1917 is the ďŹ lm that the centennial of the Great War deserved, arriving a couple of years late but still welcome.

The traveler’s guide to Hell on Earth Mendes’ epic 1917 earns every bit of the buzz

A

mong fans of the subgenre of literature known as high fantasy, there’s a long-running schism between readers who skip over the detailed travelogue descriptions beloved by such authors of 1,000-plus-page novels as Tolkien and Martin and those who think that getting there is half the fun. The handy code for this florid writing style is “worldbuilding.� Tastes in this matter tend to transfer over to other literary genres, as well as to onscreen translations of beloved works. You probably don’t want to know how much irascible fansite verbiage was devoted to arguments about the narrative “jetpacks� that got characters from one distant place to another by the next

HBO episode of Game of Thrones, for example. Where you tend to fall on either side of the worldbuilding divide may determine whether or not you agree with this reviewer that 1917 is the best war movie of the 21st century so far. My impatient Millennial moviegoing companion was less impressed, wanting the story to “cut to the chase� more quickly. But, I stubbornly argue, the long, grueling journey here is the chase. It’s the terrible stage on which the two main characters develop, and the unspeakable, epic-scale horror and stupidity of World War I is this film’s core theme. The human capacity for endurance and commitment is up there for our inspection, too; but mostly 1917 is the film that the centennial of the Great War deserved, arriving a couple of years late but still welcome.

You’ve undoubtedly heard about the bravura technical approach that director Sam Mendes brought to this project: filming the entire narrative as if it were one continuous shot. Remember the praise showered on that apparently uninterrupted five-minute backstage tracking sequence in Birdman in 2016? 1917 keeps it up for a minute short of two hours. The few actual edits are disguised with explosions, a cloud of dust, a plunge into water, cutaways to empty sky and a single blackout. Most

of this movie was literally made by a single camera following behind two guys tramping through mazes of foxholes and across a corpse-strewn No Man’s Land. One might conclude from this buildup that 1917 is merely g i m m i c k y, a soulless exercise in the technical capabilities of contemporary cinematography. Nothing could be further from the truth, says the pro-worldbuilding critic. The relentlessness of what we see onscreen is essential to our full understanding of the magnitude of the nightmare of war in general and this idiotic, morally indefensible war in particular. I’m

The acting, the art direction, the sheer cinematic sweep of 1917 are stunning and supremely award-worthy.

STAGE

Steven Wright to perform in Kingston

A

great poet of paradox, scientist of the artful non sequitur, Steven Wright may seem like a one-gear comedian, but it is a hell of a gear. “I have a large seashell collection,� he says, “that I keep along all the major coasts.� If you like Wright’s compact, isolated moments of selfdetonating, deconstructed logic and ontological meltdown – an addictive neurological effect tied to no era, place or fashion – you will always like them and prefer them to most other available utterances. Steven Wright, the world’s only reliable supplier of that Steven Wright thing, appears at the Ulster Performing Arts Center on Friday, January 24. Tickets cost $31, $41 and $55. – John Burdick Steven Wright, Saturday, Jan. 24, 8 p.m., $55/$41/$31, UPAC, 601 Broadway, Kingston, (845) 339-6088, www.bardavon.org

hardly the first reviewer to seize on the word “immersive� to encapsulate 1917, but there’s no better single descriptor. Following the release in 2018 of They Shall Not Grow Old, Peter Jackson’s extraordinary reconstruction of archival footage from the Great War, it was high time for a worthy you-are-there approach to that terrible human calamity. The protagonists of 1917 are two lance corporals, Tom Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Will Schofield (George MacKay), who are summoned during a springtime lull in the fighting along the Western Front in northern France to carry out what seems like a suicide mission. Their commanding officer, General Erinmore (Colin Firth), explains that aerial reconnaissance has revealed that an apparent pullback from the frontlines by the Germans is in fact a trap. The 1,600-man unit in which Blake’s elder brother Joseph (Richard Madden) is a lieutenant, the Second Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment, is about to pursue the “retreating� enemy and plunge into that trap. Blake and Schofield are handed new orders to stand down, which they must carry to the Devonshires’ commander, Colonel Mackenzie (Benedict Cumberbatch), by the next morning, or the entire battalion is doomed. At first, Schofield, the more battleseasoned of the pair, seems the more cowardly, throwing up objection after

