ON THE COVER 23 Congratulations! Pasatiempo’s 2014 writing contest has a new look — we asked writers to keep it short. This experiment in flash prose and poetry yielded pieces on lost love, illness, birth, travel, family, history, hell, and Cormac McCarthy. Throughout the past weeks, the judges — the magazine’s writers and editors — read, discussed, and analyzed the entries, selecting the winners printed in these pages. On the cover is Maggie Taylor’s Stories Will Be Told; image courtesy Verve Gallery of Photography.

PASATIEMPO I December 26 - January 1, 2015

MIXED MEDIA

Hearts on fire Before you ring in the New Year with champagne and cheers, take a moment to celebrate the life of a loved one by having a farolito on the Santa Fe Plaza lit in their honor in an annual holiday tradition. Hundreds of farolitos line the Plaza during Presbyterian Medical Service’s Light Up a Life event. Though the public is welcome to attend the ceremony at no charge, anyone can purchase a $20 farolito, which is then labeled with the name of who it’s in memory of — whether that’s a person or pet, living or deceased. Light Up a Life begins at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31, with a short service that includes music, prayers, and the sharing of remembrances. Guests are encouraged to bring a photo of their beloved to decorate a purchased farolito; they can visit the information tables for help finding and decorating it. Proceeds from sales support the Hospice Center, which, founded in 1991, is the only nonprofit hospice in Santa Fe. A team of physicians, nurses, home health aides, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counselors, and trained volunteers provides care and support for individuals at the end of life and for their families and loved ones. For more information or to purchase a farolito, call 505-988-2211 or visit www.pmsnm.org. — Michael Abatemarco

GL W A Winter Lights Event at Santa Fe Botanical Garden

Go on — get organized. This is great therapy for the mood swings of the season and helps us to prepare for the New Year. But don’t start today. We want the world to stand still and let us catch up with emotional jet lag and digest holiday indulgences under a sensitive Pisces moon. We can rest well, but we get cranky under expectations. The sun, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto are all now structured in determined Capricorn, so it’s hard to let go of work or the feeling that we should be doing something more or different. This weekend an Aries moon nudges us into action to burn off a few holiday calories, but it can also spur our argumentative and competitive edges. It may help to have a family project to focus on — but we need to let each person work in their own time and style. An earthy Taurus moon infuses New Year’s Eve with a comfortable, sensuous energy that encourages us to review the past year and organize ourselves for a productive year ahead. Friday, Dec. 26: The mood is sensitive, easily overwhelmed, and softhearted. Morning drifts and dreams as the moon conjuncts Neptune in Pisces. Communicate consciously midday, and notice unintended signals. Tonight, release expectations — but remember to take care. Saturday, Dec. 27: Restlessness calls us to action as the moon enters proactive Aries. Respect individual paths, and all will be well. Tonight the moon conjuncts Uranus, and our impulse controls are down. Unexpected circumstances arise, and a sense of urgency creeps up — all this can interfere with judgment. Be safe. Sunday, Dec. 28: Dog sledding — that’s the ticket. People are uncooperative this morning, but the heart warms with a sense of acceptance this afternoon as the moon trines Jupiter. Monday, Dec. 29: Cranky edges show this morning. We have had enough of collaborative action and need to move independently. Later in the day, we are happy to see and reconnect with one another — but keep the reins loose. Tuesday, Dec. 30: The mood is practicable and earthy, if competitive. Listen to the personal needs of health and the gentle callings of the heart. After weeks of social obligations, we need to hear ourselves. Work on practical things, physical comforts, or logical next steps, but lead by example rather than advice.

Wednesday, Dec. 31: If a bittersweet quality is apparent this morning, it may help to honor whom or what we’ve said goodbye to this past year. We resist being hurried, though a sense of urgency creeps in around dinnertime as the moon squares Mars and reminds us of everything we haven’t yet accomplished. Comfort matters more than a wild time this New Year’s Eve. Connection improves late at night as the moon trines Venus.

Thursday, Jan. 1: After a slow, cozy morning, a buzz builds midday as the moon enters Gemini. The conversation grows more serious and substantial than we would have anticipated as Mars opposes Jupiter. Compete, not for the opinion of others, but with one’s personal best to make this year better than last. ◀

RANDOM ACTS Toast and Jem

Celebrate the New Year with a night of dancing, eating, and merriment with the energizing music of American Jem, Santa Fe’s award-winning acoustic Americana trio, at the Performance Space inside La Plancha restaurant at La Tienda (7 Caliente Road, Eldorado). American Jem features three-part harmonies performed by songwriter Jay Cawley on guitar and bass, vocalist Ellie Dendahl on guitar and mandolin, and baritone Michael Umphrey on guitar. The festivities begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31, with a three-course dinner catered by La Plancha chef Juan Carlos. American Jem performs its “New York” music set from 8:30 to 10 p.m. (midnight in the Big Apple), and again from 10:30 p.m. to midnight. The cost is $60 per person. Seating is limited; call 505-670-8604 to reserve a spot. — Michael Abatemarco

THIS WEEK

Bruch’s best: Performance Santa Fe Orchestra

Max Bruch composed three violin concertos, but only the first escaped obscurity, which it did with a vengeance. Practically all virtuoso fiddlers keep it in their repertoire, where it stands as a junior-sized counterpart to the towering Violin Concerto by Johannes Brahms, which followed it by a decade. Bruch was coached on the details of violin writing by Joseph Joachim, who later offered this assessment: “The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, the most uncompromising, is Beethoven’s. The one by Brahms vies with it in seriousness. The richest, the most seductive, was written by Max Bruch. But the most inward, the heart’s jewel, is Mendelssohn’s.” On New Year’s Eve, the esteemed UkrainianIsraeli violinist Vadim Gluzman performs this most seductive of concertos, with Joseph Illick conducting the Performance Santa Fe Orchestra. Also on the program are Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1, plus arias from Handel’s Giulio Cesare and Lehár’s Giuditta sung by soprano Ava Pine. The concert takes place at the Lensic Performing Arts Center (211 W. San Francisco St.) on Wednesday, Dec. 31, at 5 p.m., following a “family preview” open rehearsal at 2 p.m. Tickets ($27 to $100 for the concert, $10 to $25 for the family preview) are available by calling 505-988-1234 or visiting www.ticketssantafe.org. — James M. Keller

Sweeping up with Broomdust Caravan

Broomdust Caravan jams at the Cowgirl BBQ on New Year’s Eve with its signature juke-joint, honky-tonk, biker-bar rock ’n’ roll music. You can expect to hear frontman Johny Broomdust (string bass and vocals), Felecia Ford (vocals and accordion) of Hundred Year Flood and The Cherry Pickers, studio guitarist and producer Justin Lindsey (guitar), and Tree Motel’s Greg Butera (fiddle, guitar, and vocals). The Santa Fe-based group is known for its onstage improvisations and unexpected antics. The party and music start at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31, and go until midnight. The Cowgirl is at 319 S. Guadalupe St. (505-982-2565). There is no cover charge for the performance. — M.A.

