, he testified that Griego called him after the session ended to make sure the deal was moving along. Morgan was surprised. “It was the first call I’d received directly from a legislator asking for information,” he told the jury. He did not know Griego was working for the Serets.

Head of the State Parks Division at the time of the sale, he thought it “stunk.” Mutz favored keeping the historic building and its reliable lease income, especially considering the Serets were on the hook for maintenance. That key detail was left out of the legislative dialogue about the sale.

s a child, I assumed when I grew up I would have daily access to a Holodeck so I could visit any place I imagined, a replicator to manifest endless desserts and a friendly android to do my bidding (yes, I watched too much Star Trek).

Somewhere between the cyborg Republican assassin in The Terminator circa 1984, the enslaving artificial intelligence in The Matrix circa 1999 and the Russian automation election bots circa right now, my unbridled enthusiasm for future technologies became tinged with what I like to call my Still Excited but Also Reasonably Cautious Post-Humanism Outlook (rolls off the tongue, right?).

Which is why the Oct. 24 event at Santa Fe Community College’s Trades and Advanced Technology Center was a welcome respite from the dystopian ambiance permeating these final Demodog-days of 2017.

Use of SOS, Gannes says, won’t be limited to the SFCC students, or even to the science curriculum. Anyone can browse the online data and create “playlists they can use with their students.” For example, a nursing faculty member will be using it for global health instruction.

THEATER FRI/10-SUN/12

-Duper Santa Fe Performing Arts’ youth troupe goes beyond the cape “It’s more contemporary than we’re used to putting on,” Santa Fe Performing Arts’ Corbin Albaugh says of the theater’s youth company’s upcoming show, Superheroes, by playwright Ian McWethy.

“It’s really nice, because now we get the kids working with more contemporary language, with characters who speak the way 21st-century characters speak.”

The show plays out in short vignettes that follow the lives of superheroes facing more mundane day-to-day experiences, like Batman arguing with a fast food worker, Robin attending a support group for sidekicks who feel overshadowed by their partners or the Incredible Hulk navigating his taxes. Albaugh, a graduate of the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, has worked with SFPA since 2011 and estimates he’s directed seven or eight shows with younger students. He says Superheroes was chosen to accommodate a smaller-than-usual cast and to provide the kids with something a bit more challenging. “The scope of children’s theater is so narrow,” Albaugh explains, “that I think it’s really cool we can offer the kids different spectrums of the theatrical experience.”

Emma Abby, 12, appreciates this. “It is a little bit more challenging,” she says,

“but I think it’s really fun.” Abby’s no stranger to the stage, having performed with SFPA and with community theater in Eldorado. “My favorite scene is the Spiderman scene,” Abby continues, “because everyone is in it.”

Camaraderie is, of course, a happy side effect of the theater’s youth troupe programming. Plus, the organization offers scholarships and sliding scale pricing. “It’s more important to get the kids in the building and involved,” he says.

As for the show itself, Albaugh believes it should be more entertaining for audiences than other, perhaps tired kid-focused fare, and further explains that the work has helped the young cast grow as actors. “Seeing younger kids up there doing really funny material—I’d imagine this show is usually done by teens or adults,” he tells SFR, “but these kids are doing it well, and it’s very funny … like SNL sketches.” (Alex De Vore)

Saved by the Bell Johnny Bell and the Visitors’ debut album makes banjo worth it again

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

O

nce upon a time, a band called Mumford and Sons pointed out to a generation of hipsters that the banjo was actually a pretty cool instrument. Of course, their radio-pop take on Americana was tedious from the get-go and really probably just consumed by your mothers, but still—I’d imagine it piqued a few ears all the same. Down the road a tad, superawful band Judah and the Lion also rocked out with the banjo, but they too insisted on diluting its powers with soulless pop and bafflingly terrible lyrics. And it was tragic.

Enter now banjo wizard Johnny Bell, a self-taught clawhammer aficionado who makes up for a lack of formal training with that magic ingredient that transcends all other ability: really fucking meaning it.

Bell told me that, if anything, his goal is to prove that banjo can be taken out of its traditional Appalachian context and provide for progressive compositions.

He’s been obsessed for years.

Bell still maintains his more prominent position with freak folkers Cloacas, but as a solo artist, he stretches out a bit more into his own thing on the debut self-titled two-song 7-inch from his new recording

project, Johnny Bell and the Visitors. The Visitors, as it were, are local trumpeter Ben Montgomery and drummer/audio engineer Will Dyar (formerly of Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand), and the trio eschews any particular direction for collaborative jamming that leads to fully realized songs.

Think experimental—by which I do not mean weird, at least not in the strictcontemest sense—and altogether more contem

plative use of banjo tunes than, oh, say, Earl Scruggs-like chase music; strumming patterns outnumber and outweigh Bell’s sojourns into finger-picking elements, and jazz-like horn melodies are layered over everything. Both are decidedly more haunting than anything, though, and Dyar’s percussion evokes an almost Middle Eastern feel. Songs, thus, are beautiful movements, making Visitors almost sound like a less precious and non-Morrissey-esque Beirut firmly rooted in the font-and-center banjo.

See, Bell has been squirreling away numerous banjo pieces for himself over the past few years (one might even call him prolific), but never quite knew what to do with many of them outside of a solo show here and there. I’ve seen him perform solo, too, but those sets generally contained lyrics; Johnny Bell and the

Visitors has none, is more ethereal and completely instrumental. Like Bell says, it’s “almost like the soundtrack to a movie that hasn’t been produced yet.”

This might also mean minimalist, like music to set a feeling without having to pay it much attention, but such a term doesn’t apply to the the songs themselves. Cover art, however, does approach this aesthetic; it also showcases where it’s coming from. Everything was designed by artist Kyle Durrie of Silver City-based letterpress shop Power & Light Press (which opened a location in Madrid at 2842 Hwy. 14 on Nov. 2). According to Bell, an almost off-the-cuff request he made to Durrie resulted in a design he loved so much that any reservations he had about releasing the album were immediately quashed.