objection to Blake’s determination to set out in broad daylight. But they bond quickly on their ever-more-perilous quest across a ravaged landscape, each required to save the other’s life on more than one occasion, and Schofield’s greater experience proves invaluable. The abandoned German trenches conceal booby traps; a plane shot down in a dogfight crashes in flames into a farmstead they’re inspecting; hidden snipers guard a collapsed bridge they must cross. Brief human encounters with French civilians, German fighters and a British convoy occur along the way, and natural beauty occasionally peeps through the devastation, as when the travelers find a cherry orchard lately cut down but still in full bloom. Known in the UK as the longest-serving performer in the title role of Billy Elliot the Musical and to American audiences

primarily as the naĂŻve boy king Tommen in Game of Thrones, Chapman as Blake evokes the faithful servant Samwise as played by Sean Astin in the Lord of the Rings movies. Mackay made a powerful impression as Bo, the teenage son of the Viggo Mortensen character in 2016’s Captain Fantastic, and he truly comes into his own as an actor here, as the initially reluctant Schofield staggers on through a numbing barrage of wartime terrors. The swiftly developing rapport between the two leads is something to behold, and will surely resonate with viewers who have personally experienced the enforced fraternity of the battlefield. A few quibbles: There’s one gaping plot hole, a scene where you’ll wonder why the convoy so recently left behind and still physically so close by doesn’t intervene in a helpful manner during a sudden attack. And if you’re aware that “Poor Wayfaring Strangerâ€? is an Appalachian gospel tune, you’ll be puzzled when a Devonshire lad is encountered singing it to his fellow soldiers. It’s an affecting scene, but‌why not use an equally plaintive traditional British song? Mendes and his screenwriting partner Krysty WilsonCairns even added the oft-overlooked detail of including a sepoy – one of more than 600,000 Indian soldiers who fought for the English side during the Great War – among the motley group riding the convoy. So why break the spell of historical authenticity sustained up until that point? When it comes to downsides, that’s all I’ve got. The acting, the art direction, the sheer cinematic sweep of 1917 are stunning and supremely award-worthy. While the Golden Globes are (not wrongly) regarded as indices more of fan popularity than of respect from industry peers, in this case I think their Best Picture choice may prove predictive of a repeat at the Oscars. 1917 is a genuine epic film – cutting-edge in its cinematographic technique, but oldschool in its emotional wallop. – Frances Marion Platt

On Friday, January 17, Tubby’s presents a quadruple bill dead-center on the house style, headlined by the gravity and heft of songwriter Thalia Zedek and also featuring Oakland guitar experimentalists Hazel Atlas, experimental electronics from Troy’s Madeline Darby and local legend Peter Aaron of Chrome Cranks fame.

Joshua Bell to perform Philharmonic benefit concert at Bardavon

E

very generation creates its own superstars in classical music performance. At present, one of the most prominent of these is the violinist Joshua Bell. Born in Bloomington, Indiana, the site of one of the world’s great music schools (the Jacobs School of Indiana University), Bell was able to stay right at home. After beginning his studies at the age of 4, he began working with the great violinist and teacher Josef Gingold at 12. At 14 he made his debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Ricardo Muti, and at 17 he performed at Carnegie Hall with the St. Louis Symphony. Since then, Bell has recorded more than 40 CDs, including his Grammy-winning recording of the Violin Concerto by Nicholas Maw (who was formerly a teacher at Bard College). Bell’s accomplishments and honors take pages to detail. Here are a few: Avery Fisher Career Grant; Musical America’s “Instrumentalist of the Year” in 2010; performing for three American presidents and the current sitting justices of the US Supreme Court; and performing on a 2017 Live from Lincoln Center PBS special with musicians from Cuba. Expanding his interest to conducting, in 2011 Bell became the second music director of the world-famous Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, succeeding its founder Neville Marriner. In addition to the Maw Concerto, Bell has premiered concertos by John Corigliano and Edgar Meyer. Among his collaborators have been Renée Fleming, Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, Josh Groban and Sting. His next CD will be a recording made with Chinese instrumentalists: a follow-up to a 2018 CD with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. Bell plays on a Stradivarius violin named for a previous owner, the legendary violinist Bronislaw Huberman. Bell’s collaborator on his current tour, pianist Alessio Bax, is a noted soloist in his own right. Born in Bari, Italy in 1977, Bax graduated from the Bari Conservatory at the age of 14. He won the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition in 2000, and performed with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS 2 for two years. He has toured widely as soloist and with orchestra. His discography now includes seven CDs, including discs of Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Rachmaninov and the formidable Gyorgy Ligeti. Joshua Bell and Alessio Bax will perform on Saturday, February 1 at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie. The program includes major works of Schubert, Franck, Bach and Bloch, with hints that other composers may appear as encores. The concert is a benefit for the Hudson Valley Philharmonic. – Leslie Gerber Joshua Bell & Alessio Bax, Saturday, February 1, 8 p.m., $100 ($150 with reception), Bardavon 1869 Opera House, 35 Market Street, Poughkeepsie; (845) 473-2072, www.bardavon.org.

