Giddyup! 2011 Culture Roundup
December 30, 2011 — by
So, this post is coming quite late in the month but I am sorry. As a real live junior in high school I have been dealing with crazy amounts of work that just makes me want to curl up into the fetal position with a log of cookie dough and read Edith Wharton…hmmm that’s just me? Alright. So I’ve been thinking a lot about what 2011 was like. And in truth it was kind of a rad year from OWS to OFWGKTA. But personally I am so done with 2011, onward and upward into 2012! Every year my family writes our wishes for the New Year on cards and hangs them on our Christmas tree. This year I wished for “Sparkles and Understanding”. In that spirit, I present some of my favorite tidbits of art and culture from 2011.
Deep End
December 21, 2011 — by
Deep End is about love in the most unlikely, and humid, of places.
Mike lives in the suburbs of London and needs cash, so he takes a job at the local bathhouse. While the patrons’ lecherous advances leave Mike relatively unscathed, it is his initially innocent attraction to his coworker that creates waves. The premise is simple but the film drew substantial acclaim following its release at the 1970 Venice Film Festival. The original soundtrack became almost as famous as the film, with tracks from Can and Cat Stevens.
Deep End will receive a limited run from December 16-22 at BAMcinématek.
