Friends and I went to see Midnight Traveler<\/em> at Film Forum. Aside from us three, there were four other people at the screening. In 2016 the Taliban put a bounty on Afghan director Hassan Fazili’s head after he made Peace in Afghanistan<\/em>. He and his wife and their two young daughters fled Kabul. They first went to Tajikistan for an agonizing 14 months of filling in futile applications before being sent back to Afghanistan. Both filmmakers, Fazili and his wife, started recording their life on three cell phones. The documentary records their journey with two small daughters across Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria and Serbia. The courage and fortitude of the family is extraordinary as they endure refugee camps, escape from gangs and hide in forests in winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Girls have to have fun, right? That\u2019s why two of my other pals and I went to the Met. We went to the Roof Garden. It was an autumnal sky surrounding Alicja Kwade\u2019s ParaPivot I and II. The massive spheres appear weightless. We then went to the Dutch Masterpieces at the Met. 17th Century Dutch Art was collected at the Met soon after the museum opened in 1870. The current exhibit is luscious: buxom ladies at prayer, equally buxom servants<\/p>\n

I went to the New York City Ballet Tuesday night and was bored to death. I\u2019ve been a fan of the NYCB for many years and was dismayed at the mechanical presentation of Valse-Fantaisie and Kammermusik No. 2. Recently, I\u2019ve been going to the Joyce where the theater is alive with excitement both on the stage and in the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you seen Judy<\/em>? And why not? Everything positive people say about Ren\u00e9e Zellweger is true. She\u2019s caught Judy Garland\u2019s nervous walk and talk. She\u2019s also caught what a difficult person Judy Garland was to be around plus her heartbreaking vulnerability.\u00a0Rupert Goold,<\/span>\u00a0the director, flashes back very effectively to Garland\u2019s gruesome upbringing in glamorous old Hollywood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