Trust me—it’s worth staring into the desert scene for a moment or two. It evokes … feelings. perBell further explains that live per beformances, if any, will be few and far be tween in an effort to make such events more special or experiential. He’s hinted at possible live improvisation and experimentation between him, Montgomery and Dyar but, for now, it’s really just about the recording process and 7-inch release. Stream it for free at physjohnnybell.bandcamp.com, buy it phys ically for $9.99 at The Good Stuff (401 W San Francisco St., 795-1939) or from Bell himself if you should run into him.

New songs are in the works, and—as and—assuming the trio evolves and connects more and more—it should be interestinterest ing to see what’s next. But should you buy this album instead of just streaming it for free? The answer is a resounding yes. Visitors is yes. Visitors a promising new direction for Bell to take, and I’d frankly like to see what else he could come up with now that he’s embraced a side project. These guys are light years ahead of modern non-traditional banjo tunes—eat that, Marcus Mumford.

A Revolution in Images Tierra o muerte

BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

PRINT BY FRANCISCO MORA; PHOTGRAPH BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN

f you drive through the town of Tierra Amarilla in Northern New Mexico, you’ll see a large banner just off the side of the road. It’s a portrait of Emiliano Zapata, whose deeply furrowed brows, enviable mustache and implicating stare are unmistakable. Just to the right of his silhouetted face are the words “Tierra o Muerte.” Below, in cursive script, the banner proclaims, “Zapata Vive.” Land or death—this was the rallying cry of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), a time when Zapata fought for land reform. “Tierra o muerte” was also a phrase that was adopted in the late 1960s here in New Mexico when, at the height of the Chicano Rights Movement, Zapata’s visage and revolutionary politics fueled land grant struggles in Tierra Amarilla and elsewhere.

In 1967, silkscreen prints of the revolutionary similar in form to the banner circulated in the small town, the same year the militant organization La Alianza raided Tierra Amarilla’s courthouse. When I think about the image of Zapata that now hails drivers from alongside Highway 68, I feel the punch of multiple histories of revolution, image production and circulation that cross much of the 20th century.

I was reminded of this when I saw A Mexican Century: Prints from the Taller de Gráfica Popular, now on view at the New Mexico History Museum.

The Taller Gráfica Popular (TGP), or the People’s Print Workshop, was a collective print center established by four artists in Mexico City in 1937.

Although the Mexican Revolution had ended more than 15 years prior, the social and political fabric of Mexico was still amidst radical change. On the image front, the TGP took the reins in creating a visual language of labor, agrarian reform, public education and indigenismo meant expressly for the masses. They did so by building upon the legacy of José Guadalupe Posada, a caricaturist whose politically cutting prints could be seen in penny presses at the beginning of the 20th century. Taking a cue from Posada, the artists used the cheap method of linoleum cuts and woodblock printing to make their posters both popular and affordable. Because of this method, the chiseled marks of the artist’s hand, the labor of making, are almost always evident.

The prints have an in-your-face sensibility as a result: black and white, flat, stylized, angular, deeply silhouetted and populated by thick-set figures.

Some almost edge on abstraction with amped-up contrast between the dark of the ink and the light of

the page. The visuals are barbed, yet also straightforward, carrying messages that would spark recognition among those facing the uneven process of reform after the Revolution. Zapata’s face is easily recognizable in images that reach back and forth in time, from Mexican Independence to the Revolution, and from the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas to the redistribution of land as part of the new Mexican constitution of 1917. They are all part of the same varied story, one that unfolded in the history of the TGP’s images.

Take, for example, Francisco Mora’s “Contribucción del pueblo a la expropriación de la industría petrolera, 18 de Marzo 1938” (“The Contribution of the People to the nationalization of the oil industry on March 18, 1938”), which features two image registers on the same plane.

Above, a landscape is peppered with oil pumps bearing the Mexican flag. Below, a mass of people, many of whom are individualized, are donating whatever they own— money, sewing machines, pigs—to help pay the debt of expropriating foreign oil companies in President Cárdenas’ creation of a national oil company. Until then, all oil companies in Mexico were owned by foreign interests. At one point, the US industries owned 76 percent. With workers striking for better wages, 40-hour work weeks and benefits, the president intervened with expropriation in 1938.

On loan from the collection of former US Senator Jeff Bingaman and his wife Anne, Prints from the Taller Gráfica Popular proves an intimate show with images lining rust-colored walls in a low-lit room on the second floor of the museum. More emphasis on narrative storytelling in the curation would have lent context—because, in a sense, this is what the imagery was originally all about.

And while the pieces do have the ability to speak for themselves in their purely graphic appeal, the histories around them feel unspoken, even abridged; as viewers, we likely don’t have the same relationship to the Taller Gráfica Popular prints as those they initially spoke both to and of. I still recommend that anyone interested in seeing the visual culture of a revolution and its legacy take the time to reflect on their continued influence.

this come from? Were all these men molested by their fathers?

-Desperately Avoiding Discussing Disgusting Incest

I’m a 40-year-old bi man. I’ve been with my 33-year-old bi wife for three years and married for one. When we first met, she made it clear that she was in a long-term (more than three years) “Daddy” relationship with an older man.

I figured out six months later that her “Daddy” was her boss and business partner. He is married, and his wife does not know. I struggled with their relationship, since I identify as open but not poly. Eight months later, she ended things with him because it was “logically right” for us (her words). But she cheated with him four times over the course of two years. In all other aspects, our relationship is the greatest one I’ve ever had. I do not doubt her love for me.

My wife has met her biological father only a couple of times and her stepfather died when she was 16—the same year she went to work for her “Daddy.” Their non-work relationship started 10 years later, when she was 26. It’s a complex relationship, and he is not going anywhere, as they now own a business together. While I don’t think cheating has to be a relationship-ender, dishonesty always has been for me. The final complication: I have a cuckold fetish. I believe it might be possible to meet everyone’s needs, so long as everyone is honest. I will admit that, in the heat of passion, my wife and I have talked about her having “two daddies.” Do I consider allowing this, so long as everyone is honest? Is mixing business and personal matters going to blow up in our faces? Do I ignore the part of my brain that wants this guy’s wife to know?

