Meryl Meisler, Butterfly Bedroom Telephone, East Meadow, NY, June 1975<\/i>, black-and-white photograph, 1975, 20″ x 14 1\/2″. Image via Steven Kasher Gallery.<\/p><\/div>\n

Among the black-and-white photographs in Meryl Meisle<\/a>r\u2019s show at Steven Kasher Gallery<\/a> is a vitrine that houses ephemera from Meisler\u2019s youth in Massapequa, Long Island. One piece, from 1969, is an invitation to a swingers\u2019 party that asks attendees to rendezvous in the Island Discount parking lot and boasts that \u201cOur<\/u>\u00a0Color<\/u>\u00a0Coded<\/u>\u00a0Computer<\/u>\u00a0Carefully<\/u>\u00a0Coordinates<\/u>\u00a0Closely<\/u>\u00a0Compatible<\/u>\u00a0Couples<\/u>, (put that in your Funk & Wagnalls).\u201d Group adultery aside, this sounds like a fun bunch. And Meisler\u2019s photographs, which she began taking in her early twenties, bear out that notion. In one, an older woman lounges on a bed (whose butterfly spread matches the wallpaper that matches the curtains) while staring openmouthed and goggle-eyed at the camera. In another, a young man in a too-short terry bathrobe shaves while a woman brushes his hair, another man climbs onto the counter to stick his foot in the sink, and a third man, visible only in the mirror, views the scene over the top of the shower doors. The Meislers and their friends are like Tina Barney\u2019s affluent subjects gone astray: kitchsy, boisterous, and lovin\u2019 it.\u00a0\u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

A year ago, our director of advertising (read, \u201cthe person who sells our ads\u201d) left the Review<\/em> to host a TV show about fashion weeks around the world\u2014Pakistan, China, the Gaza Strip, you name it. Since then, we haven\u2019t seen much of Hailey Gates (though she did attend one Paris Review<\/em> party via FaceTime from the Congo). So it was with delight and curiosity that we received the trailer for her show,\u00a0\u201cStates of Undress<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0It premieres next month on Viceland. We\u2019re staying tuned \u2026 \u2014Lorin Stein\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent the other night curled up on my couch, watching Les Blank and Gina Leibrecht\u2019s charming 2014 documentary\u00a0How to Smell a Rose: A Visit with Ricky Leacock on His Farm in Normandy<\/em><\/a>. The film comprises one delicious conversation after another with a man who revolutionized documentary filmmaking and pioneered cinema verit\u00e9 in America. Leacock decries big-budget pictures\u2014\u201cGet rid of horrible professionalism,\u201d he says. \u201cWhat kind of bullshit is that?\u201d\u2014and revels in the art of making films about \u201cnothing in particular.\u201d We\u2019re fed delectable clips from his oeuvre\u2014from\u00a0Primary<\/em>\u00a0(1960) to\u00a0Happy\u00a0Mother\u2019s Day\u00a0<\/em>(1963)\u00a0to\u00a0A Stravinsky Portrait<\/em>\u00a0(1966). Mostly, though, we watch Leacock, invariably dressed in a plaid button-down shirt, puttering around his kitchen, making bouillon and pot-au-feu, and talking about the woman he loves (Valerie Lalonde, who is only \u201cslightly younger than my oldest daughter\u201d), about working with Robert Flaherty on\u00a0Louisiana Story<\/em>\u00a0(1948), and about the time a lamb sucked on his finger until he orgasmed.\u00a0How to Smell a Rose<\/em>\u00a0is a film much like one of Leacock\u2019s own in that it is, as he himself once\u00a0described\u00a0his most-prized documentaries, a \u201ccompendium of tiny incidents,\u201d and lovely ones at that.\u00a0\u2014Caitlin Youngquist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last night at the Cabinet<\/em> offices, Paul Lukas gave a funny and disturbingly well-informed PowerPoint presentation about the history of baseball-uniform stirrups: \u201cThe Evolution of Baseball\u2019s Pants\/Hosiery Dialectic.\u201d Fans of the sport have probably wondered why players wear stirrups at all: the tradition dates to 1868, when the Cincinnati Red Stockings made the scandalous decision to expose the socked calves beneath their pant legs. Problem was, players used to really spike one another in those days, and dyes weren\u2019t colorfast\u2014so when one player apparently died from sock dye\u2013related blood poisoning, the league mandated a white \u201csanitary sock,\u201d to be worn under the more colorful, dangerously dyed stirrups. From there the fashion saw a lot of ebb and flow, even after the advent of colorfast dyes: high stirrups, low stirrups, socks with a fake stirrup printed on them, baggy pants to conceal any evidence of the stirrup \u2026 you name it, it\u2019s been in vogue. Late last year, Lukas offered some of his knowledge in an interview with the MLB\u2014you can read it here<\/a>. These are great facts to have on hand as Opening Day approaches: half your friends will find them fascinating, the other half dreadfully dull. You know, like baseball itself. \u2014Dan Piepenbring<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tom Hooper\u2019s\u00a0The Danish Girl<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is a visually stunning film\u2014idyllic and painterly. Eddie Redmayne plays Einar Wegener, a popular landscape artist who broke barriers by dressing as a woman and eventually undergoing one of the world\u2019s first sex-change operations. The film\u2019s artworks are all faithful imitations of Wegener\u2019s real landscape work, adapted to fit the film\u2019s actors and locations, and the scenery gives a real taste of the beauty that inspired Wegener\u2019s work. More stunning than the scenery and artwork, undoubtedly, is Redmayne himself. He is gorgeous as a woman. It\u2019s one thing when he puts on his wig, makeup and the rest; wait until he smiles and blushes. \u2014Ty Anania<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