Sounds of the elements: Santa Fe Pro Musica Orchestra

The Santa Fe Pro Musica Orchestra, directed by Thomas O’Connor, offers works by three kingpins of the late Baroque: George Frideric Handel, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Antonio Vivaldi. Vivaldi is represented by the Autumn and Spring concertos from The Four Seasons (featuring violinist Cármelo de los Santos). From Telemann comes the orchestral suite Water Music, also known as The Ebb and Flow of Hamburg, written in 1723 for the centennial of the College of Admiralty there; its 10 movements depict mythological topics and genre scenes relating to bodies of water. Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks also graced what was meant to be a festive celebration, the 1748 signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which brought to a provisional end the War of Austrian Succession. The festivities in London’s Green Park flopped. It rained, the fireworks were scanty, and an outdoor stage caught fire and burned to the ground — all to the accompaniment of Handel’s lovely score. Performances are at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 28, and at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 29, at St. Francis Auditorium in the New Mexico Museum of Art (107 W. Palace Ave.). Tickets ($20 to $65) are available through Tickets Santa Fe at the Lensic (505-988-1234, www.ticketssantafe.org). — J.M.K. PASATIEMPOMAGAZINE.COM

PASATIEMPO S O annual writing contest Thhe rulles for Pasatiempo’s 2014 writing contest were to keep it shhort — poems were limited d to 20 lines and d prose to 500 words — and use your imaginations. Entrants, ranging from six-year-olds to those in their nineties, wrote about lost love, illness, birth, travel, Christmas, family, history, hell, and Cormac McCarthy, among many other topics. The submissions were read and judged by writers and editors at Pasatiempo, who volunteered to get to know their fellow Santa Feans through their writing. As we read through hundreds of entries, looking for original plot lines, innovative use of language, inspired metaphors, and authenticity of emotion, it was interesting to see how different writers fit their ideas to the parameters of the contest. Some used humor, while others focused on isolated moments or let voice drive their lines and sentences. The array of approaches varied widely. We would like to thank everyone who participated. Special thanks go to the teachers and parents who guided children and teens through the writing process, to the galleries and artists who gave us permission to reproduce artwork, and to the contest sponsors: The Screen, Collected Works Bookstore, Santa Fe Bar and Grill, Garcia Street Books, the Ark Bookstore, Museum of New Mexico, Toyopolis, the Center for Contemporary Arts, Performance Santa Fe, the Lensic Performing Arts Center, and Design Warehouse.

HippieParents by Casey Haymes

The next time you’re thinking about being born, don’t pick hippies for parents. Or parents who pretend they’re hippies. None of the hippie folk are good at teaching the critical stuff like how to be a quarterback, how to win a fight, or how to start your own multinational corporation and hire an assistant who can skip sleep and type over 100 words per minute. “Hey Dad, or Mom, whoever’s not busy cleansing chakras at the moment — I can’t tell anymore — how do I earn enough money to lobby against those who do not have my best shortterm self-interests at heart?” Hippie parents like to offer those long sighs that end in smiles, as if they’ve just filtered your problem out of the room.

PASATIEMPO I December 26, 2014 -January 1, 2015

It’s a matter of success, though. Hippies couldn’t care less if their kids grow up to be successful. Or they measure it differently. They want you to eat the heartiest grains and the healthiest fats and to find true happiness in whatever you want to be. They tell you crap like, “just be.” You’re seven and you’re getting picked on by Brian McHurley and your parents tell you to forgive and “just be.” They feel sorry for the bully bastard and tell you, “Brian probably doesn’t drink organic milk, like we do. His food has hormones, and that’s why he’s so reactive. You’re better than him, Son. You should feel sorry for him.” Let’s just be clear: you’re being asked to feel sorry for the kid who has punched your arm so many times that the bruises are turning black. Your arm looks like it might fall off. And forget having fun on the weekends. Your parents grow their own food, which means the real reason you exist is to help them grow that food. You and the goats. That’s your weekend. They get so excited every time a vegetable emerges from the ground, too. “Dinner!”

“That’s not dinner, Mom; that’s a salad. That’s a speed bump.” “Don’t hurt your mother’s feelings,” your father chimes in. On and on with the feelings! How does it feel to wake up early and do manual labor on a weekend? I wish I didn’t know the answer. “Do you have any feelings about kale for dinner, Son? How are you feeling about climate change?” “Dad, I’m getting scared. I watched the news last night at my friend Tommy’s house, because his family owns a TV.” Dad sighs his lengthy sigh … The hippie parents make you pray, but they don’t let you call it prayer. “We’re transmitting our intention, Son. God doesn’t really exist; God is an exercise in communication.” “Where’s the intention going when we transmit it, Dad?” He looks at the stars, names a constellation, and asks if that’s pretty. But he’s not asking. He’s not telling you the stars are pretty, either. He’s avoiding the question.

Mr. Periwinkle was not about to move. He had his cozy little spot in the sun and he was not going to shift for anyone or anything. He shook himself to settle deeper into his comfortable spot — his eyes halfway closed, but not completely. He didn’t know what might pass his way and he didn’t want to miss anything interesting. What was that? He opened his eyes. A blowing leaf. Of no interest. His eyes began to close again. A foot twitched. This time his eyes closed all the way. He was on the edge of sleep. Asleep, he could forget his arthritic joints. He could run, climb trees, jump creeks. Even catch a crawdad along the shallow edges of the stream where the bank sloped. He missed grass. Just rolling in the grass or lying on his back staring up at the clouds, sprawled out like the disjointed fleece toy he saw Sandy, the dog, playing with — shaking it fiercely and then abandoning it like roadkill when she was called to dinner. He was suddenly jolted awake by an insistent itch at the back of his neck. After a good rigorous scratch, he settled back into his reverie. Once again his eyes slid closed, and this time he was snuggled up close against his mother. He knew he would never forget her scent. Like loam on the forest floor. Like fresh laundry tumbled into the basket, fresh from the dryer. Like sweet warm milk. Oh, this was all so good, and it called for a really good, deep stretch. How satisfying this was — back arched, legs out straight, toes curled. Now back to sleep. The sliding door to the patio opened. Mr. Periwinkle’s eyes eased open slightly. Oh, it was the tall one going out. Luckily, the door frame just missed where he lay. Then the door slid closed again. Tall one gone. But before closing his eyes, he checked the position of the sun. Had it moved, or could he still snuggle here a while longer? No, he was good. The eyes closed once again. In the winter this was his favorite morning spot. The sun at this time of year was low and came in strong and warming. There was no sun in this spot during the summer. But he had other favorite places around the house. There was the dark, quiet closet, which the tall one sometimes left open so he could slip inside. And there was that sweet spot under the desk behind the wastebasket. The tall one was often there, and it was nice to be close to him. But now? Just now, Mr. Periwinkle needed something else. Yes, time to nibble again. Too bad the canned food was not out. He would have to make do with the bowl of those dried kibbles. Oh well, it was better than nothing. He stretched once more, and wandered toward his bowls, his tail waving so elegantly behind him.

“I’ll bring the red chile,” my mother said over the phone during our daily “Buenos días les de Dios” conversation. “No, Mom,” I told her, “don’t go through the trouble.” She’s in her mid-80s. “It’s no trouble, Hijo,” she said, “I love doing it.” Later in the week she said she’d bring the sweet potatoes too. “Mom,” I said sternly. “Hijo.” she said. Hijo followed by a period means shut up. — Thanksgiving. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade is on the tube. The yard and house are tidied up. Piñon wood is blazing in the kiva. Folding tables come in from the garage, are wiped down, and draped. Candles. Extra chairs are brought in. Momanddad.Sisterandhusband.Nephew.Football.Cashewandpistachio hors d’oeuvres. Soft drinks, beer, and a nip for some of us. Lots of talk. Tradition. The day comes and goes. — Friday, we pack and take all the leftovers to Pagosa Springs for a Thanksgiving getaway at a rental home. Mom, Dad, the kids. We do regular stuff: ski at Wolf Creek, play gin rummy, board games, foosball, darts. We go to the springs — southern Colorado’s version of Ojo Caliente. All fun, all games, all-American — until the migrant stories I’d forgotten. I never thought of ourselves as a migrant family until now. “I wanted to be a Spanish translator,” my mother says, “but then I fell in love with you-know-who and got married. But I have no regrets. I have beautiful children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.” My mother is educated and wise. She went to many schools, but she says Dad has more education than anyone: “He went to eighth grade three times.” He laughs and says, “I didn’t want to do the book reports.” Mom’s preschool experience was in Terrero, New Mexico, where my grandfather worked in the mines, and my grandmother ran a boardinghouse for miners. Then they moved back to Nambé. They were poor, like most everyone else. Her father began following any work that was available. After Terrero, they moved back and forth between Nambé and mining towns in Arizona: Sonora, Superior, Globe, Claypool, and Miami. My grandparents finally settled in San Pedro, California, where there was work in the shipyards. Mom went to school at Nambé, Española, Superior, and San Pedro, and she eventually graduated from Pojoaque. She said they sometimes moved three times in a year. It was all educational. She learned to survive, to be thrifty, and to adapt quickly. — Saturday morning, I get up to make coffee. She’s already in the kitchen. She looks over and gives me a “Shhh” sign by pointing her finger over her lips. She’s already making coffee, and she has started breakfast with Thanksgiving ham, mashed-potato patties, and her red chile. “Mom.” “Hijo.” I worry about her overexertion because she contracted berylliosis while working for LANL. Dad comes out to the kitchen. “Where’s your oxygen?” he asks her. “Honey.”