-Distressed About Deceitful Dynamics Involving Entangled Spouse You don’t need my permission to consider this arrangement—allowing the wife to have two daddies—because you’re clearly already considering it. (You’ve moved on to the bargaining and/or writing-letters-to-sex-advice-columnists stage of consideration, the final stage before acceptance.) What you want, DADDIES, is my permission to do this, not just to think about it.

Permission granted. Could it all come to shit?

Anything and everything could come to shit. But your wife has been fucking this guy the entire time you’ve been together, and you nevertheless regard this relationship as the greatest one you’ve ever had. It stands to reason that if things were great when she was honest with you about fucking her boss (at the start) and remained great despite being dishonest with you about fucking her boss (the last two years), you three are in a good position to make this work now that everything is out in the open.

As for your other concerns: Most of the poly people I know started out as either monogamous or “open but not poly” (people evolve), we find out about secret workplace romances only when they blow up (skewed samples make for skewed perceptions), and you need more info about the other man’s wife before you issue an ultimatum or pick up the phone yourself (their marriage could be loving but companionate, he could be staying in a loveless marriage for good reasons, they could have agreed to a DADT arrangement regarding affairs). But again, DADDIES, you’re asking if something that seems to be working in practice might actually work in practice. And I’m thinking, yeah, it probably could.

I’m a 31-year-old gay man who looks 45. Most men interested in me are surprisingly up-front about expressing their desire to include a father-son element. Even men older than me call me “daddy” unprompted. I try not to be judgmental, but this repulses me. People who are into other forms of out-of-the-mainstream sex approach their kinks respectfully and establish mutual interest and obtain consent in advance.

Why aren’t I given the same consideration when it comes to incest role-play? And where does

Whoa, DADDI. Just as gay men who call themselves or their partners “boy” don’t mean “minor” and aren’t fantasizing about child rape, gay men who call themselves or their partners “daddy” don’t mean “biological father” and aren’t fantasizing about father-son incest.

Daddy is an honorific that eroticizes a perceived age and/or experience gap; it’s about authority and sexual dominance, not paternity and incestuous deviance. If being called “daddy” turns you off, you should say so, and your partners should immediately knock that “daddy” shit off. But you shouldn’t assume every gay guy who calls you “daddy” is into incest and/or was molested by his bio dad, because 99.999 percent of the time that’s just not going to be true.

Think about it this way, DADDI: When a straight woman calls her man “baby,” no one thinks, “OMG! She’s into raping babies!” When a straight guy says he picked up a “hot girl,” no one thinks he’s talking about a sexy fourth grader. When Vice President Mike Pence calls his wife “mommy,” no one thinks… well, Pence might be a bad example. (That man is clearly a freak.) But my point still stands: Pet names— used casually or during sex—aren’t to be taken literally.

I have a sugar baby who is a mature post-op trans woman. She is very attractive but also very high maintenance. (She has OCD.) I pay her $300 per anal sex event; I help with bills, food, etc.; and I spend every weekend with her.

I probably spend $15,000 a year on her. I’m happy most of the time (the sex is great), but does this arrangement sound fair?

-Daddy Asking Dan Divide the money you’re spending annually ($15,000) by the number of weeks in the year (52), DAD, and your anal-sex-event-packed weekends are only costing you $288.46 a pop.

Seeing as most sex workers charge 10 to 20 times as much for a full weekend, I’d say you aren’t spending too much. (If this arrangement is unfair to anyone, DAD, it’s unfair to your sugar baby.) Now, if you’re only pulling in 30K a year, spending half your pre-tax wages on a sugar baby is unsustainable. But if that 15K represents a small percentage of your annual income, DAD, you should give your sugar baby a raise.

I’m a 30-year-old woman who has always been more attracted to older men. I was with a guy last year who liked to be called “Daddy,” which was hard because he was six years younger. But now I’m secretly sleeping with someone who’s 34 years older than me. It’s not just sex—we have so much in common and we’re falling in love. I don’t know how long I can handle being a secret, but I don’t know if I can come out of hiding because of the age difference. He’s not as ashamed and would be more open if I wanted to be. Thoughts?

-Ashamed Sex Has All My Emotional Damage You haven’t been with This Old Dad long enough to determine if you have a future together, ASHAMED, so you can kick the coming-out can down the road another six months. If it turns out you two are emotionally compatible as well as sexually compatible, and you decide to make a life together, then you’ll have to go public. And if you find yourself worrying about being judged due to the age difference, just think of all the homos out there who went public despite their partners’ genital similarities. If we could stare down disapproving family members and smalltown prudes, ASHAMED, so can you.

Most modern-day literary translators have completed some level of formal education, but Jessica Cohen isn’t most translators. Born in England and raised speaking Hebrew in Israel, Cohen now calls Denver home. She works closely with Israeli author David Grossman, with whom she recently shared the Man Booker Prize for A Horse Walks Into A Bar. Cohen appears for “The Art of Translation,” a discussion presented by the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival at the Center for Contemporary Arts Sunday (3:30 pm. Free. 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338) to provide a closer look at the field, in conversation with local linguistics PhD Bonnie Ellinger (Alex De Vore) How does one get into literary translation work?

You’d get a different answer to that from every translator you asked. It’s the kind of job people fall into, though there are more and more translation studies and programs now. I grew up bilingual, did a little bit of translation as a student—mostly for other students—and then, by luck, I got a job translating software for Microsoft while I lived in Seattle. ... I found more and more that I was enjoying the satisfaction of working with literature. I find it more personally enriching and challenging.

We hear that translating the nuance and subtlety of humor might be the hardest part. Is this true?