BOOKS Triumph, scandal and a legendary basketball team Matthew Goodman reads The City Game at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck on Friday

A professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and director of the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic since 1994, Coplan is the principal outside counsel for Riverkeeper, Inc.

BOOK

Ready to go on a “carbon diet”? When nonfiction writer Matthew Goodman latches onto an intriguing subject, he runs with it – much like a scrappy basketball player might nab a rebound and pound down the court, all out. He has written about moon hoaxes in the era of Barnum & Bailey and round-the-world races by intrepid female reporters. His first book was a compendium of ethnic recipes representing the worldwide Jewish diaspora. Historical research seems to be his passion. Now Goodman has penned The City Game: Triumph, Scandal and a Legendary Basketball Team. It’s the story of the 1949/50 CCNY Beavers, an all-minority team – African Americans and Jews – of small repute who broke records and won not one, but two major tournaments, both the NIIT and NCAA, playing against colleges much larger (and whiter) than they were. That’s the triumphant part of the story. The spoiler in the subtitle foretells the reader that something ruinously bad is going to happen. A few of the disciplined, motivated, hard-driving, perhaps-a-littlenaïve players fall into a point-shaving scheme run by local bookies. It was illegal, yes. They weren’t that naïve. But it only happened a couple of times, and the ruse wasn’t set up to cause the Beavers to lose any games. So, how bad could it be, especially if everyone was doing it? “Everyone” included the entire metropolis of New York City: politicians,

Karl Coplan reads from his new book on Wednesday in Rhinebeck

I

f you’re seriously worried about whether your descendants will have a livable planet 50 years from now, and beginning to wonder if you’ll have one yourself even ten years from now, you’re probably also thinking about what an individual can do (beyond recycling religiously) to slow the juggernaut of climate change. You’re also probably wondering if it’s possible to shrink your carbon footprint significantly without giving up all of life’s little amenities. What are the options for those who would like to make climate awareness part of their daily lives but don’t want to go off the grid? Karl Coplan has made a commitment to be a living example of how this is indeed a doable thing. A professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and director of the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic since 1994, Coplan is the principal outside counsel for Riverkeeper, Inc. He started out his career clerking for chief justice Warren Burger, and in more recent years has been kept busy litigating lawsuits enforcing the Clean Water Act and other environmental laws in the Catskills and Hudson Valley. But even outside of work, he’s walking (and paddling) his talk. In his new book Live Sustainably Now: A Low-Carbon Vision of the Good Life (Columbia University Press, December 2019, $28), Coplan chronicles the joys and challenges of a year on a carbon budget: kayaking to work, hunting down electric vehicle charging stations, eating a Mediterranean-style diet and enjoying plenty of travel on weekends and vacations while avoiding long-distance flights. He explains how to set a personal carbon cap and measure your actual footprint, with his own results detailed in monthly diary entries. Presenting the pros and cons of different energy, transportation and lifestyle options, Live Sustainably Now shows that there does not have to be a tradeoff between the ethical obligation to maintain a sustainable carbon footprint and the belief that life should be fulfilling and fun. Want to learn more about how you can make a “carbon diet” work in your own life? Come hear Karl Coplan discuss his new book at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, January 22, introduced by Riverkeeper president Paul Gallay.

