Toshio Matsumoto\u2019s masterly 1969 debut about queer life in Toyko,\u00a0Funeral Parade of Roses<\/a><\/em>, has been playing in a beautiful new restoration this week at Quad Cinema; I walked down from our office just a few days ago to see it.\u00a0Funeral Parade<\/em>\u00a0follows Eddie, a small-framed, sensual, nonconforming bar hostess, whose job at a gay bar is complicated by a troubling love triangle and traumatic memories she can\u2019t forget. Late-night rousing with her pot-smoking leftist friends doesn\u2019t alleviate her anxieties. Much of the movie leaves us in Eddie\u2019s head as she relives a cluster of agonizing\u00a0recollections\u00a0from childhood: her mother laughing at her when Eddie asks about her father; Eddie finding her mother entangled with a lover on the floor; the first time her mother caught Eddie putting on lipstick (also the first time Eddie herself experimented with a woman\u2019s mask). That these three memories focus on Eddie\u2019s mother should alert you to the Oedipal themes that thunder throughout this heated and beautiful spectacle.\u00a0Funeral Parade of Roses\u00a0<\/em>is, as BOMB<\/em>\u00a0says,\u00a0a \u201cgallery of masks, ones that people wear and occasionally let slip<\/a>.\u201d \u2014Caitlin Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early in his one-man show Secret<\/a><\/em>, the English magician and mentalist Derren Brown tells the audience not to divulge any part of his act. I will only say that it was, literally, incredible\u2014the first time I\u2019ve heard a theater full of adults gasp in disbelief. Brown specializes in old-fashioned hypnotism and mind reading, including the oracle routine (magician puts sealed envelope to head, knows contents), but he weaves his tricks into a finale so complex, baffling, and surprising that one wouldn’t know how to describe it, even if it were allowed. \u2014Lorin Stein\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone should organize an annual Father\u2019s Day recitation of Donald Barthelme\u2019s novel The Dead Father<\/a><\/em>, or at least its most famous passage, \u201cA Manual for Sons\u201d\u2014as savage a satire of toxic masculinity as has ever been written. In its twenty-three sections (\u201cMad fathers,\u201d \u201cleaping fathers,\u201d \u201cSexual organs,\u201d et cetera) Barthelme mounts a funny but supremely disturbed case for fathers as society\u2019s ultimate obstruction, the root of despairs both individual and cosmic. \u201cFathers are like blocks of marble,\u201d he writes, \u201cgiant cubes, highly polished, with veins and seams, placed squarely in your path. They block your path. They cannot be climbed over, neither can they be slithered past \u2026 If you attempt to go around one, you will find that another (winking at the first) has mysteriously appeared athwart the trail.\u201d In his introduction to the 2004 reissue I have, Donald Antrim wrote of the novel\u2019s \u201cobligation to freedom\u201d: \u201ca permission to reshape, misrepresent, or even ignore the world as we see it.\u201d That spirit gives the book a pungent power today, when misandry has (justifiably) garnered cultural cachet and the left has made #NoDads a trending topic. The Dead Father<\/em> feels eerily of the moment. Send it to the new dad in your life. \u2014Dan Piepenbring<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you get when you put a retired federal judge in a crowded bar in Netanya, Israel, with a self-effacing comedian at the microphone? A Man Booker International Prize\u2014at least that\u2019s what\u00a0David Grossman got<\/a>. His novel\u00a0A Horse Walks into a Bar<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is the transcript of a crude and aging comedian\u2019s stand-up set, which promptly devolves into a 191-page nervous breakdown in which the comedian, Dovaleh, recounts his early life, including the death of a parent (he omits which one until the end). Further complicating the matter, the aforementioned retired judge was invited to the set by Dovaleh personally\u2014in fact, they\u2019re childhood acquaintances who haven\u2019t been in touch since they were teenagers, when the judge witnessed a traumatic, formative event in Dovaleh\u2019s life. Did Dovaleh invite him for an appraisal of his comedy routine? To get even, in some way? Or is this some kind of perverse exercise in karmic justice? And, wait, does everyone in this bar know Dovaleh personally? Grossman\u2019s writing is dark, hilarious, and assured. \u2014Jeffery Gleaves<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you missed it in theaters, Showtime recently brought Maisie Crow\u2019s award-winning documentary\u00a0Jackson<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(2016) to television.\u00a0Centering on three women, the film examines the antiabortion movement\u2019s mission to shut down the Women\u2019s Health Organization in Jackson\u2014Mississippi\u2019s sole surviving abortion clinic. Shannon Brewer, the director of WHO, is contrasted against Barbara Beaver,\u00a0the executive director of the Center for Pregnancy Choices (an organization ironically aimed at counseling women into\u00a0committing\u00a0to their pregnancies). Meanwhile, April Jackson, a twenty-four-year-old mother of four, lives on food stamps as she confronts yet another unplanned birth.\u00a0Resonant of both the person and the place, Jackson\u00a0<\/em>embodies the issues at stake in a debate too often waged in the name of those it doesn\u2019t care to face.\u00a0Tackling the tensions beneath bloated rhetoric,\u00a0Crow\u2019s film\u00a0offers a fresh perspective on an all too relevant issue. \u2014Madeline Medeiros Pereira<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
