MovieMore than 3,000 miners of Chile’s La Pampa were shot down by the national army during a demonstration in Iquique, a massacre told in Luis Advis’s 1969 cantata Santa María de Iquique. In The Blue Devils, Charlotte Bayer-Broc wanders through one of the ghost mining towns—a remote outpost in the Atacama Desert—interpreting Advis’s lament across eerily abandoned landscapes and industrial vistas. Bayer-Broc upends cinematic convention in a beguiling adaptation that is entirely her own; this medium-length musical is at once personal and political, reverent and burlesque.
MovieIn 1786, Goethe goes to Italy, to accomplish a childhood fancy. But how can he see the beauty of his Arcadia? There, everything is too ardent for the eyes, starting with Vesuvius which is erupting, and this mysterious Englishwoman famous for her “Attitudes,” a show inspired by antique sculpture.