He creates a vivid scenario around the team and college basketball as it existed in postwar New York City, including a fascinating exposé about City College itself. One of the few integrated institutions in the country, it was known to be progressive and leftleaning – and free to anyone who could qualify academically.

NIGHT SKY

Everyone’s watching Orion The Hunter has become the hunted!

W

e have interesting opportunities this winter. Things in the night are changing their brightness. This is unusual: The constancy of the celestial firmament was for centuries an aspect of nature that represented constancy. Of course we all know that the Moon nightly alters its phase, and therefore its brightness – which is why Juliet famously protested to Romeo, “O, swear not by the Moon, th’ inconstant Moon, that monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.” The big “inconstant” headline-maker these nights is the famous star Betelgeuse, because it’s dimmer than anyone has seen it in a century. And one of the planets is about to give us astounding degrees of brightness-alteration. Together they make this “inconstant brightness” topic a great reason to take a minute to look up. With the Moon absent for the next ten evenings, it’s the perfect opportunity to step out or look through a window. Start with Betelgeuse (whose preferred pronunciation is BET’l’juice). If you can recognize the constellation Orion, you’re in business. It’s out all night long, and high enough to clear all trees and hills easily, starting around 7 p.m. in the east. For most people, the three stars in a row that form Orion’s belt are the most conspicuous part of the constellation. To the upper left of the belt is a bright orange star, and this is Betelgeuse. It has been in all the news because it’s dimmer than anyone has seen it in more than a century. A few astronomers think it may be a sign that it will soon explode into a supernova. But most believe that that won’t happen for tens of thousands of years. Anyway, Betelgeuse is famous for altering its brightness, so “reading anything into this” is probably more sensationalist than it deserves. But here’s the thing: Why wait to read about what it’s doing? Follow it yourself. It’s easy to do, really. Any clear night – and this next week is absolutely perfect – look at Orion in the east, and compare Betelgeuse with Orion’s brilliant blue foot star Rigel. Which is brighter? A few times in history, they matched. But not normally, and certainly not these nights. Now look way to the right of Betelgeuse to get to the first bright star in that direction.

The famous star Betelgeuse is dimmer than anyone has seen it in a century.

with all of the surviving members of the team), the reality is a good deal more complicated and emotionally affecting than the newspaper headlines might suggest. Ultimately, what might seem to be just a basketball story becomes a far larger one about loyalty, about personal and political corruption and about the consequences of youthful decisions that last a lifetime.” The scene is set with a familiarity that only a New Yorker might be able to pull off; Goodman is a Brooklynite, through and through. You can almost feel your eyes sting when he mentions halls filled with cigarette and cigar smoke. You can hear the roar of fans in Madison Square Garden. You can see the cold, crowded city streets of yesteryear. You can feel the pride that cometh before the fall for everyone involved. The City Game is a compelling read.

This also happens to be distinctly orange. This is the main star of Taurus the Bull, the famous Aldebaran. And that’s it. Simply see if Betelgeuse more nearly matches Aldebaran or more nearly matches Rigel. If it’s Aldebaran, then Betelgeuse is unusually dim; if Rigel, then it’s unusually bright. If halfway between the two, then Betelgeuse is at its normal brightness. By doing this, you can keep track of the strange fluctuations in the light of Betelgeuse all winter and spring. You won’t have to wait to read about it somewhere. An even-bigger and more reliable (but less mysterious and ominous) brightness change involves the planet Venus. It’s that really bright star that’s low in the west these evenings at nightfall. It hovers just above where the Sun set. For the rest of the winter and into the coming spring, keep watching Venus each evening at nightfall. You’ll see it gradually appear higher and higher up, and become increasingly brilliant. By March it will double its present brilliance and even be capable of casting shadows on snowy surfaces. Between checking out Betelgeuse and Venus, you’ll find a strange and wonderful nocturnal pleasure in noticing when the light changes. Betelgeuse Update: Sunday night’s Willow Observatory observation shows that Betelgeuse has faded further, though its spectrum is unchanged. It is now fainter than Aldebaran, and pretty much matches the light of Orion’s other (right) shoulder, the medium-brightness star Bellatrix. Extraordinary! The stuff of dreams. Orion has changed its appearance. Check it out! – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyOne.com.