The biggest pumpkin pies I’ve ever seen, two of them, arrive at my house today in the arms of my husband. Come look what I got at the casino. Lucky I’m on their special list, he says. I calculate those pies cost about a hundred dollars each in gambling losses. No matter, if they’re good, really good. After lunch we sit around the biggest pie ever and cut two slim pieces. No whipped

cream for me; I want to really taste this. He, however, chooses whipped cream, because it’s there. A sip of tea to clear the palate and warm up the taste buds. I raise the piece on my fork — right color, a little weight to it, but not too much — inhale the aroma of cinnamon spice and real pumpkin, let it slide into my mouth, and hold it on my tongue. Good. Good. Better than good. Not bad, he says. Outside, the clear blue sky is filled with a scattering of puffed clouds. Now, I can get two more tomorrow, he tells me. I’m such a good patron. (Translation: They owe me big-time for all the coins I’ve played.) We can give a big wedge to Jim and Keith (his pool buddies). And Ray and Nancy up the street, I say; too bad Justine and Mike don’t love pumpkin pie. We pause as the concept of not loving pumpkin pie floats between us. He shrugs and proceeds down the list of possible recipients for the biggest pumpkin pie ever.

A Lost Work by a Master of the Venetian School by Jay L. Clack Giovanni, your depiction of the child struggling astride his mother’s knee to climb down from her lap, all the while you plot light and symmetry, is misguided. Paint instead her concern — the visitors who keep her from the chores and from making sure the meals don’t burn. Portray how the baby is out of sorts, how he desires laughter and play — not gifts, and that he cries to touch the sheep, to chase the dogs, to build with blocks and play with ships. Capture the understanding on her face — how she comforts the babe each time he cries, why she poses with sadness in her eyes.

Hoodoos. Thin spires of rock protruding from the earth. Soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone. Bulbous caps of resistance for an underlying, delicate layer.

This microcosm against a backdrop of noonlight and big skies creates a momentary calm, turns ordinary space luminescent.

APlace of Memories by Barbara Jean Ruther

I’ll go back to Sulphur Springs. They will still be there — Papa, laced in his high-top shoes, gathering crispy-dry wood. Mama, in her Irish temper, bossing out job orders, the pitched Army tent, the smell of coffee — a handful of grounds boiled in water, bacon sizzling in an iron skillet, supported by rocks over a campfire. I’ll go back to Sulphur Springs, drink the earth’s lemon-water, lie in the worn wooden tub filled with smelly yellow liquid. “Good for achy bones,” Papa said. Let’s sit on the wood plank edging the rotten-egg foot bath, reach under the seat for a handful of caked sulphur mud to smear on our arms and faces. “It will make us beautiful,” Mama promised. I’ll go back to Sulphur Springs, sit cross-legged on the brown pine-needled ground, share buttered tortilla with chipmunks. This time I won’t be afraid of hoots and crackles in the night. I’ll hook that wriggly worm on the barb, feed him to the freckled trout. Come, let our feet go numb in the icy creek where Uncle Frank anchored watermelons to keep them cold.

Moth Song

by Zoe Viles

Can you hear the soft, fluttering song of the moth? White-winged phantom illuminated by the reflected light of the tender and generous moon, it sings: I am drawn by the too harsh light of lamp and flame. My delicate wings burn. Even the sun is too bright. I am lost in frenzied, spiral flight, hovering in delirium, without direction. But desire pushes me into the deepest darkness to pollinate the flowers of the night. There I can dance with grace. I savor perfumed nectar by the pale moonlight . Under leafy shelter I find my rest in this garden of delights.

Cigiga gaarrreeetttttteeess,s Book oookkssshhheeelllvvveeess,an s and ndSec d ecrcrreeetttss by SethWilson Isaac Gray

You have been silent for weeks now. Your bookshelf eyes have turned themselves into bookmarks and are hidden amid the words you two shared once. The words shared when air felt lighter in between lips and times when movie theaters felt like old dreams. You don’t talk with your red lips, shifting in a back-row seat to avoid attention, but his eyes will still find you. You do not notice the way he looks for you when entering the room. You choose to ignore his eyes wandering past paper skin where the past is written in secret codes not even you can decipher. You remember the way he tasted like cigarettes. You remember you hate cigarettes. When your hands brush, remember the way you never held them long. This is how you can keep any connection stuffed into shadows; locking the door he was always knocking on. Bolt the door, just in case. This house you have built around your heart will withstand the flood of knuckles and phone calls. You remember that you’re at school. You remember that you forgot to finish building your plywood castle rib cage, and that his words were flame enough to burn a hole there. Nobody can see through it but him. When the bell rings, ignore his protests to your disappearance and leave quickly. You won’t think about him in hallway traffic. You will become lost in the conversations of others, spiraling through the curse words of adolescent speech. You will not show the world how much you care about them and their insecurities. You can’t. You headphone the world into ignorance. That is how you stay safe. That is how you get out of here alive. You remember to be calm more often, or to think about yourself more often. When your mind is in another city, remind yourself how much you fought his storm-drain voice. The heavy clouds of now will take your thoughts and let them sleep on someone else’s couch. You remember a midnight car ride. You remember people singing unfamiliar music. There was dancing in the front seat. You were sitting next to him and the dim stars made the ground look purple. The hum from the car nulled you to a foreign sleep of motion. You dreamed in numbers — two hands, four eyes, one night, fifty regrets — and moved like letters do across paper in your slumber. All of those moments are irrelevant now. Every second of discovery was wasted when you stopped talking. You have been silent for weeks now. You eat less now. You are reminding yourself that most things should not be remembered, that pain should never remind you of a person.You are reminding yourself that a person should never remind you of cigarettes, or bookshelves, or secrets. All of those moments are irrelevant now. They are smoke and you are fire. Today will remind you of those bridges made of ash. You built them like that.

