David Lynch: Mulholland Drive at the BFI

Katie Antoniou — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:38:13 +0000

Film

Doppelgangers, dream imagery and loose ends blend in David Lynch's modern classic, starring Naomi Watts.

10-29 February

After The Straight Story, Lynch returned to more familiar subject matter. Betty (Watts), a plucky aspiring actress, and Rita (Harring), a mysterious amnesiac who has stumbled from a car crash with several thousand dollars in her purse, search LA for clues to Rita's identity. Dense with his customary doppelgangers, dream imagery and loose ends, Lynch's film has an extra melancholic fascination with the destructive power of erotic desire.

A razor-sharp new play hits the Bush next week "The most accomplished and assured first play I have seen for years." ***** 5 stars The Independent

On the anniversary of T’s death, his four friends meet for a game of pool and a few drinks… Can they put to rest their guilt over his untimely death? Will their friendship survive the final betrayal? Over the course of one night and a game of pool, secrets are revealed and allegiances shift as quickly as drinks are downed.

Taxi driver- turned playwright Ishy Din's play provides a timely window into the lives of these young British Muslims - part of a 'snookered' generation - burdened by cultural expectations yet charged with personal dreams.

Hisaji Hara at Michael Hoppen Gallery

Art

For this series of beautiful, monochrome portraits Hisaji Hara has modelled his photographic compositions upon paintings by Balthus (1908-2001)

In the style of the Modern Master, Hara creates scenes imbued with an unsettling combination of innocence and eroticism. The models have the light, unselfconscious attitudes of playful children and yet their postures invite the eye to see them as sexual young women. Moreover, in reinventing the pictures, Hisaji Hara has chosen to dress his teenage subjects in school uniform, thereby emphasizing the uncomfortable transitional period between child- and adulthood. We feel as if we are the quiet, almost intrusive voyeurs to moments of youthful innocence.

Chris Goode & Company present God/Head

Katie Antoniou — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:35:17 +0000

Theatre

So there’s this writer...Thirtysomething, gay, lefty metropolitan writer. Atheist, obviously.

History of mental health problems, but those are all in the past. Sure of himself and his world view. Comfortable in his assumptions. And then one day, suddenly, without any warning...There’s God 21st February-10th March In this brand new documentary piece, award-winning writer and storyteller Chris Goode explores the flipside of the familiar crisis of faith: what if there really is a God after all? GOD/HEAD is a humane, candid, radically unsettling piece about the tensions between religion and neuroscience, and about the limits of language and the edges of desire.

Bright Club blends comedy, music, art, new writing, science, performance, and anything else that can happen on a stage.

A bit of a special one this. Since the researchers and academics are having fun in the Bloomsbury Theatre this month, we’ve decided to turn over our regular Wilmington Arms slot to a bunch of people from the world of music, telling funny stories and making jokes about the world of studios, gigs, record shops, tour vans and opera houses.

The lineup features:

Elis James, comedian, MC and pathological music fan

James Sherwood, comedy pianist and dissector of pop

Cat Rogers, opera diva and Cream off of Strawberry & Cream