It’s definitely a challenge. So much of humor and jokes is dependent on the culture, even within the same country. It can be based on regional or local. ... Some cities have jokes you’d only understand if you’re from that city.

Do translators often share credit for awards like you recently did with David Grossman?

Most people who read translated literature don’t stop to think, ‘Wait. Someone stopped to read and redo this book in a whole different language.’ It’s a whole art form unto itself, but there aren’t really awards for the translator to share credit the way the Man Booker does. Maybe one day there will be more.

FASHION

IN THE BAG Local bag maker’s designs are good for the planet and your closet

STORY BY MARIA EGOLF-ROMERO ILLUSTRATIONS BY THEA MILINAIRÉ

A

“

mi” is French for “friend,” and there’s a Beatles-born aphorism that you can get by with a little help from your friends. Local bag maker Rachel Reyes and her company Ami Bags prove it.

During our brief interview in her home studio on the Southside, Reyes mentions many of her friends by name, and tells me how they’ve helped her make Ami Bags her full-time gig over the past three years. Her friend Jenny, for example, donated paints after Jenny’s mother passed away, and her interior design buddies give her scrap textiles. Reyes is emphatic that many Ami Bags are inspired by these gifts.

Friends were also some of Reyes’ first customers. “That’s how this whole thing started, really, just my friends buying my bags,” she says. “Without them, I wouldn’t be here.”

Reyes founded Ami Bags in 2014 after leaving her first career working for her family’s jewelry business in Los Angeles, California. “I left there not knowing what to do, and having some time to figure it out,” she says, “but really in a painful place.” Another aphorism says creativity is fed by struggle but, after taking a class at LA retail store Sew Modern, Reyes went to work creating bags. “I just loved it,” she says, “the creative process.”

Recently—like, in the past few weeks—Reyes left what I like to refer to as her “survival job” as marketing manager at Body Santa Fe to make bags fulltime. She acknowledges that anxiety comes with betting everything on your passion, but says she can’t imagine doing anything else. “Every morning I wake up and I can’t stop thinking about the next bag I’m going to make, and every time I see someone, I study their bag,” she says.

Small Ami designs are made by Reyes in her Santa Fe home studio, and she partners with Los Angeles-based bag maker Albert Ghazarian to create her larger pieces. Ghazarian has been making bags since he was 12 years old, and his 50 years of experience shows. “It’s been a great partnership for me,” says Reyes.

Some Ami Bags are made with recycled or vintage textiles, so, they are limited-run because there is only so much reclaimed material. “These remnants would otherwise be in landfills,” Reyes says, “and I’ve started making these cute little clutches from them. It feels very responsible.”

Fashion, of course, is a pollutive industry and, Reyes says, “because of the awareness I have of what’s happening in the world, I can’t not have a responsible business.” Recycling materials comes with the added bonus that there won’t be be 10,000 identical clones of your handbag out there.

A purse is a functional accessory, so it needs to be easy to use. Nobody wants to fumble through a cavernous tote in the coffee line or search through too many tiny pockets at the movie theater. We want to reach into our bags and know where things are. Reyes says her designs

are “clean, colorful and unexpected,” and she’s right. But, they’re also sensible; the straps are a convenient length so the bag doesn’t sit too low, or right in your armpit; there are pockets, but Reyes doesn’t go overboard. “I make bags I want to carry,” the designer says.

Personally, I am lusting after the Santa Fe Bucket Bag ($345), which can hold anything from daily essentials to your farmers market haul. The black-on-

black version is right up my alley, but if you’re looking for a different color combo, Reyes is happy to work to customize certain aspects of your bag.

Small Ami Bags start around $40 and the largest ones go up to $345. The one-woman company features a slew of prices, sizes and shapes between, and you can see many of them locally.

Array (322 S Guadalupe St., 699-2760), Body Santa Fe (333 W Cordova Road, 986-0362), Daniella (500 Market St., 988-2399) or Albuquerque’s Spur Line Supply Co. (800 20th St., 242-6858) all carry her work; you can also pursue and shop her inventory online at amibags. com. The holidays are fast approaching and Reyes has few trunk shows lined up for gift giving season as well. Keep tabs on her via Instagram, also: @ami.style. usa.

Eat, Stay, Walk

FOOD

Play tourist with an afternoon among downtown’s dining

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

o, you’ve already taken your visiting family to view the miracle staircase at the Loretto Chapel, climb the ladders at Bandelier, and tour the entirety of Museum Hill.

You’re already planning to take them to the House of Eternal Return on their upcoming trip, but then what?

We suggest a walking food tour.

Last week, we tagged along for one of the lunch walkabout and eatabouts offered by Food Tours New Mexico, and while we’ve got some constructive criticism, it wasn’t a bad way to spend the middle of the day.

We met tour guide Carlos Zozaya at the predetermined spot on the Plaza this weekday morning—glad to discover ours wasn’t the crowd of 20 ringing a tall woman in hat, but the small group of eight standing near a smiley, puffy-haired guy in a beaded necklace. Score one.

Before we take even one step, Jonathan Medina pops out from behind the El Chile Toreado food cart and fills our hands with a ramekin of carnitas. Medina says his family’s green salsa recipe comes from a 16-year tradition of pro cooking. Its tangy, spicy flavor combo is everything you could want in a secret sauce. While Medina passes out the goods, Zozaya is steadily chattering away, offering advice on haggling with Native vendors under the portal and quizzing attendees about where they’re from and what else they’re doing in Santa Fe. Everyone outside the SFR crowd is on vacation. So we settle in for our own vacation of sorts when, after

a short stroll, we ascend the stairs to the San Francisco Street Bar and Grill (50 E San Francisco St., 982-2044) for a barely-noon margarita and a small plate of chicken enchiladas served Christmas, and we’re absolutely entertained by Zozaya’s tourist-friendly explanation of the whole chile situation.