TenenYe n YeaeaarrrssOld s ldd by Katherine Wang

One year old: She sits dumbly on white bed sheets in a dress knit by her grandmother. It is light pink and reflects the color of her cheeks. Mama sits happily on a wooden chair snapping pictures with a silver digital camera. Three years old: Mama half forces and half guides her arms into the sleeves of a brown fur coat. Her mouth is drawn into a frown; she does not want to wear the coat. However, once she reaches the grass field with her family, she is smiling. Entranced, she watches cows, Campbell’s soup cans, and rainbow-colored fabrics float up into the sky. It is her first Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, and she is anything but disappointed. Five years old: Her ears perk up when she hears the garage door open. Instinctively, she knows that Papa is home. She runs out of the kitchen where Mama is cooking dinner to greet Papa at the door. He picks her up and spins her in a circle; both of them are laughing. Mama walks out of the kitchen and smiles, enjoying the scene. Six years old: Her hands are numb as she rolls her final snowball. Once the head is attached, she realizes it is disproportionate to the rest of the body; it is too small. Mama laughs goodhumoredly at the sight of the snowman covered in patches of dirt and grass with one arm shorter than the other. She places a hat on the snowman’s head before she allows Mama to take a picture. Seven years old: She sits on the concrete floor of the garage and stares at the falling snowflakes as she empties sand into brown bags. Mama is sitting beside her, placing yellow candles into the sand. When the sun sinks below the horizon, Papa guides her down the driveway to light the candles. Mama is inside making hot cocoa. The next morning, Papa finds a snake in one of the bags. She heads outside to take a look herself. Nine years old: She thinks of her teddy-bear collection display on the stand next to her bed. This bear, she knows, will be the perfect addition to the family. Mama pays the cashier eight dollars. She hugs the bear all the way home and tells Mama that this one is her favorite. She tells Mama this every time she gets a new bear. Ten years old: For some reason, a lot can happen in a year. She does not understand it.“Where has Mama gone?”she asks.“Somewhere better”is all Papa replies. “Why didn’t she take me?”she asks. Papa does not answer but leaves to“go run an errand.” He is always running errands these days. She soon understands where Mama has gone; she understands why the garage is half empty, why the neighbors are always coming to see her. She takes Mama’s scrapbook out from under her bed and turns to page one: “One year old.” Katherine Wang is a junior at Los Alamos High School.

TheheCoy e oyo yoottteeTra e raiaiill by Tyler Gonzales

The creaking of the door hinge accosts the atmosphere. Sunlight strains my eyes, blasting my sight with a wall of white. Clink, the door locks shut behind me, and the world fills with color. Dust twirls past my path, bringing with it a coolness to contrast the sun; a sun that glares burning back at me with the heat of one million green chilies. Dust trickles against my skin, a small comfort, a distraction to keep my mind from the heat. I head north toward the arroyo: alone, I leave the paved road and enter the tame wilderness. A dirt trail leads me to the heart of the arroyo, where the water flows. Weeds and cacti that are synonymous with the Wild West sprawl the open land. Beaten to submission, nature remains in domination; steel and concrete surrounds her, nature is our dying slave. We shove plastic down her throat and force her to accept our unsustainable habits.

At the trough I turn left. The arroyo is dry this time of year. Crunching glass under my shoe brings movement to the steady hum of the abrasive wind against the leaves. Bags containing items of little value and trash adorn the landscape subtly. Tires and couches carelessly occupy the terrain; a whole communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trash ignorantly dumped. I wonder what beauty the world used to hold. What hills my great-great-grandparents took for granted. Where animals once could freely walk from the hills to the mountains; now they were confined to the arroyos, the path I walk, the trail I love. My feet freeze to the sand that parts with my step. Light brown fur, pointy ears, and brown eyes gaze back at me. The coyote went back about his business, as did I. We both walked forward, heading in opposite directions. Passing each other, I now look down at the coyote four feet to my left, and he looks back. We nod in acceptance and continue on our separate paths. The dirt path abruptly turns to pavement. As I walk, houses become visible; blemishes to the beauty of the high-desert region. Clouds capture my eye as I approach the asphalt scars that found civilization. I stop to appreciate the sky; the sun sparks awe right before a large pickup barrels past, leaving me in a cloud of my own pollution. I hold my breath to exclude the smog; I cross the road and continue down the sidewalk. Walls of stucco and drywall imitate adobe. Synthetic houses surround me while I progress to the chainlink fence that fails to keep anyone out of the park. Now I clutch the metal wire that composes the fence and launch myself over the wall. I lie on the chill grass beneath a tree that overlooks the rest of the field. Tyler Gonzales is in the 12th grade at Capital High School.

A Notebook of Snowflakes by Julianna Tibbetts

The sound of a tree pecking at a crisp window hit the eardrum of a little girl. She abruptly woke from her peaceful slumber and looked out her window. A white blanket of snow pampered the soft earth. The image was mesmerizing, and her eyes opened up with a glimmer of ambition and determination, as she couldn’t hold herself any longer to stay inside. She jumped out of bed and felt the tingly feeling of rough carpet on her feet. With a swift motion she grabbed her jacket and ran outside. A rush of cool air skyrocketed up her little nostrils, almost as if a sense of comfort absorbed into her soul. Winter is the girl’s favorite season. She especially loves the tiniest element of this weather, snowflakes. Each one has a different pattern and relates to her life in some way. She orderly tried to name each one after someone she loved or truly cared about. While doing this, she anxiously took out her notepad that she always carried around with her, and drew each snowflake the best she could. The snowflakes held a symbolic meaning to her because she believes that snowflakes only come once a year for a specific reason. Snowflakes naturally fall softly on their journey to earth. If it’s not cold enough, the snowflake vanishes into the ground. Once more snowflakes progressively fall, they build up on each other, and create something beautiful, which is, overall, winter. The girl relates to the snowflakes as being the people who she loves and cares about. Not all of them live long, but the ones that do help each other build a beautiful, meaningful life. Experiencing this event in nature gives the girl hope that not everything is warm and simple all the time. Sometimes there needs to be a little coldness to build something magnificent.

Fruity morsel, clinging to your bush Groping for a hold on this gray slope of hard cloud Blushing with your friends, red on the whispers of twigs Red spots of joy in green all around Shying away from a cool breeze of wood and leaf Bright wisp of color, so overlooked Small, tart star in a universe of dark malachite forest There must be something in the long hard wait that makes you stay And sleep In the down feathers of winter And awaken under the grass sheets of spring Bright points of light, shining red in the vanishing white A dying season — your beginning — only a few weeks Holding a grand party, inviting everyone to a tart, scarlet banquet You provide the main course, serving nourishment in sweet goblets Waiting for all to come Anxiously waiting They come gradually, drink your luscious juice, eat your candied nourishment From your sweet goblets you feed your guests, all who come Bears, coyotes, juncos, finches, sparrows, grasshoppers, moths, me Ulysses Yarbrough is a seventh-grade student at Santa Fe Preparatory School.

I’ve wanted to paint him so many times. My friend was lucky enough to take a blurry photo. Forever, I want to stare at that man, who gruffly sings “Sweet Annie in the Green Briar” As he nibbles on lavender leaves And fishes for a cigar in his rotting, olive green jacket. Plumes of charcoal smoke and dotted quail embody his being, but, mostly, his hat. His gnarled, wiry, silver feather beard winks Down at his wet coral socks and punctured military boots. I’ve wanted to paint him so many times. But every time I look at him, his dirt-encrusted fingernails, classic khaki teardrops, And canyon-crinkled paper bag that engulf his whiskey and dreams, But every time I look at him, his coffee-stained asparagus smile and field poppy tie, His full eyes glower back into mine. And I pull away or walk a little faster. I’ve wanted to paint him so many times. I hope someone out there is more Valiant than I. I hope someone out there can paint: can really paint That Shivering, Weather-Beaten, Omitted Man on an iron park bench And try not to cry. Elizabeth Sanchez, seventeen, attends Santa Fe High School.

