"The Past" (2013) was set in France, and even " The Salesman" (2016)—which, like his masterwork, " A Separation " (2011), won the Oscar for Best Foreign-Language Film—felt the pressure of external influence, concerned as it was with a staging of "Death of a Salesman" in Tehran.
A 16-millimeter masterwork from 1968, "Walking in an Exaggerated Manner Around the Perimeter of a Square," shows the artist in a white T-shirt and dark pants toeing the line of a square in an empty studio, stopping to strike an exaggerated Renaissance-style contrapposto.
In its scope, one cannot throw a proverbial stone without hitting a masterwork in fiction or documentary, but two of Varda's lesser-known films in particular — the mid-career documentaries Daguerrèotypes (1976) and Mur Murs (1981) — are humanist gems that provide a guidemap through her later work.
In the genre's masterwork, Funny Games, the house's essential homogeneity is its family's undoing; they're targeted in part because they and their house are so typical of the upper middle class — precisely like the kind of houses the trio of Don't Breathe normally chooses to rob.
Ludicra was one of the most important American black metal bands to have ever existed, and ever since they called it quits following the release of their 2010 masterwork, The Tenant, their influence has been sorely missed in the evolution of the USBM scene that they helped to spark.
Netflix's highly anticipated rerelease of the 1995 anime masterwork Neon Genesis Evangelion was supposed to be a triumph for the company and for anime fandom — but the show's streaming debut has already been met with fierce backlash from fans, due to two major changes from the series' original version.
One of the most influential filmmakers of the past several decades, she leaves behind two-dozen features, including "No Home Movie," which serves as a conceptual and emotional counterpoint to her early masterwork, "Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" (1975), which she made when she was 25.
But the years melted away as that man — Donald McKayle, the modern dance and Broadway choreographer known for exploring African-American themes in his work — watched a recent rehearsal of "Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder," his 1959 masterwork about life on a chain gang, with the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company.
Zulawski, who began shooting with the support of the Polish government, was ordered to cease production in 1977, a fact referred to in voice-over that was added 10 years later, when the filmmaker patched together a final version of what he referred to as his "murdered" masterwork.
Particularly in Common Sense from 1978 (reissued by Wesleyan University Press in 2016) and his 1979 masterwork, Licorice Chronicles, about which I have previously written, Greenwald weaves together his densely dissociated fragments into a personally expressive whole, often pointing to the natural world or the society in which he survives.
Jamison is to be commended for offering a near-complete and clear picture of Lowell's mood disorders and how those impacted his output: his masterwork Life Studies, after all, was the product of a two-month long bout of mania, and he candidly acknowledged the effects of mania on his poetry.
It's incorrect to say that "No-No Boy" is a forgotten masterwork (this year, the novel was reissued by Penguin Classics, though a dispute about the book's copyright has led Penguin to stop selling it in the U.S.), but it isn't often acknowledged for articulating what had never been said before.
It has taken me years to understand that, while I don't necessarily identify with a number of the characters in "Angels in America," Tony Kushner's brilliant, maddening, and necessary masterwork (now in revival at the Neil Simon, under the direction of Marianne Elliott), I do have deep feelings about the Angel.
Our auteur—he did not want to be identified, and so I will not identify him—recognized what is arguably the most histrionic chunk of Celine Dion's historically overwrought "My Heart Will Go On," and further recognized that it would elevate just about any sports highlight into a soaring comic masterwork.
The actors seize the raised platform of Ms. Devlin's set as required and hold it, Mr. Dillane's incantatory hush audibly hardening as Frank moves toward a final reckoning that conjoins with a later Friel masterwork, "Translations," to speak to the grim forces of tribalism that stalk the world at large.
And in 2001's "Spirited Away," the story of a girl's path to independence while being forced to work in a traditional Showa-era bathhouse frequented by gods and demons, and Miyazaki's second masterwork, a river god purifies himself in a steaming tub of water, washing away the detritus of men.
The timelines so important to both modernism's and imperialism's narratives might make it challenging to imagine Picasso's canvas as adjacent to Faith Ringgold's rather than the other way around, simply because the former "came first" and has been exhaustively touted as a masterwork, but this could be a more worthwhile experiment.
Whereas Herzog's masterwork focused on one narrative, though—specifically, the titular Spanish soldier and the gold-hunting conquistadores that accompany him on his South American journey— Embrace of the Serpent jumps between two separate timelines involving Amazonian shaman Karamakate and his assisting foreign scientists looking for a rare plant with hallucinogenic properties.