“Why are New Mexicans so addicted to it? Why is it that when we are at the hospital on our death beds, we put it in our IVs?” he asks before launching into a speech complete with instructions about how red and green chile sauces are prepared. This is especially helpful coming from Zozaya; he’s had formal culinary training. When he talks about blooming and terroir and capsaicin, we really believe him.

Next, it’s the sights and smells at Santacafé (231 Washington Ave., 984-1788) during what’s now become the regular mid-day rush. The fried calamari with chile-lime dipping sauce is one of the reasons this Asian-French-New Mexican fusion menu remains a standby, and we’re pleased with the way the squash soup and its maple accents pairs with the half-

Pappardelle with beet cream sauce.

Carlos Zozaya, left, tells a tour group about the history of Osteria d’Assisi.

serving of New Zealand white wine we’re offered.

But here’s where we wish Zozaya had been a little more precise. He’s proud to point out that the restaurant makes a ton of its products from scratch, even down to the ketchup, which he says includes mango puree to make it sweet. But he says the condiment is for sale and called “Kathy’s Ketchup.” Really, it’s Judy’s. And it’s not clear how much longer that will be true.

It’s named for Judy Ebbinghaus, a former co-owner who recently parted ways with the operation. While the visitors might not notice this slip-up, it’s the kind of thing that makes a journalist go a little cuckoo.

We don’t hold that against him for too long, though, because we’re too busy stuffing a book of matches in our pocket lumi while we argue about farolitos vs. luminarias (Zozaya, from Albuquerque, says the latter) on the way out the door and across the street to Osteria d’Assisi (58 S Federal Place, 986-5858) 986-5858).

The farmhouse murals on the walls couldn’t be more of a juxtaposition to the stark interior of the last place and what Zozaya called its “freaky horns” decorating scheme. Here, we get a nearly full serving of house-made pappardelle in a beet

cream sauce and a glass of California red.

Now, we’re practically waddling, so it’s good that we’ve got a few blocks to cover before the next stop, at Santa Fe Olive Oil and Balsamic Co. (116 Don Gaspar Ave., 992-1601), owned by Mike Aranda, a young member of the family with a claim on Santa Fe plumbing fame. Sure, you can stop in the store and taste everything on your own, but Zozaya offers a few nuggets of insider information that you probably won’t hear on your own. Last, it’s off to the Kakawa Chocolate House (1050 Paseo de Peralta, 982-0388) for the kind of blissful dessert that comes in tiny blue and white cups, plus samples of other goodies.

Food Tour New Mexico, owned by Santa Fe son Nick Peña, offers a number of lunch and dinner outings, each with the same all-inclusive style and enough food and beverage to satisfy. At between $73 and $125 per tour, you’re looking being entertained and well-fed for more than three hours. Info is at foodtournewmexico.com.

If this sounds fun to you, don’t miss comparison shopping with similar tours offered by the also locally owned Santa Fe School of Cooking, whose instructors take to the streets for meets and greets—and eats. Those tours cover four stops and run $115.

Blade of the Immortal Review Takashi Miike’s gloriously violent 100th film

9

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

+ RIGHTEOUSLY

Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike (Audition, Happiness of the Katakuris) was never one to shy away from dark, depressing themes or ultra-violence. But even his most dramatic films have tempered displays of the basest human elements and emotions with humor—subtle or not—and a deep affinity for various aspects of Japanese subculture.

Blade of the Immortal, Miike’s 100th feature film, is essentially a love letter to Japanese cinema and mythology, the samurai film and the directors who came before and shaped the field.

In a post-feudal Japanese era, the masterless samurai Manji (Takuya Kimura) is cursed with immortality by an ancient crone. Left to ponder past failings, Manji becomes a recluse until Rin (Hana Sugisaki), the young heiress of a famed dojo, enlists his help in avenging the murder of her family. It seems an upstart young sword school finds the peace-driven lack of discipline

KICKASS

- LONGER THAN IT NEEDED TO BE

in most dojos unacceptable and has aimed to either ensnare them within a network of shadowy schools or kill all who would oppose them. Neat.

Manji, of course, takes the job, and proceeds to kill pretty much anyone who crosses his path.

For fans of anime classics such as 1993’s Ninja Scroll, Blade of the Immortal hits all the right notes—from the devilish cadre of adversaries with seemingly fantastical powers and abilities to the slowly forming relationship of the main characters. Manji and Rin’s is a more sibling-like union, but observing her reach her potential as our hero trudges toward redemption in a rapidly changing era that wishes to forget him is satisfying for samurai fans, ninja fans, anime fans, Japanophiles and otaku (Google it) alike. Manji’s immortality makes for some truly

astonishing gore as well, though it never feels gratuitous so much as it does authentic; sword battles, of course, are many.

Unexplored to any meaningful degree, however, is the changing nature of the era in Japan’s history. Battles become borderline tiresome as well due to a long running time. Still, it’s hard not to be entertained by the various twists and turns and, for anyone with even a passing fancy in Japanese moviemaking, Blade of the Immortal may just have become king.

BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL Directed by Miike With Kimura and Sugisaki Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 140 min.

LOVING VINCENT

7

Maybe our critic was just too stupid to get it, or maybe Loving Vincent was just kinda boring. Either way, it’s pretty.

+ SO BEAUTIFUL, SO UNIQUE - DOES NOT COMMAND ATTENTION

Before we go any further, it’s important to know one thing about Loving Vincent: it is gorgeous— like, GORGEOUS. But it’s just not quite where you’d want it to be in terms of narrative content, and it becomes increasingly difficult to stay engaged.

See, Loving Vincent is touted as “the world’s first fully painted feature film” by its filmmakers, and this is true; famous Van Gogh subjects (such as the postman Joseph Roulin and his son Armand, or Dr. Paul Gachet) become characters who inhabit a world that is brought to life by over 60,000 actual oil paintings from 125 artists done in Van Gogh’s post-impressionist style. It’s all at once jaw-dropping from both aesthetic and technical standpoints, and it seems like another iconic piece finds its way into the film every few seconds. Outside of this feat, however, lies a fairly middling story about the famed painter’s pros and cons as told through those who met or knew him in the small village of Auvers. Did you already know Van Gogh was tortured? Of course you did.