To visit Love simply walk through the sunflower jungle. Don’t worry, the bees won’t sting and there is no path to lose. When you reach the glen, Love will be waiting outside her thatched-roof cottage. When she hears the quiet echo of your footsteps upon the soft earth, she will turn her head and smile and invite you in for tea and icebox lemon pie. She will offer you the worn purple armchair and take the stool herself. She will not interrupt to ask how you take your tea; she already knows. When it is time for you to go, Love will lend you her old red bicycle for she understands you are in a hurry. Katie Delgado is in the 10th grade at Los Alamos High School.

The Land Above by Phoebe Kiffin

A tour of the sky. That’s what it was; floating like I could fly. Like a bird released from a cage. I felt alone. Like an all blue world with only me. The other passengers were there, but I was alone in the crowd. It was me and the sky. I always liked it when hot air balloons flew over me. This time I was the one flying over everything. Everything looked like it came from a dollhouse catalog. Some parts of the city were so tiny you could barely see them. I am as small as an ant, and the world is as big as a giant. When I am in the hot air balloon it makes me feel like I’m big, yet as I look on the world from above, I feel like the smallest person in the world. The sky is a whole other world for me to explore. At one point the balloon tour guide took us close to the ground. It was very frightening, yet I mostly live on the ground. Humans sadly don’t have wings. We were built to live on the ground. While I was up in the hot air balloon, I felt nervous that the balloon would crash to the ground or into telephone poles or the red Rio Grande River, that looked as if it were blood. It felt as if my heart had frozen like the coldest ice, and I had a huge shock of fear. The danger of death was near. I know it is a rare thing to crash a hot air balloon, but I worry when I don’t have to. There is nothing to worry about when you are up there. All my worries fly way, and I finally felt safe.

TechnoGirl by Sara Hill

Jessica celebrated her 16th birthday today. Her dad handed her a pink box tied with a white ribbon on it. Once she opened it, there she saw the iPhone 6. Jessica gave her dad a hug. Her mom took pictures. Jessica had her dad download apps such as Instagram, Twitter, Vine, Kik, Facebook, etc. Afterward, Jessica went upstairs, locked her room, and played on her phone. That night she wrote a list to remind her to get her classmates’, friends’, and her boyfriend’s numbers. The next day at school during gym, Jessica asked to go to the bathroom. The gym teacher excused her. In the bathroom, Jessica took selfies and posted some of them on Instagram. When she got back, the gym teacher asked why it took her 15 minutes to use the restroom. Jessica lied to him. She told him that she had to help the principal with a few things. So he believed her. She was happy that she wasn’t caught. When school ended, Jessica got her classmates’ numbers. She texted as many people she could. Then she went to her boyfriend’s house to go over homework. Both of them sat in the living room and did their math. For three hours, Jessica would get a text every 10 minutes. Instead of working on homework with her boyfriend, she texted either a classmate back or a friend. Her boyfriend got frustrated since she paid more attention to the phone than him. When she got back home, she avoided her biology and English homework. For months, Jessica spent her nights without eating dinner, preferring to stay up by texting, posting images, and playing on her phone. This affected her grade so badly that she wasn’t able to make it up. Sometimes, at night, she’d text her old friends and gossip about her new friends. One night, Jessica and her friends went out shopping for clothes. While they were shopping, Jessica left her phone on the table. Jessica’s friends looked through her texts. One of her friends whispered to the other friends that Jessica was faking to be friends with them. All of them gasped and felt betrayed. They decided to not be friends with her anymore. They also told Jessica’s boyfriend that she was secretly dating a guy named James Pearson. After the drama, Jessica felt miserable and alone. She also made promises to herself, good ones. The most important one was not to use the phone to hurt anyone’s feelings behind their back. She also promised to think before sending a rude message to a friend or a family member. Sara Hill is in the seventh grade at the Santa Fe School for the Arts & Sciences.

MyDad add by Sofia Lee

My dad used to live with me in Santa Fe, but now he lives in Atlanta, Georgia. My dad is like a giraffe because he is tall. He’s forty-five, and he loves anime, people, and golfing. He remarried in Atlanta one year later after he divorced with my mom. We liked to play golf together. He actually really liked the cold weather. In the winter, we always went sledding in the Sangre de Cristo mountains and ate bizcochitos. When we couldn’t go, we made snowmen and forts at home. Our relationship was pretty close. We call each other to stay in contact now. My dad had a problem when he was here. He had to close down a small shop in Pojoaque. Because of that, he had migraines and depression. His old job was running a liquor store. It was not busy because it was really small and dark. It was also kind of hidden by trees and vines. After he lost his business, he had a very hard time to find a job in Santa Fe. That changed in Atlanta. He found a job in a tall building. I heard that he works on the eighth floor. The job is to run errands and work in an office. He would have meetings with people if they had problems with taxes. Now he can raise a good family. He can have great winters with his son and feed his family. I also heard that he has fewer migraines. I am happy for my dad now that he has a job. My dad would be able to maybe visit me soon. Sofia Lee, ten years old, is in the fifth grade at Piñon Elementary School in Los Alamos.

Even though I am twelve years old, a lot has happened in my life. I have lived in two different countries very far from each other: Pakistan and the U.S. One thing that was very frightening happened to me while I was living in Swat, Pakistan, where the Taliban were fighting. The army told our family that we had to leave. When we were leaving we had to walk 50 miles and cross a large river with a strong current. The Taliban helped my family to cross the river, but it was frightening because the Pakistan army were in the helicopters above us. We thought they might start shooting, and we would be killed. Another thing we were so scared about was losing my grandma’s mom. We couldn’t leave her, but she was safe. We spent a year without our home. We had a good time in Islamabad, but we missed our home. We didn’t go to school for year. When we came back home, our house was broken and messed up from the bomb, but we rebuilt the room. And a lot of people in our town died. We found out our loved ones were gone. There is a lot to tell, but power and politics will not like it. Sadaf Khan, twelve, is a student at Capshaw Middle School.

Flamenco, Flamenco, documentary, not rated, Jean Cocteau Cinema, 3 chiles The camera tilts down from the graceful arching girders of Seville’s Expo ’92 pavilion into an assembled gallery of huge poster-sized blowups of art, mostly featuring women, mostly Spanish themes and artists, mostly flamencooriented. We move through them, and up onto a hardwood dance floor. We are in the hands of eighty-two-year-old master filmmaker and connoisseur of Spanish dance Carlos Saura, and his frequent collaborator, the legendary Italian cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, whose name is as fluid as his Oscar-winning camerawork (The Last Emperor). And we are on our way to see and hear flamenco, the classic Spanish musical form that has been documented since the 18th century. There is no narrative, there is no dialogue, no voice-over, no subtitles, only titles identifying the performers and the numbers. When they sing, the words are left untranslated, but if you are not fluent in Spanish, you needn’t worry about missing their meaning. Every word, every ululating cry is ripped from the gut, torn from the heart, lifted by powerful voices rasping with emotion. And when they dance, they hit the hard floor with hammering heels, battering out staccato rhythms like bursts of automatic weapons. Sometimes the setting is as simple as a rude table, with three men sitting around it, tapping out the time with their hands as one of them sings. Sometimes there is a color-drenched projection behind the performers, sometimes a bare stage. There’s even a rainstorm. Some of the dancers and singers are in street clothes, many are costumed. The color red dominates. They are old, and they are young. They are aging legends, and new rising talents. They are dancers, and singers, and instrumental virtuosi. They are men, and they are women, and this is what the flamenco form seems to emphasize — the power and the passion of the male and the female. Saura presents the musical numbers, without comment, one after the other, 21 of them, and much of the program is steeped in the anguished melancholy of love lost, but then, when you’re not expecting it, some joy creeps in — some fun, a few sly smiles — and you realize this is an idiom that celebrates love’s exuberance as well as its agony. And even the pain is there to be relished. Some of the artists will be familiar to aficionados of the genre, singers like Carlos García and Maria Ángeles Fernández, dancers like Eva Yerbabuena, Sara Baras, and Israel Galván. The seventy-seven-year-old legend María Bala, sister of the great singer Manuel Soto Sordera, makes her final recorded appearance here before her death this past March. Saura knows his way around a dance floor. His 1998 Tango was nominated for an Oscar, and a few years before that he made a documentary called Flamenco. This time he’s doubled the stakes with Flamenco, Flamenco. If you don’t like flamenco, this will give you twice the incentive to stay away. If you don’t know flamenco, this will be a baptism of fire, and by the time you leave you’ll know whether you like it or not. And if you love flamenco, happy holidays! — Jonathan Richards