In 1959, at the age of 19, Leonard Contino was severely injured in a diving accident. While in rehabilitation, Contino met a fellow patient, the sculptor Mark di Suvero, who would become a lifelong close friend. Di Suvero challenged him to start making art. This exhibition documents Contino’s dedication in more than 80 artworks, making it the largest exhibition of his work to date. It encompasses large hard-edge geometric paintings, playful collages, delicate reliefs and sculptures from the 1960s through the 2000s. “Totally Dedicated” will be on view from January 22 through April 5 in the Dorsky’s Alice and Horace Chandler and North Galleries. A public opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 8, from 5 to 7 p.m.

EXPLO∏E

A GENERATION AGO, MANY YOUNG PEOPLE pining away for a cabin in the woods to get away from it all might have found what they were looking for in Woodstock – or at least in one of the townships contiguous to it. Today, they’re more likely to settle for a Kingston home on a modest residential street.

Hot housing market For Ulster County real estate, 2019 was an up year

M

ore than a half-billion dollars were spent by buyers on the 1,665 Ulster County properties recorded as sold in 2019 by the Ulster County Multiple Listing Service. The $505.7 million in real-estate sales represented an increase of 7.85 percent over 2018, when $459.5 million were spent on 1621 properties. The median sold price in 2019 was $250,000, up from $229,000 in 2018, according to the MLS data, a hike of 9.2 percent. The real-estate industry tends to be cyclical, with its ups and downs, its booms and busts. For Ulster County, 2019 was an up year. The buoyant market wasn’t fading at the year’s close, either. Fourth-quarter data suggested the strength was carrying over into 2020, with $148.8 million in activity, up sharply from the $122.7 million recorded in the last quarter of 2018.

means to remain in their communities. In addition, property values change more in some neighborhoods, some classes of properties and some price levels more than others. A rising tide is uneven. In Ulster County, there were about 75 fewer listed sales in the under-$300,000 market in 2019 as compared to 2018, about 90 more in the middle market between $300,000 and $500,000 and about 20 more in the over-

The rise in Ulster County property values in the past few years is not aligned with price shifts in the larger metropolitan New York City market.

trade publications, prices rose more during 2019 in exurban counties like Ulster and Columbia, and somewhat less so in Suffolk, Dutchess, Orange and Greene Counties. Given the high home prices in the big cities, Anna Bahney of CNN Business recently reported, some first-time buyers are buying vacation properties at more affordable prices instead. Some people thought that investment was a good idea, and others didn’t. In 2019, there were about two percent more sold properties in the MLS data for Ulster County than in the previous year. Some communities reported a drop in the number of listings sold. Others – the hot markets – experienced significant increases. Kingston and Woodstock both recorded increases in sold properties. Woodstock, MLS said, reported 142 properties sold in 2019 as compared to 108 in 2018. Sold properties in Kingston in 2019 were 220, versus 176 in 2018. When it comes to real estate, Kingston and Woodstock constitute very different marketplaces (some would describe them as different worlds). The median sold price in Kingston in 2019 was $191,750, up almost 20 percent from the previous year’s $161,700. Woodstock’s median sales price was

$420,000 in 2019, a modest increase over 2018’s $403,500. Kingston is a dense historic city with small lots and long-established neighborhoods with varying economic patterns. Except for its central hamlet and a few other places, Woodstock is an artsy small town of private driveways and homes guarded from street view by vegetation. Different from each other though they be, both communities are proving attractive to newcomers these days, with significant increases in the past year both in real-estate prices and the number of proper ties sold. Kingston and Woodstock both recorded increases in sold properties. Increased sales transactions in each of these two communities in the past year accounted for the entire increase in sales in the county as a whole. Price isn’t everything, of course, but it’s a significant part of real-estate transactions. With interest rates low and a good supply of housing available, there’s bound to be demand at various price levels. But can those who are looking afford what’s available? How much choice do you have if you want to buy a Woodstock property for under $100,000? None. Only a single small one-

The median sold price in Kingston in 2019 was $191,750, up almost 20 percent from the previous year’s $161,700. Woodstock’s median sales price was $420,000 in 2019, a modest increase over 2018’s $403,500.
