Under the U.A.E.’s glaring sun, the mutant furniture sits in a “ghost village” where buildings have been flooded by steep mounds of sand. This work, a sculptural installation by the artist Hugh Hayden, is intended as a statement on American school education, and, in…
Filmmakers often underestimate how important it can be to feel their love for their characters. When a writer/director sees the people on-screen as three-dimensional people with hopes, dreams, and fears instead of mere cogs in the machine of their plot, it’s much easier for us to do the same. For example, Richard Linklater loves Jesse and Celine, the leads in his “Before” trilogy. He roots for them. He wants to hang out with them as much as we do. And that kind of love for an unexpected pairing comes through in Jay Duplass’ wonderful “The Baltimorons,” a tender walk-and-talk that…

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Sabado por la Noche (Saturday Night) (1984) will headline Christie’s upcoming 20th/21st century evening sale in Hong Kong.

A lot of films have tried to do their own version of the plot of 1993’s “Groundhog Day,” the first Hollywood feature that combined videogame-play rules (the hero is stuck in a time loop, and if the clock runs out or he dies, he starts over) with earnest fantasies of self-improvement (he learns from his mistakes and carries that knowledge into the next go-round). There’s also been a related mini-trend of small-scaled science fiction movies that deal with ruptures in time and/or space and apply them to the lives of everyday people. There were several such films at South by…