The world is dark and wild: James Corden and Meryl Streep

Grimm magic Into the Woods, musical, rated PG, Regal Stadium 14, 3.5 chiles The musicals of Stephen Sondheim are such creatures of the theater that one fears what may happen when Hollywood sinks its talons into them. When Rob Marshall, who previously directed screen versions of such musicals as Chicago and Nine, broached the idea of a stage-to-screen adaptation with Sondheim, the composer-lyricist suggested Into the Woods as worth contemplating. It is probably the most performed of Sondheim musicals, its fairy-tale plot making it a standard of youth theaters, where it is often given in an author-sanctioned “junior version” that shears off the psychologically disturbing second act. Marshall’s new film, offered by Walt Disney Pictures, does not take that castrating approach but rather offers the work in essentially complete form. It is what the show was meant to be: an exploration of how eternal truths compressed into children’s tales are just the starting point when people begin to wend their way into the woods of adult life, tracing their individual routes from paths they inherited from their parents. Notwithstanding its storybook setting peopled by Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and the rest, the show raises deep questions about expectations, disappointments, and the costs of the examined life. The Disney studio can handle that. What it apparently finds frightening is that the piece is a musical, a point it downplays into near-extinction in its trailer, which is almost entirely limited to spoken dialogue. Make no mistake: Into the Woods is very much a musical film, practically a throughcomposed opera. Fortunately, every member of the terrific cast is capable of putting across songs and ensembles effectively. All bring subtlety and specificity to their interpretations. Meryl Streep is at the center of the action as a witch who is also an overprotective mother. Her explosive entrance sets the hurdle high, but her interpretation of this complex role never flags, reaching its powerful apex in her song “Stay With Me.” Johnny Depp gets creepy as the Wolf who salivates over Red Riding Hood, teen actress Lilla Crawford. She replaced the ten-year-old originally cast in that part to avoid uncomfortably pedophilic undertones, which may have been lessened but still remain. The movie gets full Disney treatment, filled with magical fantasy and visual energy, but I’m not sure who its market will be. At the general-audience preview I attended, some gentlemen rebelled upon realizing that their girlfriends had dragged them to (gasp!) a musical, and many children lost interest in the course of the two-plus hours. Actual grown-ups, however, should find it engrossing and enriching. — James M. Keller

shoots photographs, including tender, intimate portraits of secular and monastic life in India and Tibet. But the story of his journey from a life of privilege is complicated by the fact that he still lives a life of privilege, of sorts, and has had honors bestowed on him by the Dalai Lama. Affable and charitable as he is, he has maintained a worldly attachment to his art form, which is at odds with his spiritual practice — something that is not sufficiently explored here.

The Interview, at Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe; cartoon by Jonathan Richards

opening this week DYING TO KNOW Gay Dillingham’s profound, uplifting documentary takes us on a journey to that border no fence keep from crossing. Our guides to this frontier can us two are those irrepressible icons of drugs and enlightformer enment, Harvard professors Timothy Leary and Ram Dass. The centerpiece of the movie is her lovingly filmed 1996 reunion of the two men as Leary was facing death from cancer. Dillingham explores the lives that brought them to this point, and Ram Dass’ subsequent battle with the effects of a devastating stroke. Local figures like Joan Halifax and Joanna Harcourt-Smith are among those interviewed, and there’s a nicely unobtrusive narration voiced by Robert Redford. Dillingham appears at the 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 27, screening. Not rated. 95 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) FLAMENCO, FLAMENCO There is no narrative, no dialogue, no voice-over, no subtitles — only title cards identifying the performers and the numbers.

rasping with emotion. And when they dance, they hit the floor with hammering heels, battering out staccato rhythms like bursts of automatic weapons. We are in the hands of Carlos Saura, master filmmaker and connoisseur of Spanish dance, and his frequent collaborator, the great Italian cinematographer Vittorio Storaro. If you love flamenco, happy holidays! Not rated. 97 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) See review, Page 46. THE INTERVIEW The most talked-about movie this holiday season is The Interview, a comedy in which Seth Rogen and James Franco play bumbling journalists assigned to kill North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. In the wake of its release, North Korea allegedly hacked into Sony’s emails and promised terror threats on theaters that showed the film. A huge kerfuffle ensued, and the film was pulled. Now it’s back, and questions remain. Were the threats serious? Was it all a glorified publicity stunt? Is this really a first-amendment issue? And, most important, is the movie any good? Find out at George R.R. Martin’s Jean Cocteau Cinema. Rated R. 112 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) MONK WITH A CAMERA Swiss-born photographer Nicholas Vreeland, grandson of fashion editor Diana Vreeland, left his cushy, upscale life behind to seek the simplicity of a monk’s life at the Rato Dratsang monastery in India.

TOUCH OF EVIL Just a touch? Why so modest? Orson Welles is pure evil in this classic noir thriller, which showcases him as screenwriter, director, and star of a border tale drenched in sleaze, corruption, betrayal, and murder. Released in 1958 in a bastardized studio cut that Welles disowned, it was restored 30 years later, in conformity with a rediscovered 58-page memo of Welles’ instructions, with 18 minutes of footage added and key editing changes. The film opens with a brilliant three-minute suspense-filled tracking-shot sequence, and never lets up. A bloated Welles plays Hank Quinlan, a bad cop with a menacing glare and a bum leg. He’s joined by a stellar cast that includes Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Marlene Dietrich, Dennis Weaver, and several of the director’s old Citizen Kane gang. One of the essentials. Rated PG-13. 111 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Jonathan Richards)

now in theaters ANNIE Back in 1998, rapper Jay Z had a smash hit with “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem),” a song that sampled the number from Annie. Now the whole musical gets an African American makeover, with Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) as the titular orphan and Jamie Foxx as the modern Daddy Warbucks (now a cold-hearted politician named Will Stacks). Rated PG. 118 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) ANTARCTICA: A YEAR ON ICE Living at the bottom of the world — including months of total darkness, raging winds, sub-zero temperatures, and the stupendously gorgeous aurora australis — is an adventure experienced by only a small group of people. Filmmaker Anthony Powell treats us to a multidimensional immersion in the landscape and with the residents of Scott Base and McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Rated PG. 91 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Paul Weideman)

THE BABADOOK Amelia (Essie Davis), a single mother, increasingly finds herself in a state of fear after a children’s pop-up “Mister book, Babadook,” inexplicably shows up in her young son Samuel’s (Noah Wiseman) bedroom. Full of frightening images by illustrator Alex Juhasz, the book insidiously pervades their lives. Director Jennifer Kent’s horror from Down Under pulls no punches in its portrayal of a mother and son walking the knife-edge between real and imagined terrors. The film’s visual style and its themes of child neglect, grief, and loss elevate it above the standard fare, making this one of the most original horror offerings in recent years. Not rated. 93 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco)

searing, hilarious, sometimes unsettling backstage satire, Michael Keaton tosses his hat into the Oscar ring with his brilliant dissection of a movie star, in artistic eclipse in the years since he sold his soul to play a masked comic-book superhero, looking for redemption on the Broadway stage. Packed with a terrific supporting cast headed by Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, and Emma Stone and shot in a simulated single take by the great Emmanuel Lubezki, Birdman crackles with wit, self-referential allusions, fantasy, and penetrating insights about show business, relevance, and the modern world. Iñárritu, sloughing off the ponderous artiness of his recent movies, makes magic here. Rated R. 119 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards)