Quite well-known was brothers Vincent and Theo Van Goghs’ affinity for correspondence,

THE SNOWMAN

so when the postman Roulin discovers a final undelivered letter written by Vincent, with whom he shared a friendly relationship, he sends his son to Auvers to deliver it. The son, unhappy with the assessment that his father’s friend committed suicide, becomes fixated on getting to the bottom of his untimely death.

This is all well and good, and again— gorgeous. But it’s really just that the son presses the villagers in a completely unnatural manner, and the way everyone he meets has numerous in-depth memories of Van Gogh’s time in their town feels like a stretch. The story begins to unravel and stall, and the main performance from Douglas Booth (Noah) falls flat under a run-of-the-mill screenplay that could have really stretched out and done something wonderful, but didn’t appear to have been given enough time. The most exciting actor to appear is Chris O’Dowd, who plays the postman himself, but even he disappears almost immediately.

Bummer.

Still, it’s fun to wonder which paintings are which and, if nothing else, it truly is an astounding creation. It’s worth seeing for the visuals alone, just don’t expect it to grab you beyond its reminder that Van Gogh was a genius unappreciated in his own time.

+ BLANCHETT IS PRETTY AWESOME - FEELS TOO MUCH LIKE OTHER, BETTER MARVEL FILMS

Marvel Studios has an ongoing publicity problem with their Thor films; namely, they can’t seem to decide on an identity or tone. Thor was fine, Thor: The Dark World was a mess, and now, with Thor: Ragnarok, they seem to have simply decided to lean way hard into the feeling and aesthetic of the (arguably) superior and more popular series Guardians of the Galaxy.

We rejoin the titular Norse god (Chris Hemsworth) in the events after the previous Avengers film. He’s struck out on his own to get answers for these horrible visions he keeps having, but it seems like the only real thing he’s picked up is a pithy sense of humor. One could say this is about character growth, but really it seems like the filmmakers saw Hemsworth in the Ghostbusters reboot, realized he can be kinda funny, and chose to focus on that. It’s light at first and even borderline enjoyable, but before long he just starts to feel like a cheap Starlord clone sans Chris Pratt’s everyman charm.

Still, when a heretofore unheard of sister of Thor’s named Hela (the goddess of death, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

played cooly and enjoyably by Cate Blanchett) shows up with a bunch of hurt feelings and violent ambitions, Thor and his adoptive brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) are swept up into crazy galaxy-spanning antics and lessons about what’s actually important in life. Spoiler alert: It’s family or something.

Along the way, of course, other Marvel characters appear to lend a hand or comic relief, like the dickish Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) or the Incredible Hulk—who would have been a nice surprise if the trailers hadn’t insisted on spoiling it. Thanks, internet— for nothing. Jeff Goldlbum is fine, also, as … himself, actually; he always just plays himself, though his unhinged intergalactic slave master character does squeeze out a few chuckles.

Everything else shakes out just like you thought it would, but if it weren’t for a seriously hysterical one-liners from an alien voiced by director Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows), we might have already forgotten about this in favor of better Marvel films.

Seriously, guys, don’t start pigeon-holing yourselves now. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 130 min.

SUBURBICON

4

+ FANTASTIC SET DESIGN; NOAH JUPE - JUST PLAIN NOT THAT GOOD

Oh wow, George Clooney directs a film from a screenplay written by the Coen Brothers, and Matt Damon and Julianne Moore are in it, so it should at least be a fairly entertaining popcorn kind of flick—false! Suburbicon is mostly just weird and confusing with the bulk of the suspense fizzling out thanks to telegraphed plot beats and a meandering series of non-events bookended by Fargo-esque darkness that never quite gets there.

Damon is Gardner Lodge, some outwardly normal 1960s American dad who runs afoul of some very bad men. The in-too-deep trope works hard here as everyone from the bad guys and insurance investigators attempt to muck up his sinister plans. Unfortunately, Suburbicon seems to save the good stuff for offscreen moments or unseen prologue nonsense that we’re supposed to just understand already happened. This is baffling and cumbersome, especially with its holier-than-thou subtext about racism and the flawed nature of the American dream. Subtext, in fact, implies subtlety, of which Suburbicon has none.

Young Noah Jupe does surprise as Damon’s son Nicky, as natural a performance as we

actually get out of the film, whereas literally everyone else—even True Detective villain Glenn Fleshler, who is usually superb, falls flat under Clooney’s seeming insistence to point out how very creepy Levittown-type suburban tracts actually were (and are). Oscar Isaac (Star Wars) brings a brief respite of levity in his too-short appearance, but even he’s gone before we know it, and it’s back to Damon struggling for nuance when he should really just stick to Bourne movies or acting like he didn’t know what was up with Weinstein.

Kudos are in order for both art direction and an intense dedication to capturing the atmosphere of the 1960s, but methinks that if any other filmmakers had taken a stab at such a tale, it might never have been made. So here’s to you, Coen Brothers—you truly did help your buddy and his buddy make a movie. It still hurts, though, that anyone else might think it’d be worthwhile.(ADV) Violet Crown, R, 104 min.

ONLY THE BRAVE

9

+ A REALISTIC TAKE ON OUR WILDFIRE WOES

- YOU’LL CRY. MAYBE A LOT.

Santa Fe’s relationship with Only the Brave isn’t just that our city streets doubled for Prescott, Arizona, in some of the movie’s scenes. It’s closer to home than that: This could have just as easily been a story originally set in our town.

What we have in common with the characters and the events of the drama based on the true tale of the Granite Mountain Hotshots is a shared narrative of wildfire looming on the horizon every summer. We could have lost 19 strong, young men, just like Prescott did.

But the production doesn’t just go racing to the fatal blaze in a forensic fury; it lingers on the important tale of the risk that Prescott took by investing in the first-ever municipal wildland firefighting team to earn federal certification as elite hot shots.