The movie industry's failure of women, in the substance of films and in work practices, is the subject of the revelatory 1976 documentary "Sois Belle et Tais-Toi" ("Be Beautiful and Shut Up"), directed by Delphine Seyrig, one of the great modern French actresses (and the star of Akerman's 1975 masterwork, "Jeanne Dielman").
" Though his film does not have the direct tie to "Network" he once hoped for, Mr. Greene can still fairly claim a kinship between "Kate Plays Christine" and what he called the "bold strokes" of Chayefsky's masterwork, a movie that tries to "grab you by your lapel and say, 'Pay attention, goddamn it!
The Prado said the portrait had been made by Velázquez as a preparatory painting for the face of King Philip III that became part of "The Expulsion of the Moriscos," a masterwork completed in 1627 but that was destroyed in the fire of the palace of the Real Alcázar in Madrid in 1734.
Michael Sandel's What Money Can't Buy (2012), Debra Satz's Why Some Things Should Not Be For Sale (2010) and Ronald Dworkin's masterwork Justice for Hedgehogs (2011) all sought to put "value" on more objective and less relative footing, to give it back all of the complexity that market reductionism had squeezed out of it.
You do eventually find some "Masterwork" items that have unique qualities, but even these are compromised by the fact that their stats are completely random (such as a bonus to the wrong damage type), necessitating a grind to make or find them over and over until you get one with bonuses that make sense.
The ghostly soul of the novel is the section detailing the making of Claude's masterwork, the story of a mysterious, consumptive widow — played by Sabine, her face made lunar with lavender powder, her eyes rimmed with midnight kohl — who runs a remote hotel where traveling salesmen might stop, at their peril, for the night.
Instead of being the latest installment in Hollywood's long-running obsession with war flicks, 1917 is a compelling human drama about the horrors of battle told with such technical and artistic mastery that it's not just one of the best movies of 2019—it may go down as Mendes' and cinematographer Roger Deakins' shared masterwork.
Wiseau's IMDB page only lists 12 acting credits, so that part clearly didn't pan out, but The Room did earn the enthusiastic thespian some cult credibility, as the trainwreck quality of his masterwork struck a chord with cinephiles and bad movie aficionados alike, keeping it in steady rotation on the midnight movie circuit to this day.
It must have taken Hardy almost an entire morning to learn his lines, which seem even sparser than his dialogue for "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015), although, as we know from that masterwork, the less we hear from him the tighter our grasp of his character, and the greater the powers that seem to be held in check.
In the scene, Rob (Kravitz), a record store owner, is called by her employees Cherise (Da'Vine Joy Randolph) and Simon (David H. Holmes) to settle a debate: Should they sell a customer a copy of Jackson's 1979 masterwork, Off the Wall, in spite of all the allegations of child abuse against him (his estate denies them)?
Hiroshige's masterwork (which actually consisted of 19503 prints, most of which he completed himself before dying in 21950) has endured for the same reason it was so popular in his lifetime: It is a chronicle of the changing seasons and daily life in what was then (and now) one of the largest cities in the world.
During a similar time period (April 2650 — July 252), the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice will exhibit 25 drawings, including the rarely displayed masterwork "Vitruvian Man," while the Sforza Castle in Milan is set to debut the newly restored Sala delle Asse room and show more of Leonardo's work on May 2, the anniversary of his death.
Unit 1, which involved buying and rehabilitating a turn-of-the-century apartment building in Detroit, and reconstructing one of the units — first in part at Volume Gallery in Chicago, and then in its entirety at MOCA Cleveland — then populating it with a number of large ceramic forms, represents the kind of masterwork that can eat an artist's entire life and practice.
After all, Malkmus is one of the most influential figures in indie rock, fronting Pavement in the '22000s (one of Murphy's earlier bands Pony were clearly influenced by the band's 215 masterwork Slanted & Enchanted) and having one of the most consistent runs with his band the Jicks culminating in perhaps his best non-Pavement LP yet in 2018's Sparkle Hard.
Much like the fragmented shards of broken mirrors that adorn the outbuildings and fixtures of Olayami Dabl's ongoing masterwork of installation art, Iron Teaching Rocks How To Rust, Buchanan's shacks look back at you, from windows like winking eyes, or windowless walls like blank faces — more so than through the elided features of the rare figure in her pastel landscapes.
As I wrote in 2008 about the earlier work: Sullivan understands that the paradoxes she has put into play can only be apprehended through the suspension of reason, and so, like David Lynch in Eraserhead or his recent three-hour masterwork, Inland Empire, she removes the assurances of a contextualizing storyline and plunges us into a world of primitive and irrational sensations.