THE BETTER ANGELS What was Abe Lincoln’s boyhood like? If writer-director A.J. Edwards has it right, it was slow, rustic, brooding, occasionally joyful, mostly silent, and harsh, accompanied by dreamy, funereal music. Edwards is the protégé of Terence Malick — who once thought of directing this film and is a producer — and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. A lot of the imagery is pure Malick; when it holds still, the crisp black-andwhite cinematography by Matthew J. Lloyd can be beautiful. Edwards’ approach gives a flavor of backwoods life in the early 19th century, but it doesn’t really explore what made Abe tick. Not rated. 95 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards)

CITIZENFOUR This documentary should be required viewing, whichever side of the Edward Snowden patriot/ traitor bias you fall on. Laura Poitras, the director contacted by Snowden to break his story, presents only one side here, but it’s a compelling brief that asks what constitutional freedoms we’re willing to surrender for security. Poitras pads her film with some sleepy footage of Snowden sitting in his hotel room, but there’s plenty of meat. Rated R. 114 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards)

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES The story of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) concludes with a battle that makes this film feel like the third act to the prior movie rather than a stand-alone feature in its own right. Dwarves, elves, orcs, men, trolls, goblins, wizards, eagles, giant worms, and one hobbit collide in what seems like a two-hour fantasy version of the big melee in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. It’s impressive, but exhausting, which, at this point is pretty much true of Jackson’s whole foray into Middle Earth. Some cool special effects and set pieces, along with admirably Shakespearean acting, can’t obscure the fact that it’s all gotten a bit long in the tooth. Rated PG-13. 144 minutes. Screens in 3-D and 2-D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker)

EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS Ridley Scott goes biblical with this retelling of the story of Moses (played here by Christian Bale), who leads the slaves in a revolt against Pharaoh Ramses ( Joel Edgerton). Aaron Paul, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, and John Turturro also star, but the main attraction for many will no doubt be those clashing armies and parting sea waters. Rated PG-13. 150 minutes. Screens in 3-D and 2-D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. Screens in 2-D only at DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed)

THE HOMESMAN Tommy Lee Jones directed, co-wrote, and stars in this story of an independent woman (Hilary Swank) who teams up with a likable rascal (Jones) to guide three insane women from the wilds of the Nevada Territory to the safety of the East in the mid-19th century. It’s an intriguing, haunting tale that pays homage to the pioneers who shaped the land. Rated R. 122 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Robert Nott)

FOXCATCHER Why did wealthy Du Pont heir John Eleuthère du Pont (Steve Carell) become fascinated with the USA Olympic wrestling team in the 1980s and ’90s, turning his home into a massive training center? Was it because he was lonely? Was it to spite his mother? Was it to feel more like a man? Or was he simply the patriot and philanthropist he saw himself as? That question lies underneath this film by Bennett Miller (Capote), which covers the years before du Pont abruptly murdered one of his coaches in 1996. Despite sharp writing, evocative photography, and nice directorial flourishes, Foxcatcher never quite gains enough purpose to justify its mannered pace or overcome Carell’s unnecessary and distracting makeup. Carell and Channing Tatum (as the star wrestler) are both terrific, but the gold medal goes to Mark Ruffalo for his fabulous, transformative performance as the doomed coach. Rated R. 134 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Robert Ker)

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY - PART 1 The studio behind the Hunger Games franchise has split the film adaptation of the final book into two parts to keep the money train rolling. This time, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is talking ’bout a revolution. Rated PG-13. 123 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed)

BIG EYES Tim Burton ditches the over-the-top whimsy for the first time since 1994’s Ed Wood with this tale about Margaret Keane (Amy Adams), the woman who painted those portraits of sad, big-eyed children that became popular in the 1950s and ’60s. The film focuses on her marriage to Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), who claimed credit for her work and hoarded the fame until she fought back. Rated PG-13. 105 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Not reviewed) BIG HERO 6 This animated film from Disney (loosely based on a Marvel comic) emphasizes hard work, the pursuit of science, the strength of friends, and the ability to handle setbacks — all while telling a superhero tale that’s full of heart and humor. Hiro (Ryan Potter), a boy who lives in a city that’s a hybrid of Tokyo and San Francisco, adopts an inflatable robot named Baymax from his big brother. Tragedy strikes, which pushes the pair into a mystery so challenging that they enlist five friends to join them. Rated PG. 102 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE) In Alejandro González Iñárritu’s

THE GAMBLER Mark Wahlberg plays the title role in this remake of the 1974 James Caan vehicle of the same name. He’s a literature professor with a gambling addiction who gets in with some bad people and borrows a lot of money to get away from them. John Goodman and Jessica Lange co-star. Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) directs. Rated R. 111 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed)

THE IMITATION GAME This very entertaining movie could have been a lot more. Director Morten Tyldum and screenwriter Graham Moore have taken the engrossing story of Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), the British war hero, computer pioneer, and homosexual martyr, and fit it into the familiar confines of a biopic stocked with Movie Moments, which never convince us that things really happened the way the film depicts them. continued on Page 52

The main event is the wartime assault on Enigma, the Nazi encrypting machine whose codes Turing invented a computer to crack. All the acting is terrific, and Cumberbatch plays the brilliant, socially clueless scientist with a mercurial doggedness that will land him on Oscar’s short list. Rated PG-13. 114 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) INTERSTELLAR Christopher Nolan’s space epic is one of the silliest movies ever made, but it has an odd majesty. It’s filled with hokum earnest and riddled with theoreticalphysics chatter, most of which can’t be understood because Hans Zimmer’s raging score and the thundering sound effects are in a perpetual death struggle with the (mostly mumbled) dialogue. On a theoretical-physics level, it’s all about relativity and the oddity that time proceeds more slowly when you’re hurtling through space than when you’re back on the farm. On an emotional level, it’s about father-daughter bonds and the power of love. Rated PG-13. 168 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) INTO THE WOODS Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods, a musical about psychological self-discovery, gets Disneyfied (though tastefully) under Rob Marshall’s smart, sensitive direction. Top-drawer performances, with better singing than you might anticipate, come from Meryl Streep (Witch), Johnny Depp (Wolf), Anna Kendrick (Cinderella), Tracey Ullman (Jack’s Mother), and a constellation of supporting players. The score and dialogue remain largely intact, making this a must-see for Sondheimites. Selling a brainiac movie musical to a general audience may prove difficult, but serious theater aficionados should not write this off just because it’s from Disney. Rated PG. 126 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. (James M. Keller) See review, Page 48.

