Trilogy

[ateolf]

Mary Beth and I went up to Crosstown for a screening of Tav Falco's movie The Urania Trilogy. Alex Greene and the Rolling Head Orchestra did a live score (didn't realize it until it was over but it was Jim Duckworth on guitar!). The movie to me was kinda if Guy Maddin was Mike McCarthy. It's done like it's an old silent film though there is some sound, usually not synchronized (but then towards the middle in part two some of the dialog does start being synchronized). There is some interesting stuff and it can be quite funny at times. It is probably a bit overly long. Though one funny incidental thing is that after the part two ended and the title for part three came up a WHOLE bunch of people got up and left, probably believing that the third part was going to be as long as the first two. But then the third part was like MAYBE five minutes and then it ended. (The abrupt end was a very amusing part.) After it was over we went upstairs to Art Bar and hung out for a little bit.