The audience gets a quick read on four characters whose names we soon learn: superintendent Eric Marsh (the ever lovably gruff Josh Brolin of No Country for Old Men) and his second in command Jesse Steed (James Badge Dale, World War Z), along with Mac (Taylor Kitsch, Friday Night Lights), who doesn’t at all trust Brendan (Miles Teller, Divergent), a recovering addict who gets a puzzling second chance from Marsh.

The rest of the men in yellow shirts trudging through the pines blend together until the final credits, when we’re reminded of each one’s place, and of the empty space he left behind.

Fire itself is a strong character in the story, and its rendering on the big screen is beautiful even as it is horrifying. By the time we’re led to the Yarnell Hill Fire and we know what’s coming next, the tears start to flow. Ten minutes later, it’s a full-on sob- and snot-fest spurred on by the utter anguish of the sole surviving hot shot and the widowed women, remarkable among them Amanda, Marsh’s wife, from a fiery Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind).

In this storytelling approach there’s little room for blame, except maybe on the wind and on the imprecise flight of a few tanker planes.

Despite an abundance of Monday morning quarterbacking in this incident in real life, nobody’s painted as the villain or the one who made a bad choice. Marsh calls fire a bitch in one memorable scene, and she is. An indiscriminate one. She took. And she’ll take again.

THE SNOWMAN

2

+ NORWAY SURE IS PRETTY - LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE

Never a great sign for a movie when one is a mere 30 minutes in and thinking, “Why the hell did I come to this thing?” Yet one might be forgiven in the case of The Snowman—the new Michael Fassbender flick that’s infiltrated everyone’s Facebook walls for weeks on end— since it looks like it’ll at least be thrilling. But thrilling it ain’t, though it definitely is long.

Fassbender is Harry Hole (yeah— Hole), a Norwegian detective amalgam of similar hardboiled cops torn from airport bookstore lit. He’s the kind of guy who drinks too much, cares too hard and yet seemingly has no problem burning down every positive relationship in his life, including that of former flame Rakel (a barely-there Charlotte Gainsbourg) and her son Oleg.

Harry starts getting letters from a maniac who not only likes to kill people but likes to build snowmen, though outside of the “Ohmygod, there’s a snowman here!” revelations it brings, there’s really no point beyond a thinly veiled and horrible stab at serial killer trophy tropes or symbology. We’ll save you the trouble—there actually isn’t any, and despite Fassbender’s best attempts at portraying poor Harry as damaged, he really just seems like an asshole. Man, first Assassin’s Creed and now this. Bummer, Fassbender.

Elsewhere, middling or nearly-forgotten actors like Chloë Sevigny and Val Kilmer pop up as runtime padding and poorly constructed motivators for pointless supporting characters.

JK Simmons even appears, though his character may as well have been named Red Herring. All of this, of course, pales in comparison to the “payoff,” wherein we don’t give a shit who the bad guy has been no matter how surprising it’s meant to be.

It’s especially disappointing that The Snowman comes to us courtesy of director Tomas Alfredson, whose previous works like Let the Right One In or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy were at worst well-crafted, at best downright excellent—and though the streets and countrysides of Norway are gorgeous, even they can’t make us like this thing. This kind of makes The Snowman feel like the discarded pages of some never-released Girl with the Dragon Tattoo story that’s barely passable even as a distraction.

We can’t stress this enough: Do not see this movie. (ADV) Regal, R, 119 min.

+ HISTORICAL DRAMA THAT’S NOT BORING

- ABRUPT TRANSITIONS, SADNESS

If your Anglophile history archive is missing the story of Queen Victoria and Abdul Karim, there’s nothing like a spicy historical drama to change that.

Based on a 2010 book of the same name

by Shrabani Basu, the story is billed as the mostly true, somewhat rom-com version of an unlikely relationship. It starts off funny enough (watching Her Majesty—portrayed

by Judi Dench—shovel food into her mouth, then fall asleep before the main course) and moves to laugh-out-loud quips between the pair of men from India as they make their way to the presence of the Queen. The odd couple of tall, thin Karim (Ali Fazal, Furious 7) and the shorter, wider Mohammed (Adeel Akhtar, The Dictator) are referred to in the palace as “the Hindus” despite that they’re of the Muslim faith, and this is comical at first, then a depressing indicator of the moral danger of imperialism. The whole of the plot soon enough turns darker, as Victoria’s household, including her dickish son Bertie, the Prince of Wales (spot-on by an almost unrecognizable Eddie Izzard), turn against Abdul, and ultimately her.

Dame Dench’s queen is a wonder to behold, her face and body taking on the deep reality of all her 82 years as she portrays the longserving monarch in the final years before her death at nearly the same age, 81. Dench’s delivery and poise feel regal, except for a few scenes at the outset where there seems a too-abrupt change between her stiff-lipped disinterest and her wet-eyed admiration of a handsome newcomer.

We can’t help but drop into memories of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel when we see the sparkling interaction between her character and the young Indian man she befriends.

Both movies touch on the same themes, and this one’s ring of true life events increases its value. (JAG) Violet Crown, PG-13, 112 min.

James is an incredibly handsome 3 year old mixed breed who was brought to the animal shelter after being found as a stray. He currently weighs about 50 pounds but is a little underweight. We’d like to see him slowly put on another 5 pounds or so.

James is looking for a new place to call home and he’s hoping that could be with you. At the shelter, James has a friendly demeanor with people, walks nicely on leash and has a few good dog buddies.

James also has a soft coat and the sweetest face.

We already adore this guy and think you will too!

Holy moley, this guy is super cute and super friendly!

Dale is pretty darn handsome and currently weighs in at around 42 pounds. He found his way to the shelter as a transfer and is looking for someone to show him around town! He is about two years, which is a perfect age for a dog! We are just getting to know him at the shelter, but so far he’s been doing well in daily dog playgroups and loves meeting new people.

Dale would love to meet you today!

