Watch the trailer for the highly-anticipated new drama ‘The Broken Circle Breakdown,’ about a torrid romance between two bluegrass musicians.

“The Broken Circle Breakdown won two prizes (Best Screenplay for a Narrative Feature Film and Best Actress in a Narrative Feature Film for Veerle Bartens) at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Co-written by Carol Joos and director Felix van Groeningen, this romantic melodrama follows the courtship of two artists as they fall in love and start a future together.

It’s love at first sight for quirky tattoo artist Elise (Bartens) and bluegrass musician Didier (Johan Heldenbergh). The two bond over their shared enthusiasm for American music and culture and dive headfirst into a sweeping romance that plays out on and off stage — but when an unexpected tragedy hits their new family, everything they know and love is tested.

An intensely moving portrait of a relationship, The Broken Circle Breakdown, propelled by a soundtrack of foot-stomping bluegrass, is one crowd-pleasing, tear-jerking, unforgettable experience.

The film’s soundtrack — scored by renowned composer Bjorn Eriksson — is currently #1 on the soundtrack charts in France and Belgium, and has become the best-selling soundtrack of all time in Belgium. Co-stars Baetens and Heldenbergh perform their own songs, and are part of the offscreen Broken Circle Breakdown Bluegrass Band, whose European tour is sold out through 2014!

The Broken Circle Breakdown opens at Landmark Sunshine in NYC on November 1, and will roll out to theaters around the country soon after.

The music from The Broken Circle Breakdown, already the top-selling soundtrack of all time in Belgium, is now available for purchase in the US on iTunes.” Tribeca Films

Is it really possible that there haven’t been many films about slavery that actually depict slavery with such authenticism? Perhaps, “Roots.”

There was “Gone With the Wind,” “Glory,” “Django Unchained,” “Amistad,” “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and “Lincoln” too, yet, the latest film from director Steve McQueen (“Hunger” and “Shame”), is so powerful that everyone will agree that it should be shown in every high school across America.

Based on a book written in 1853, “12 Years A Slave” chronicles the true-to-life experiences by an African American male named Solomon Northup, a sophisticated, free man living in Saratoga Springs, New York State with his wife and two children. Tricked, kidnapped, and sold into slavery, he was shackled, beaten, whipped, and ordered to work the cotton fields on a plantation in Louisiana for 12 years. Solomon, demonstrated strength, tenacity, and bravery, while being forced to partake, observe and perform in inhumane acts that seem incomprehensible.

As per Joel Coen, “Llewyn Davis (played by Oscar Isaac), is a made up character, with REAL music from the time period.” Step into the smoky “Gaslight Cafe” in 1961 where Llewyn is up on stage with a spotlight on him singing, “Hang Me, Oh Hang Me.”

“The Gaslight Cafe” was an American coffee house located in the basement of 116 MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village. The Gaslight (alternatively known as “The Village Gaslight”) opened in 1958 and was a well known venue for folk music and other musical acts, until it closed in 1971.

When Llewyn finishes his set, he is told that there is a man wearing a dark suit in the back alley who wishes to meet him. As he approaches him, he gets beat up.

Poor Llewyn, he’s down on his luck, and, in my opinion, born a little too early. Perhaps if he had been playing his songs in the late ’60’s, he would probably have been better received, but because it is 1961, most of the other acts, like “Jim and Jean,” still have a VERY clean cut look, personality and sound.

Broke, couch-surfing, locked out of the apartment with his friend’s cat, trying to get singing gigs, a manager who doesn’t help him, an ex-girlfriend who wants nothing to do with him, Llewyn is looking for a break.

Funniest scene: Adam Driver’s singing role as Al Cody in “Please Mr. Kennedy.”

Q: Why do you make movies about failures?

A: Joel Coen: “Because all the success stories have all been done.”

A: T-Bone Burnett: “Even if the scene or moment is supposed to be bad, the music has to be great.”

Q: How did you want it to look?

A: Joel Coen: “We actually shot more in the East Village than the West Village. Some streets in the East Village aren’t as built up as the modern day MacDougal Street. We wanted something to feel more like it would have in 1961. We did shoot a little in the West Village; Village Cigars, Thompson Street, Jones Street, and MacDougal.”

A: “Our first thought for the film was to shoot in black and white on 16mm, but that idea fell by the wayside when we started designing shots.”

Actress in the film, Bonnie Rose, Bette Midler’s stand in for “The First Wives Club,” and “Isn’t She Great,” and Dodi Gamble in “Inside Llewyn Davis,” answered the following questions for me.

Q: If you had to describe the Coen Brothers and then the character of Llewyn Davis in one word, what would they be?

A: Bonnie Rose: “It is very hard to say one word about the Coen Brothers…..

I would have to use two words about these two men who are iconic.