mockingbird. Begun in 1948, director Paul Grimault’s celebrated fantasy is a dreamlike fairy tale. The animation is filled with nods to famous French art and such anachronisms as medieval castles amid modern skyscrapers and futuristic mechanical inventions. Its style recalls the Disney classics of the ’30s and ’40s. Not rated. 83 minutes. In French with subtitles. Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco) NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: SECRET OF THE TOMB It’s not likely many people were calling for a third Night at the Museum film, but the whole gang is nonetheless back: Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, Ricky Gervais, and many more. It seems as if the production team took so long finding room in all the actors’ schedules that they forgot to write a script and did what the makers of any tired franchise do: concoct a lame excuse to move the whole thing overseas (to London). Dan Stevens shows his goofy side after years as Downton Abbey’s Matthew, playing Lancelot in a role that is somehow both a lead and an afterthought. Robin Williams once more appears as Teddy Roosevelt in one of his final roles. Alas, this role has never given him much to do. Rated PG. 97 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR This animated comedy opens with a March of the Penguins spoof that includes Werner Herzog uttering the line, “Look at them, tumbling onto their chubby bum-bums.” Miraculously, that isn’t the only funny part of the movie. The Madagascar series is mired in dumb jokes and cheap-looking animation, but this spinoff mostly shines, as the four central penguins get into a brisk, funny, spy-movie-like battle with an evil octopus. I attended as a dutiful parent bracing himself for the worst; by the time I got off my bum-bum, I had enjoyed myself. Rated PG. 92 minutes. Screens in 2-D only at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING A movie about Stephen Hawking ought to be bursting with ideas. What director James Marsh has come up with is a nicely crafted, watchable, but conventionally structured romantic biopic. It has, however, one extraordinary feature that lifts it above the level of Lifetime entertainment: Eddie Redmayne is brilliant in his transformation into the gnarled, twisted physical wreck of the Hawking we know, body confined to a wheelchair, voice produced by a machine, mind soaring through time and space. What we miss is the excitement of Hawking’s mind. Rated PG-13. 123 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) TOP FIVE Chris Rock gets his Woody Allen on, writing, directing, and starring in this talky, New York-centric rom-com about a

world-famous comedian (Rock) who is trying to stay sober, break into drama, and cope with the public nature of his relationship with a reality star (Gabrielle Union). The whole story, staged around an interview with a journalist (Rosario Dawson), generally alternates between funny and flat. It doesn’t always work, but it’s heartfelt, and you come away hoping that Rock gets the chance to make a few more films in a similar style. Rated R. 102 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Robert Ker) 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY Few science fiction films have had the impact of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 epic space journey. From its opening sequence, set at the dawn of humankind, which transitions in a celebrated shot to a distant future, the Kubrick-andArthur C. Clarke-penned opus sets the standard for the genre — and has never been equaled. Kubrick’s taut, claustrophobic film boasts breathtaking special effects by Douglas Trumbull, a memorable classical score, and realistic depictions of life in space that trump most of the sci-fi that followed. Its themes of the origins of human intelligence and the ultimate fate of human existence still resonate. Rated G. 160 minutes. The Screen, Santa Fe. (Michael Abatemarco) UNBROKEN Angelina Jolie gets back in the director’s chair to tell the true story of Louis Zamperini ( Jack O’Connell), the Olympic runner who survived a plane crash in World War II, 47 days on a life raft, and more than two years of abusive treatment in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps. Rated PG-13. 137 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) WILD In 1995, inexperienced hiker and camper Cheryl Strayed strapped on a backpack and covered 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. Her memoir recounting that trek became a bestseller in 2012. This moving, ruggedly beautiful adaptation of her book — directed by JeanMarc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club), with a screenplay by Nick Hornby, and starring Reese Witherspoon — seems destined for similar success. Vallée and cinematographer Yves Bélanger capture scenery and settings with deft camerawork. The storytelling is honest, vivid, and nonjudgmental. Rated R. 115 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe.

Soup’s on!

]

The Short Order Nothing hits the spot during the winter more than a steaming bowl of soup. Back Street Bistro’s David Jacoby has hundreds in his recipe box and makes eight of them every day. You may not swoon over the furnishings, but the soup will make your tummy comfortably warm and full. If you still have the appetite, the deli-style sandwiches are just like the ones you might get in Manhattan. And the prices are fair all around. Recommended: Hungarian mushroom soup, green chile corn chowder, and pastrami on rye.

Ratings range from 1 to 5 chiles, including half chiles. This reflects the reviewer’s experience with regard to food and drink, atmosphere, service, and value. 5 = flawless 4 1/2 = extraordinary 4 = excellent 3 1/2 = very good 3 = good 2 1/2 = average 2 = fair 1 1/2 = questionable 1 = poor

Mention Back Street Bistro to a friend, and you’ll often hear “Oh, I haven’t been there for ages, but I love the mushroom soup.” Since 1996, the lunch-only restaurant has been located in a nondescript prefab building on Camino de los Marquez, off Don Diego Avenue. You know you’re close when you see the bumper-to-bumper cars parked along the road. It’s popular. Maybe that’s the reason some people say they haven’t been in a while. There’s often a wait — usually short — for a table. The ambience is that of a middle-school lunchroom (except there’s no throwing of food). But, oh, the soup. It’s delicious, especially the Hungarian mushroom, which is always on the menu. One online commenter called it “to dieeeeeeeeee for!” Another said it’s an “instant hangover cure, wonderful flu remedy, and can probably revive your dead grandma.” Praise indeed. In fact, the mushroom soup is so popular that if you ask what the ingredients are, a waiter will bring you a photocopy of the recipe. In case you’re wondering, it includes fresh mushrooms, onion, butter, flour, milk, dill weed, Hungarian paprika, tamari, salt, pepper, stock, lemon juice, parsley, and sour cream. One of the two guests sitting nearby on a recent visit ordered squash soup, found it a little too bland, sent it back, and ordered the mushroom. His dining partner said he comes once a week for the stuff, and left with the recipe. My companion, looking for something light, opted for the Santa Fe onion, which had a bit of a kick. Don’t think French onion soup here. This version features chile, a flavorful broth, and not so many onions. Another winner is the green chile corn chowder, which has just the right amount of milky heat. The New England clam chowder is classic, with sweet, juicy clams and small cubes of potatoes — comfort food at its best. Owner David Jacoby, sometimes called the Duke of Soup, said he has hundreds of soups in his repertoire and presents eight of them daily. Other recent options included matzo ball, red lentil, white bean and ham, smoked turkey, turkey barley, and mulligatawny. There’s also almost always a vegan choice. As a thoughtful touch, different colors are used on the soup board (and online) to identify those with cream or meat and those that are chilled, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free. The cup is a generous serving — and, for a couple of dollars more, you can have a bowl. The baguette slices that come with each soup order arrive at the restaurant parbaked and frozen, and then they’re finished off in Back Street’s own ovens. The bistro is also known for its New York-style sandwiches. It serves the finest corned beef and pastrami. The former comes from Grobbel’s, a Detroit company that has been in operation since 1883. Jacoby trims and cooks the meat on-site, slices it thinly, and stacks it on soft rye

PASATIEMPO I December 26, 2014 -January 1, 2015

bread from Rotella’s, an Italian bakery in Omaha. A little Gulden’s mustard is smeared on the bread. Sandwiches can be made with gluten-free bread as well. They are served with a choice of potato or macaroni salad, coleslaw, chips, or fresh fruit, and a dill pickle — even with a half sandwich. The menu also includes standard sandwiches and salads. But what Back Street Bistro is all about is the soup. OK, and maybe some desserts. Regulars love the carrot cake and Key lime pie. Jacoby is almost always in the kitchen, along with three cooks — perhaps an extra one this time of year, when the place is at its busiest. Despite the rush, the bistro’s servers and staff are unfailingly friendly and polite. The tables, filled mostly with locals, turn over fast. “It feels like I have to get back to class,” said my lunch companion. Jacoby doesn’t take credit cards, a policy that irks some out-of-towners, although most Santa Feans know to bring cash or checks. He sometimes even takes IOUs for the money (“Most of the time, I get it,” he said). The reason? “It costs too much, and it’s a headache.” Nor does Jacoby think about opening for dinner. “I feel I would have to have a different menu, and I can’t do that kind of cooking,” he said. Also, he would have to turn on the oven hood at night, which would make the space cold and drafty. And that doesn’t work with soup — or with anything, really. ◀