BYRON and his buddy WINSTON were rescued as young strays when they showed up at a ranch property in Santa Fe County. For years, they enjoyed the freedom of country life but were kept safe by being brought indoors every night by their caretaker. However, she has sold the property and moved to a smaller place where she is not permitted to have as many N pets as she previously could. Since BYRON and WINSTON are older cats, it was agreed that they should now enjoy retirement in a safer environment. Both cats are between 8 and 10 years old and while they enjoy each other’s companionship, they also seem to be quite I happy in the company of other cats and gentle dogs.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of November 8th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Adriana Martinez and Octavio Guillen got engaged to be married when they were both 15 years old. But they kept delaying a more complete unification for 67 years. At last, when they were 82, they celebrated their wedding and pledged their vows to each other. Are there comparable situations in your life, Aries? The coming months will be a favorable time to make deeper commitments. At least some of your reasons for harboring ambivalence will become irrelevant. You’ll grow in your ability to thrive on the creative challenges that come from intriguing collaborations and highly focused togetherness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The drive for absolute perfection could undermine your ability to create what’s very good and just right. Please don’t make that mistake in the coming weeks. Likewise, refrain from demanding utter purity, pristine precision, or immaculate virtue. To learn the lessons you need to know and launch the trends you can capitalize on in 2018, all that’s necessary is to give your best. You don’t have to hit the bull’s eye with every arrow you shoot—or even any arrow you shoot. Simply hitting the target will be fine in the early going.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remember the time, all those years ago, when the angels appeared to you on TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I had pimples when I was a the playground and showed you how and why to kiss the teenager. They’re gone now, although I still have a few sky? I predict that a comparable visitation will arrive pockmarks on my face as souvenirs. In retrospect, I feel soon. And do you recall the dreamy sequence in adolesgratitude for them. They ensured that in my early years of cence when you first plumbed the sublime mysteries of dating and seeking romance, I would never be able to sex? You’re as ripe as you were then, primed to unlock attract women solely on the basis of my physical appearance. I was compelled to cultivate a wide variety of mas- more of nature’s wild secrets. Maybe at no other time in culine wiles. I swear that at least half of my motivation to many years, in fact, have you been in quite so favorable a position to explore paradise right here on earth. get smarter and become a good listener came from my desire for love. Do you have comparable stories to tell, SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As a courtesy to your Taurus? Now is an excellent time to give thanks for what mental health, I minimize your exposure to meaningless once may have seemed to be a liability or problem. trivia. In fact, I generally try to keep you focused instead on enlightening explorations. But in this horoscope, in GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The next two weeks will be accordance with astrological omens, I’m giving you a one of the best times ever to ask provocative, probing questions. In fact, I invite you to be as curious and recep- temporary, short-term license to go slumming. What shenanigans is your ex up to lately, anyway? Would your tive as you’ve been since you were four years old. When old friend the bankrupt coke addict like to party with you talk with people, express curiosity more often than you make assertions.

There is a good you wake up each morning, use a felt-tip marker to draw possibility that exposing yourself to bad influences like a question mark on your forearm. To get you in the mood those I just named could have a tonic effect on you, for this fun project, here are sample queries from poet Sagittarius. You might get so thoroughly disgusted by Pablo Neruda’s Book of Questions: “Who ordered me to them that you’ll never again allow them to corrupt your tear down the doors of my own pride? Did I finally find devotion to the righteous groove, to the path with heart. myself in the place where they lost me?

Your kisses are a mouthdramatic, but you shouldn’t let that delude you about ful of firewater. I have never seen a more beautiful horithe influence you’re having. If I had to give 2018 a title zon than when you close your eyes. I have never seen a with you in mind, it might be “The Year of Maximum more beautiful dawn than when you open your eyes.” I Social Impact.” And it all starts soon. hope these words inspire you to improvise further outpourings of adoration. You’re in a phase when expressAQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The punk ethic is rebeling your sweet reverence and tender respect for the lious. It transgresses conventional wisdom through “a people you care about will boost you physical health, cynical absurdity that’s redeemed by being hilarious.” So your emotional wealth, and your spiritual resilience. says author Brian Doherty. In the hippie approach, on the other hand, the prevailing belief is “love is all you LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are you working on solving the need.” It seeks a “manic togetherness and all-encomright problem? Or are you being distracted by a lesser passing acceptance that are all sweet and no sour— dilemma, perhaps consumed in dealing with an issue inspiring but also soft and gelatinous.” Ah, but what that’s mostly irrelevant to your long-term goals?

Doherty says estly don’t know the answers to those questions, but I am quite sure it’s important that you meditate on them. that each moderates the extreme of the other, yielding a tough-minded lust for life that’s both skeptical and celeEverything good that can unfold for you in 2018 will require you to focus on what matters most—and not get bratory. I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, because sidetracked by peripheral issues or vague wishes. Now is the punk-plus-hippie blend is a perfect attitude for you an excellent time to set your unshakable intentions. to cultivate in the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Every one of us experiences loneliness. We all go through periods when we feel isolated and misunderstood and unappreciated. That’s the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to make loneliness less of a problem. I urge you to brainstorm and meditate about how to do that. Here are some crazy ideas to get you started. 1. Nurture ongoing connections with the spirits of beloved people who have died.

2. Imagine having conversations with your guardian angel or spirit guide. 3. Make a deal with a “partner in loneliness”: a person you pray or sing with whenever either of you feels bereft. 4. Write messages to your Future Self or Past Self. 5. Communicate with animals.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’m falling in love with the way you have been falling in love with exciting possibilities that you once thought were impossible. Oh, baby.

Please go further. Thrilling chills surge through me whenever you get that ravenous glint in your mind’s eye.

I can almost hear you thinking, “Maybe those dreams aren’t so impossible, after all. Maybe I can heal myself and change myself enough to pursue them in earnest.

Maybe I can learn success strategies that were previously beyond my power to imagine.”

Homework: If you could change your astrological sign, what would you change it to and why?