The Coen brothers are “Authentic Geniuses.”
The character of Llewyn Davis, is “resolute.”

The legendary social documentarian, Frederick Wiseman, made the 1968 fly on the wall documentary about interactions with teachers and their students at Northeast High School, entitled, “High School,” and other similar works entitled, “Hospital,” about NYC’s “Metropolitan Hospital’s ED,” “Domestic Violence,” “Public Housing,” “The Cool World,” about life in a youth gang in Harlem, and “Titicut Follies,” about the inner workings of a mental institution in Massachusetts. He is probably the reason there are HIPAA privacy laws now in place, however, his films are riviting.

“At Berkeley,” a 4 hour documentary, as you can probably guess, goes inside the classrooms, administrative faculty staff meetings, and on campus arts and entertainment performances demonstrating the inner workings of one of the nations top universities. Wiseman quietly and non obtrusively places the camera on the subjects allowing people to be themselves and conduct business as usual without asking any questions. The viewer feels as if they are in the same room with the subjects.

Not surprisingly, many of the vignettes discuss the economics of what it’s like to attend the higher learning institution and the challenges faced to financially run the facility. Other discussions include, the minority viewpoint, how to fight inequality and how to make a difference, former graduates of the University discussing the differences from then and now, the new facebook generation, a computer programmer who gets a robot to pick up a towel, a professor teaching his class about the concept of time and the laws of physics,

e-legs, the lightweight battery powered exoskeleton, which gives paraplegics new legs, and gets them out of the wheelchair and walking onto their feet. The exoskeleton consists of a robotic frame controlled through crutches. The crutches contain sensors; putting forward the right crutch moves the left leg, and vise versa. The eLEGS battery can enable a user to walk for one day before it needs to be recharged, according to the product’s developer Berkeley Bionics,

how ordinary people are responsible for social change, however, do not get the credit they deserve, what drives leaders to make those changes? A class discussing Henry David Thoreau, a janitor cleaning up, people just walking along naturally in the hallways and courtyards, a student crying because she feels guilty that her parents have to work so hard for her to attend the school, priorities of people who spend $30,000 for a new car as opposed to higher learning, the lawnmower on campus, tenure, cancer research, the Free Speech Movement Cafe, television news crews interviewing a student discussing the California budget, and egalitarianism, tai chi, lunges, a tight rope walker, the classroom of Richard Reich, the American political economist, professor, author, and political commentator, who served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997, and star of “Inequality for All,” discusses the organizations missions, and rewarding honesty.

A researcher on the Hep C virus, the Executive Vice President, layoffs, an increase in tuition, salary cuts for faculty, their competitors Yale and Princeton, study groups and racial discrimination, dancing in the courtyard, their sports arena and marching band, military training, police activity, the BART system, protestors, faces of students on a wall mural, a march held on Oct 7 with students who feel education should be free, the chancellor speaking to the media, the library, supernovas, the international admissions process, and reaching the brightest star, Sirius.

After watching four hours of footage, you feel as if you know your way around the campus without even needing a map, and as if you have received a degree from the University, without having paid the tuition.

Riviting!

Welcome to the 51st annual New York Film Festival 2013!!!

The festival, which runs from September 27- October 13, 2013 is jam packed with incredible films including: “Inside Llewyn Davis,” “Blue is the Warmest Color,” “Her,” “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” “Nebraska,” “About Time,” “All is Lost,” “American Promise,” “Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian,” and many more.

Ken Jones, the new director of programming, succeeding Richard Pena, introduced the director of “Captain Phillips,” Paul Greengrass (United 93), (Bloody Sunday). Paul shared with the audience how he and his 10 year old daughter took a walk in Central Park and he explained it’s been 40 years since he began his filmmaking career with a super 8 camera he found in his art room in secondary school. How he dreamed of becoming a director, showcasing a film at the NYFF. “It’s an honor to follow in the footsteps of “Battle of Algiers” director, Gillo Pontecorvo.”

Although Somali piracy has threatened international shipping since the beginning of Somalia’s ongoing Civil War which began in 1991, when a coalition of clan-based armed opposition groups overthrew the long standing military government, the majority of piracy cases have mostly occurred in the 2000’s, from 2005-2012.

I could write more about Somalia’s history, however, I would have to type the name of different factions and militant groups responsible for the mall shootings in Kenya, and I don’t want to take the chance.

In 2009 alone, over 70 ships had been hijacked by pirates in the waters off the coast of Somalia (the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden), one of which being the cargo ship the “Maersk Alabama.” On April 8-April 12, four Somali pirates seized the ship loaded with 17,000 metric tons of cargo, bound for Mombasa, Kenya, 240 nautical miles off Southeast of the Somali port city of Eyl, with a crew of 20 from “The United States Merchant Marines” onboard. Most of the occurrences are foiled, others end peacefully once the ransom has been received, and others incur fatalities.

