AMERICAN FICTION (2023) Grade: B-

The satire was hilarious. Casting was perfect. #SterlingKBrown stole the film. Can't decide if I liked the ending or loved it.

STS9 Take Brooklyn Steel on a Voyage on Friday

STS9 – Brooklyn Steel – September 13, 2023

When they still went by the full name Sound Tribe Sector 9, what the band did was right there in their moniker: sonic voyages that get way out there and most certainly beyond, thanks to a delectably competent blend of space rock, jam-band jazz, electronic music, drum ’n’ bass, psychedelia, EDM and other flavors that push all over the place but doesn’t sprawl. Today, they simply go by STS9, but the mission is the same: Get out there, get wild, blow some minds, blow a lot of minds.

We don’t get STS9 in NYC that often. This weekend’s Brooklyn Steel stand was their first multinight run here since before the pandemic. And that meant that it was time to get down, good ’n’ proper, and on Friday, the first of two nights in Brooklyn, the five-piece served a little bit of everything over two sets.

They’re almost all instrumental, except for some occasional vocal effects or samples from sung or spoken-word records they incorporate. Crucially, and somewhat unique among electronica-shot-through rock bands, they resist the sometimes-jam-band-y urge to let individual solos dominate how the music progresses. STS9 have always been an all-at-once unit that shifts and contorts and rocks and freaks out as one, a moving beast. This helps make their songs feel like, yep, voyages. Most tunes begin either with slow builds that eventually surge to shattering peaks or they get right into your face from the jump, then lightly confound expectations by morphing into different modes before resolving or shifting into other tunes entirely. 

Friday���s two sets pulled tunes from so many different corners of what STS9 do, although the common thread was often massive, dance-it-off payoffs, one after the other. “New Dawn, New Day” — with its vocal sample of Nina Simone’s “Feelin’ Good” — was all vibe-y groove. “Wika Chikana,” by contrast, didn’t pick any one groove at all, loving on its gnarly syncopation like a Frank Zappa carnival ride atop New Orleans funk. 

“Vapors” — late in the second set — was a jittery video-game soundtrack, starting as heavy space-rock and then setting loose its drummers into propulsive untz-untz territory. “Move My Peeps,” a favorite of this writer’s, built layer upon layer of synths and other sonics to begin spectral and then, as it dynamically upshifted, menacing. The deliberate, woozy “F. Word” sounded trip-hop, but its rhythm turned so stabbing and slashing that it built toward something more industrial-stomp. 

Each of these was a little voyage, none too short to feel impatiently explored, none too long to feel formless or trudging. We were totally spent by the time they wrapped up things with a whirring, emotional “Circus” in the encore slot, but we’d have been for hearing what another hour could bring, too. —Chad Berndtson | @Cberndtson

Camelot (1967)

Camelot is breathtakingly lavish. You can see its $13 million budget (keep in mind that’s ’67 money) all over the screen. It’s got a couple of memorable tunes too, though at 180 minutes, it’s so long you might fall asleep and the story - interesting on paper but not in execution - doesn’t help.

As King Arthur (Richard Harris) builds the kingdom his old mentor Merlyn prophecizes, he assembles his knights of the Round Table. The noblest of them all is Sir Lancelot du Lac (Franco Nero). Initially disliked by Arthur’s wife, Guenevere (Vanessa Redgrave), Lancelot's nobility eventually wins her heart and they begin having an affair. Her infidelity will eventually lead to Camelot’s ruin.

The most interesting aspect of this film is that it is based on the 1960 stage musical, itself based on the 1958 novel The Once and Future King - the same book that inspired Disney’s The Sword in the Stone. That film ends when Arthur pulls Excalibur out of the anvil. This film begins years later, as Arthur is readying for his arranged marriage to Guenevere. You can pair them up to get the beginning and end of Arthur's reign. They both even happen to be musicals, so it lines up really well. If you haven’t read the book or seen other “faithful” adaptations of the story (so the 2017 King Arthur: Legend of the Sword wouldn’t count), it’s cool to see "the whole thing". We all know about the round table and the knights but why was that a big deal? Why was Arthur considered so just and good? You’ll find out if you watch Camelot.

Before sitting down with this film by Joshua Logan, you should know a few things ahead of time. Firstly, this is no My Fair Lady. I won't say that there are no catchy songs. There are exactly two: “If Ever I Would Leave You and Camelot. The rest are completely forgettable because their tone and pacing never change. It starts to feel like a lullaby because even if you cut out the introductory music, the intermission and the exit music, you would still have a movie that spends a long time doing little. Even knowing ahead of time that this is a romantic drama can't prepare you for the scene of Guinevere and her friends frolicking and gathering flowers to celebrate the month of May (what am I doing here?). Everything that might’ve been exciting to see, like a young Arthur being trained by Merlyn by being transformed into animals, pulling Excalibur from that stone, conceiving his illegitimate son Mordred (David Hemmings)… you won't find in this movie. They just talk - or rather sing - about how it happened.

Aside from the one scene where Lancelot jousts against three rivals in a row, this feels like a stage musical someone is filming, complete with way too much makeup on Richard Harris. We get a lot of closeups of his face and every time, you can see just how thick his eye shadow is. Unless you’re already a fan, I doubt this film will appeal to you, partially because we hardly get to know these characters. You like Arthur - I guess. At least you're on his side since he's being cheated on but you have no love for Guinevere. At one point, the law states she should be burned at the stake for treason. You'll say “Good. Serves her right.” when you should be emotionally torn up.

I thought I had difficulty latching onto Camelot because it’s a musical from the ‘60s. Then I remembered Mary Poppins, “The Sound of Music”, West Side Story and other great films from the era. I love those. This? It's got no life to it. Without a doubt, this film looks terrific. The costumes are incredible and the sets are lavish… but is that enough? I don’t think so. I won’t go so far as to call Camelot bad, but I’d say this film has a limited appeal to a small crowd. (On DVD, August 22, 2022)
