View from the Paperhouse. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. SIFF 2015 End-o'-Fest Roundup! Last year I went to nine movies at the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival and reviewed each of them at the end of the fest for this blog. Ich Seh, Ich Seh. Concerns nine-year-old identical twin brothers Elias and Lukas (Elias and Lukas. Changes. The acting is perfect from both the twins and the mother, their turns through the plot sympathetic at one curve and shockingly vicious at the next. The film has the good sense ...

View from the Paperhouse: February 2014

View from the Paperhouse. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Adolescence on the Lane through Hell - L.I.E. (LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY) (2001). You know who should have won all the awards by now? Paul Dano, who has done nothing but fantastic work ever since his breakout role in Little Miss Sunshine. But NOOOO.we can't POSSIBLY give him an Oscar or six, he's an offbeat character actor! Even though it appears he's getting praise for 12 Years a Slave. 15-year-old Howie Blitzer (Dano) isn't getting through his sophom...

Forgotten Leaves: Forgotten Leaves meets the new Sopranino Tuba repertoire
http://forgotten-leaves.blogspot.com/2015/05/forgotten-leaves-meets-new-sopranino.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. Forgotten Leaves meets the new Sopranino Tuba repertoire. Classical music is generally a polite environment, free of trash talk and slams (at least when Satie stays out of it). That doesn't mean that the scene isn't entirely insultless, such as today's case. I'm a member of a Facebook group called Composers for Performers, Performers for Composers. Reference. One of the best details is a noteless repeated section with the instruction "Just fucking throw 'Dies Irae' in there a ...

Forgotten Leaves: A haunted vanity - "A Spectre" from Five Woodcuts for piccolo and two violins
http://forgotten-leaves.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-haunted-vanity-spectre-from-five.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. A haunted vanity - "A Spectre" from Five Woodcuts for piccolo and two violins. As I've yet to find too many horror-appropriate classical pieces it should come at no surprise that there are exceedingly few leaves that qualify (and most of those I'm keeping for my article on Kubiniana. I challenged myself to confine each piece to one page, and the one that ended up with the most variety per second was "A Spectre". And the Three Japanese Lyrics. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Forgotten Leaves: May 2014
http://forgotten-leaves.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 12, 2014. A Languedoc Tantum Ergo. Perhaps it's due to the glut of brilliant talents that French classical music produced at the fin de siècle. With Brittany and quite notably Joseph Canteloube. With Auvergne, whose Chants d'Auvergne. Are sung quite frequently. Heck, I would've covered Joseph-Ermend Bonnal. Likewise, Déodat de Séverac. And there are plenty of recordings of his piano works (including an. I'll freely admit that. Séverac's setting of the Tantum Ergo. Isn't recognizably Languedoc...

Forgotten Leaves: Penderecki on the art of dancing on violin strings
http://forgotten-leaves.blogspot.com/2015/04/penderecki-on-art-of-dancing-on-violin.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Penderecki on the art of dancing on violin strings. Has had a very long, storied career, pioneering Avant-Garde music in Poland right after Stalin and his artistic policies died and further distinguishing himself from there. Unlike a lot of composers, however, Penderecki's music only got more accessible as it went on. His most well-known work is the Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. From a little movie called Shutter Island. Though admittedly a bit more.soundtracky. ...Piece...

View from the Paperhouse. Monday, January 20, 2014. In Memoriam Mike Vraney (1957-2014) - some Something Weird gems. I'm sitting here at Cinebarre, a movie theater in Mountlake Terrace, WA that also serves food and drinks to your seat. I'm amongst about 100 people who have amassed in honor of Mike Vraney, a man who the general public has never heard of but really should have. In the early 90's he founded Something Weird Video. And Doris Wishman ( Indecent Desires. Without this company we may not have eve...

View from the Paperhouse: SIFF 2014 End-o'-the-Fest Roundup!
http://view-from-the-paperhouse.blogspot.com/2014/06/siff-2014-end-o-fest-roundup.html
View from the Paperhouse. Monday, June 9, 2014. SIFF 2014 End-o'-the-Fest Roundup! View from the Paperhouse is unusual among film criticism blogs in that I very rarely cover new films (the one exception so far being Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen. Turned out, as its two screenings are either already sold out or only happening tentatively and I'd rather wait for its almost guaranteed general release. It's a promising lineup for SIFF's fortieth birthday, so let's get reviewing! First up was Attila Marcel.