The United States Merchant Marine (also known as USMMA or Kings Point) is one of the five United States service academies. It is charged with training officers for the United States Merchant Marine, branches of the military, or the transportation industry.

Midshipmen (as students at the Academy are called) are trained in marine engineering, navigation, ship’s administration, maritime law, personnel management, international law, customs, and many other subjects important to the task of running a large ship.

The Captain of the “Maersk Alabama,” Captain Richard Phillips was born in Winchester, Massachusetts and graduated from Winchester High School in 1973. Phillips enrolled at the University of Massachusetts and planned to study international law, but later transferred to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, where he graduated in 1979. During his schooling, Phillips worked as a cab driver in Boston. Phillips married Andrea Coggio, a nurse, in 1987, and had two children, Daniel and Mariah.

On March 28, 2009, he set off from his home in Underhill, VT to the waters off the coast of Oman and Somalia to unload cargo containers. Knowing he was in dangerous pirate territory, he ordered for the tightening up of security and for the cages to be locked, even while in port. At the same time, four pirates set out from Eyl, Somalia in 2 skiffs, with a mission to “get a big ship, so they can get paid.” When the Maersk noticed the skiffs on their radar, they went on lock down and prepared the fire hoses and necessary procedures, however, the ruthless pirates managed to place and climb up a ladder on board, screaming and demanding money. “$30,000 is nothing, we want millions!” “Irish, don’t move or I will —- you.” “Irish, don’t worry, everything going to be alright.”

This Hollywood psychological thriller, released by Sony Pictures, will have you sitting on the edge of your seat with your heart pounding, and if you like Tom Hanks, as much as I do, crying.

If only the walls could talk.  Without giving too much of the Greenwich Village Folk Rock tour away (as you will just have to come to New York City to take the tour for yourselves), step back in time to the late 60’s, early 70’s and see if you can look at the photos and figure out which used to be the Hotel Earle where Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Joan Baez, Earnest Hemingway, and Dylan Thomas stayed. See if you can find the locations for the album covers for “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,” Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush,” Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes’, “This Time It’s for Real,” and Fred Neil’s’ “Bleeker and MacDougal?”  Which venues used to be or still are “Cafe Wa,”  the CBGB’s for folk, “The Gaslight,” “Cafe Au Go Go,” “The Fat Black Pussycat,” “The Bitter End,” “Cafe Bizarre,” “Scrap Bar,” “Gerde’s Folk City,” and “The Bottom Line?”  Where did Bob Dylan live? Who used to look through his trash, and most importantly, which recording studio did Jimi Hendrix invest his money in?

A recent discussion with a Shakespeare enthusiast and world renown, critically acclaimed  American author, a performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”  on a Mid -Summer Night at “Shakespeare’s Globe” Theater, as well as, a day trip to Stonehenge, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon, and “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” a new musical presented by “The Public Theater” has inspired me to read the complete works of Shakespeare.  We’ll see how far I get.  I’m definitely starting with the comedies first. Yes, I did attend high school, however, I need a refresher, and I get much more out of the required reading from high school now that I am more mature.

1. The first one I have read, read the Cliffs notes and watched the 1978 BBC version, starring Helen Mirren as Rosalind,

“As You Like It”    Brilliant!

Act II, Scene 7, features one of Shakespeare’s most famous monologues, spoken by Jaques, which begins:

“All the world’s a stage
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts …”

2. Julius Caesar with Marlon Brando. Amazing. Read it. Read Cliffs Notes.

“Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears” is the first line of a famous and often-quoted speech by Mark Antony in the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. It is taken from Act III, scene II.

3. “Two Gentleman of Verona” True love prevails! Loved it!

4. “The Comedy of Errors” Diplopia. Seeing double. Roger Daltrey as the Dromio of Syracuse and the Dromio of Ephesus.

5. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” Revenge.

6. “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” A New Musical, presented by “The Public Theater” for free at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, NYC is hysterical.

As part of “The Public Theater’s” three part summer series 2013, they have already shown, “Comedy of Errors,” the first night of “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” was last night, and “The Tempest” is soon to follow in September.

On a picture perfect summer evening in NYC with an occassional cloud floating by, a sporadic breeze and the moon rising up over the open air, rain or shine, circular Delacorte Theater with the Belvedere Castle in the back drop, there sits a lodge, a wooden bar, chaise lounge chairs, and a banner sign strung across the two buildings stating, “Welcome Back Class of 2008!  Windsor Apartments and Resort.”

Much like the 2000 film version starring Alicia Silverstone and Alessandro Nivola, set in the 1930’s, this is a loose, modernized, musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy, “Love’s Labour’s Lost.”

