Garden of Earthly Delights

A beautiful British art historian, obsessively studying Hieronymous Bosch’s painting Garden of Earthly Delights, decides to take a lover and head to Venice when she finds she only has a few months to live. Full of wonderfully realized details and emotions, Majewski’s film is composed of the couple’s intimate video diaries before, during, and after their Venetian attempt to create heaven on earth. The gorgeous visuals, erotic honesty, and philosophical ambition recall the best works by Atom Egoyan, Peter Greenaway, and Mike Figgis. (103 mins., 35mm)

Nature Theater of Oklahoma "No Dice"
Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University
Date: 2008-02-09 18:30:00
Type:
Avoid the hex of the unbeliever! See both these shows by Nature Theater of Oklahoma, an exciting young performance group based in New York and directed by Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper. Their creative stagecraft transforms ready-made materials and found dialogue into revelatory DIY theater. With No Dice, you’ll come for the magic and stay for the ham sandwiches. An epic of the everyday, it’s a relatively short, 4-hour distillation of a quasi-legendary melodramatic spectacle originally 11 hours long. Using a text drawn from over 100 hours of the company’s recorded telephone conversations, the actors filter the seemingly mundane through the conventions of amateur dinner theater—and bring it all home with surprising and rewarding cohesion by the evening’s end. A critic for Portland’s Oregonian notes: “While the performance style is exaggerated, often downright goofy, there's a precision of diction, movement, expression and timing that puts them leagues ahead.…Nature Theater knows how to inspire a willing suspension of linearity.”

Bon Iver
Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University
Date: 2008-08-03 20:00:00
Type:
"A soulful performance full of intuitive swells and fades…initiates the listener into the song’s strange space." —Pitchfork Another breakout artist from South by Southwest is Bon Iver, aka troubadour Justin Vernon from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. (His stage name is pronounced “bohn eevair,” like bon hiver, French for "good winter," but misspelled on purpose.) Ensconced in his father’s remote cabin after the breakup of his band, Vernon immersed himself in daily chores and snowy woodland peace and quiet that slowly distilled into fresh approaches to both his songwriting and his musical identity. As heard on his debut solo CD, For Emma, Forever Ago, his music gains its strong emotional pull from haunting falsetto vocals and lush choral sections set against sparse instrumentation. Ruminative and rich in elliptical imagery, Bon Iver’s songs touch on loss and isolation yet connect deeply with those open to his heartfelt and exquisitely intimate sound.
