Reviews

Quentin Crisp (John Hurt) has tired of Blighty and arrived in New York where he quickly becomes a successful part of the theatre scene with his unique blend of monologue followed by a Q&A from the audience. Befriending "Philip" (Denis O'Hare) and promoted by "Connie" (Swoosie Kurtz) he is the talk of the town, until he commits a faux pas when responding to a question about the newly developing AIDS epidemic. His refusal to apologise or recant led him to fall from favour. He was increasingly rejected by a grieving gay community to whom he struggled to relate. His sardonic and aloof self defence mechanisms making it almost impossible for him to explain or say sorry. There's still one corner for him to turn, though, as he inspires the infected artist Patrick Angus (Jonathan Tucker) which in turns sees him back on stage, this time in a two-hander with "Penny Arcade" (Cynthia Nixon). Back in the spotlight, he realises that his hernia is the least of his worries, that time is running out and maybe now some new perspective is required. Hurt owns this part, and building on our introduction to this man from 1975, entertainingly delivers a performance that marries his realism and cynicism in a very stoic but ultimately very empty fashion. He lived into his nineties a wealthy and celebrated man, but did he ever actually enjoy his life - or really appreciate the joy of being loved, either?

The Blind Owl

Ricky is a young man who takes care of his sick mother. His father hovers at the edge of the picture, so Ricky provides for himself and his mom through prostitution, running errands, and acting as a caregiver for a blind man. Through the course of the film, Ricky befriends Janey, a young woman he finds beaten by her ex-boyfriend, and Trenn, a mysterious young man in trouble with the law. The three of them navigate a dark and confusing world. It uses many of the actors who have come to constitute the Dar A Luz company, including Tony Torn, Tom Fitzpatrick, Juliana Francis, and Tom Pearl. It will disappoint those who approach it looking for a film analogue of the “faster and louder” aesthetic that critics have used to characterize much of Abdoh’s stage work. The Blind Owl does use a variety of techniques reminiscent of his stage direction, giving it an unusual theatricality.