When the King of Navarre and his friends swear to live without women for 3 years, and to devote that time to studying instead, the Lord Berowne starts singing, “Young Men are supposed to be having s#x. Don’t make me act 30 years old and be responsible before my time.”

There enters the Princess of France and her 3 friends, Lady Rosaline, Lady Maria, and Lady Katharine, singing “Fling with the King,” the eight of them fall madly in love, and the rest is a hysterical, story and subplot filled with gorgeous costumes, toe-tapping songs, amazing choreography, singing and acting, and a not so predictable ending.

Watching the Spanish swordsman, Don Adriano de Armado (played by Caesar Samayoa), dressed in a red speedo and cape, try to swoon the country wench, Jaquenetta,  by singing her an Eminem style rap song, is HYSTERICAL!!!

“How can love compare to a cold shower? A Kierkergaard book? A wheatgrass cleansing?”

7. “The Tempest” Free Shakespeare in the Park. September 6, 7, and 8th at Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

Synopsis: “Twelve years ago, Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, was overthrown by his treacherous brother Antonio and Alonsa, the Queen of Naples. Prospero and his daughter, Miranda, were driven out, exiled in a barely sea-worthy little boat, which miraculously brought the pair to this enchanted island.

Now a powerful magician, Prospero rules a kingdom-in-exile; the monster Caliban, sweet-voiced spirit Ariel, and the island’s many supernatural inhabitants. When at last, a dozen years into Prospero’s banishment, Antonio and Alonsa’s ship sails temptingly close, Prospero conjures up a storm-a tempest-to wash its company ashore.

The newly marooned Italians bring surprises, like drunken clowns Trinculo and Stephano, who conspire with Caliban, and Alonsa’s sister Sebastia, who nurses murderous intentions. Most astonishing of all, the now-grown Miranda “changes eyes” with Alonsa’s son Ferdinand-an innocent love that shakes Prospero’s certainty. Will ‘justice’ cost the next generation its happiness? Can Prospero interrupt the cycle of betrayal, or will he stay- alone and proud-on this island forever?”

“Confrontational exterior with a hidden heart. Once you see it, you’ll want to give them one more chance.”

8. “Romeo and Juliet” at the Richard Rodgers Theater on Broadway, starring Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad.

A very loose, modern, adaptation where the Capulet’s (Juliet’s family) are African American), while Romeo’s family, the Montegue’s, are Caucasian. The opening scene of the fight between the two rival families gets broken up by Lord Capulet (Juliet’s Father), and Romeo comes riding in on a motorcycle wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, jeans and Dr. Marten’s boots. Romeo is depressed because he is in love with Rosaline (a niece of Capulet), and wishes to meet her. He attends a Capulet ball in the hopes of seeing her, however, while at the lavish party with flame throwing, and attendees donning masks and beautiful costumes, he falls in love at first sight, with Juliet. The rest is tragedy.

Opening night was September 19, 2013.

9. “Twelfth Night” starring Mark Rylance began previews October 15, 2013.

I’m on my 9th Shakespeare play, and I’m noticing a trend, Shakespeare loved misunderstandings, confusion, love triangles, and girls who dressed up as boys (perhaps it is because all the actors were men back then).

When you walk into the artsy Belasco Theater with stained glass surrounding the light fixtures, there are actors up on stage preparing for the performance to begin, tailors mending Shakespearean robes, make-up artists are powdering noses, and musicians are banging on their drums, playing flutes, and rattling tambourines.

Much like “The Globe” theater in London, there are wooden bench seats with cushions physically up ON both sides of the stage.

Viola, a young lady who is shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria (the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea covering parts of modern Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Albania, Croatia, and Montenegro), has lost contact with her twin brother, Sebastian, and disguised herself as a man named Cesario, and enters the service under Duke Orsino.

Duke Orsino (Male) falls in love with Olivia (female, but the actor who plays her is male/Mark Rylance). Olivia is a wealthy countess and falls madly in love with Cesario (who is really Viola/who is a woman, played by a male actor, Samuel Barnett). Cesario is in love with the Duke Orsino.

Meanwhile, in the subplot, Olivia’s uncle (Sir Toby Belch), a rich man (Sir Andrew Aguecheek), Olivia’s servants (Maria and Fabian), and her fool, Feste, are all playing a trick on Malvolio (a steward in Olivia’s house). They have told Malvolio that Olivia is in love with him, when she really isn’t.

Wacky and funny!

10. “King Richard the Third” Killing people who stand in your way, will not make you a King. Lol.

11. “Macbeth” starring Anne-Marie Duff. Don’t listen to your wife! 🙂 Lol

12. “King Lear” with Frank Langella at BAM. Three daughters will drive any man mad, even a King.