Celebrating its bicentennial, Agnews will be showing the only known watercolor version of the famously sultry Pre-Raphaelite masterwork "Proserpine," by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), priced at £4.5 million, and the 1908 Solomon Joseph Solomon (1860-1927) canvas "Eve" — recently on loan to Tate Britain, and now offered at about £1.5 million — in a display mainly devoted to Victorian and Edwardian painting.
The exhibition is described as "an extensive tour of the life and work of Piet Mondrian," tracing the evolution of the artist's style from his childhood sketches to his final masterwork, "Victory Boogie Woogie," which he left unfinished on an easel in his East 59th Street studio in New York when he died of pneumonia at age 21940 in 21944.
And one of them is, in its own way, extraordinary: They are trying to determine if the heist was engineered by a retired New York City schoolteacher — something of a renaissance man — who donned women's clothing and took his son along as his accomplice, and then hung the masterwork in the bedroom of his own rural New Mexico home, where it remained.
The evolution of the oil lamp from crude container to sculptural masterwork is captured in the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum, which owns one of the richest troves of lamps from the ancient Mediterranean world, all produced between 800 BCE and 800 CE. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these 630 or so lamps are typically not on view.
If you've wondered what the fidget spinner is all about but haven't been paying much attention, Puschak's seven-minute mockumentary — made in the style of a Ken Burns documentary, complete with an intermingling of clips from Burns's masterwork The Civil War — offers an amusing but informative introduction, giving you the toy's origin story and providing crucial context for the 2017 toy craze no one saw coming.
Elsewhere in the room we encounter the feathery whiteness of Susan Rothenberg's "Tuning Fork" (1980), the zigzagging blue and white bars of Mary Heilmann's "Big Bill" (1987), and the pollen spores and floating cells of Terry Winters' "Good Government" (1984) — a title that refers to Ambrogio Lorenzetti's masterwork "The Effects of Good Government in the City" (1338-1339) in the Sala della Pace in Siena.
In its poetic breadth, the series reminded me of the wonderful Kate Atkinson book " Life After Life ," in which a woman keeps on dying, for nearly a century; of " Search Party ," the terrific show about another flawed bohemian solving a New York mystery; of " Fleabag ," that stylized masterwork about a liberated woman's self-loathing; and even of " The Leftovers ," with its loopy but sincere approach to grief.
" I read Mr. Rockwell something written in The New York Times about Fosse's brutally truthful autobiographical masterwork, "All That Jazz": It's about "a man furiously driving his failing body like a worn-out sports car, throwing pills into it like a high-octane fuel, packing it with more and more girls, until he smashes it into the wall at the end of the world.
" Though it lacks some of the fleet-footedness of the band's prior material, the song still definitely sounds like the band that last left us with the much-celebrated 2000 masterwork Relationship of Command, and Cedric Bixler-Zavala can still yell up a storm, especially when he's delivering such traditionally Bixler-Zavala lyrics as "portrait of a family force fed through tunnel straws / singing cannibal hymns of the bourgeoise.
In the drawing "Dancing Man: Movements and Emanations Create an Imaginary Space" (1921) and in the brilliant costume "Le Ballet triadique, Figure de fil de fer, Série noire" (1922) — made for his masterwork, Triadic Ballet (1922)— Schlemmer seems interested in moving robotic, crystalline bodies through space in a way that appears prescient of what we now know to be the effects of the internet on the human psyche.
There are plenty of albums in recent years that critics and listeners of Freetown Sound have drawn comparisons to, but the record that I keep thinking about during my many repeated listens is dance producer/queer activist Terre Thaemlitz's 2009 masterwork as DJ Sprinkles, Midtown 120 Blues—a record that also opens with a powerful spoken-word reflection on the past and how it ties to making sense of the present surrounding us.
It's the roughest city you've ever missed... from afar, but in Bay Area-based animator Elliot Lim's stunning tribute to David Simon's award-winning HBO series, The Wire, a certain familiarity pervades the ever-seedy atmosphere, flipping The Blind Boys of Alabama's Season 1 take on Tom Waits' modern dirge "Way Down in the Hole"—the series' "theme song," if you could call it one—into a motion graphics masterwork that radiates with the warmth of Margaret Kilgallen, despite the desaturated, deadly subject matter.
The waning subgenre of minimal techno received a much-needed (and, arguably, final) infusion of oxygen from Swedish producer Axel Willner's stunning and emotive debut as the Field, From Here We Go Sublime; M.I.A.'s landmark sophomore effort Kala anticipated the sounds of the future by effectively approaching genre with the type of all-at-once attitude you typically encounter at the toppings station of a 20143 Handles, while of Montreal's Kevin Barnes similarly anticipated the emotive and highly rhythmic synth-pop sounds that later took hold in overground alternative pop with his indie-disco-as-therapy-session masterwork Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
