CHRISTIAN PACE’S DEBUT EP SKUNK IS BEAUTIFUL, SOMBER, SINCERITY
“When recent Berklee graduate Christian Pace joined my zoom call to discuss the release of his first EP Skunk, it was from the backseat of a car jam-packed with guitar cases, bags, and the sleeping members of Allston-based, acoustic indie-rock band Tiberius, which Pace was joining for a tour throughout the Northeast. The conversation challenged some ideas I had about the creative process behind the making of Skunk, but it certainly didn’t challenge the awestruck impression I had after first listening to the EP.”

GO-TO: NASHVILLE (1975) DIR. ROBERT ALTMAN
“It’s always been curious to consider the legacy of the sprawling Nashville in the context of the entirety of Robert Altman’s career. The film has a comfortable place in the AFI top 100, and Altman is regarded as one of the great American directors. Nothing here to parody or controversy to reconcile with. This isn’t a film that has many iconic moments or lines; rather, it’s an undisputed masterpiece on American success and politics. Given the scope of his career, Robert Altman is one of my favorite directors. Yet, if someone has seen only one film from the Missouri born filmmaker, it’s the 1975 ensemble considering its reverence held by critics for nearly fifty years.”

GO TO: MIDSOMMAR (2019) DIR. ARI ASTER & SEASON OF THE WITCH (1973) DIR. GEORGE ROMERO
“Unhealthy relationships and the women who are sick of them is the common theme in the double-feature of Midsommar (2019), and Season of the Witch (1973) at Somerville Theater.
A favorite horror film of mine, I was excited to view Midsommar again alongside a new flick for me, Season of the Witch. You remember hearing talk of the horror movie that was so unique in taking place in broad, sunny daylight? Well, that’s Midsommar. And you know Ari Aster, the slow-burn, head-trauma, and naked people loving writer/director of Hereditary fame? You guessed it, Midsommar is his as well—and it shows.”
