Thoughts : Tangerine (2015)

Despite how diverse and vastly populated our world is, when it comes to cinema, the variety is not the same.  Many, many groups of people are either overlooked or misrepresented, if even given a fair shot at having their time on the silver screen.  Minorities and women, in particular, are starting to be a bit more recognized and given equal footing, but the transgender community seems to continually be grossly misrepresented, if represented at all.  This glaring omission to the world of film is what makes Sean Baker’s Tangerine a true gem, among many other factors. 

Sin-Dee Rella (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is fresh out of a 28-day stint in prison, and on the street just in time for Christmas Eve.  Her friend (and fellow transgender sex worker) Alexandra (Mya Taylor) welcomes her back, only to immediately drop the news that Sin-Dee’s boyfriend/pimp Chester (James Ransone) has cheated on her with a ‘fish’ (cisgender woman) named Dinah (Mickey O’Hagan).  Infuriated, Sin-Dee storms the streets of Hollywood in search of Dinah so that she can confront Chester about his infidelity.  Meanwhile, cab driver Razmik (Karren Karagulian) is out on the street fulfilling his desires for transgender sex workers when he catches wind that Sin-Dee is back on the street.  This bit of information becomes a point of fixation to the point that he leaves Christmas dinner to find her, leaving his wife and mother-in-law behind to search the streets for Sin-Dee.  Each party finds themselves searching the streets, with all points eventually converging into a confrontation that shakes up everyone’s status-quo.

Sean Baker has a way of taking relationships between the people that we normally do not see (or choose to ignore), and turning those relationships into invigorating and captivating cinema.  There is absolutely nothing hard to relate to about the base narrative of Tangerine... we’ve all had to sacrifice or suffer for something that someone we love did, most anyone who has loved someone has been cheated on at one time or another, and many of us have been so focused or fixated on something that it derails our day to day life and ability to stay connected to our love ones.  Taking these familiar experiences and applying them to people that most of us unjustly fear or ignore makes us able to understand that, at the end of the day, people are just people.  Just because you cannot directly relate to someone’s lifestyle doesn’t make them different from you, because in the end, life is rough on everyone.

On the technical side, Sean Baker is truly a master at allowing colors to pop off of the screen while simultaneously using them to inform the viewer emotionally.  He has a true knack for finding locations that have distinct character visually, further enriching the world of his films.  Similarly, the use of the song Babes in Toyland is equally informative, especially with the film being centered around Christmas in Hollywood.  What is truly technically astounding is the fact that the film was shot on the iPhone 5s... how Baker managed to get the vivid looks he achieved without any hint of blockiness or degraded black sections is amazing to me.  

The acting in this film is extremely believable and top-notch all around, something that has come to be a hallmark of Baker films.  Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor do all types of heavy lifting, taking up the lion’s share of screen time with high energy and soul-bearing performances.  Mickey O’Hagan takes a truly tough role and manages to infuse some sympathy and comedy into it... not many actors or actresses would sign up to be manhandled for 90 minutes.  James Ransone also manages to get some humor into his role while still managing to portray the modern day low-level pimp to a tee.  Karren Karagulian initially comes off as a bit of an extra auxiliary narrative, but completely owns his role and placement in the film by the its conclusion.

After seeing The Florida Project, I knew that I needed to get to Tangerine as soon as possible, as it was just as critically acclaimed.  These two films have put Sean Baker squarely on my radar as a director whose older material I must visit, and whose upcoming material will always get my attention.

#LIVETheatreReview #BestOfTheFest @TheComedyChateau 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 1/2 (Out of 5) Fun Nigh Of Fresh Comedy What a fun night of comedy at North Hollywood’s Comedy Chateau hosted by Felix McNulty who introduced and revved-up the audience for each performer. Drinks, snacks and plates available all night, the evening included what I think was about 18 comics of all shapes, colors, sizes and styles. It was the last night of “The Best of The Fest” Festival of comedy featuring topics and subject matters covering Pride Month, Dating, Nationality issues, mommy issues and so much more. I want to focus on three wonderful performers the literally blew me way with heir sets – albeit way too short for me (as I did not get a set list of all the performers names); Jason Stuart – a ‘totally’ (valley-girl sounding) awesome gay comic who loves what he does and you can tell. Playing with the audience, using situations of his own experience and being proudly gay for all to hear. So funny. So clever. So much fun. Follow him @thejasonstuart Jimmy Brogan is a wise man from Cleveland, Ohio whose fresh and simple comic style kept me and the audience in tears of laughter. Using the audience as his material, he never missed a beat, a comment or a rollback to things that happened 5 minutes before. OMG – way too much fun! Following him at @jimmybroganhaha Seth Robichaux was bright, shimmering, shiny and so high energy – that his quips and whips – mainly at us the audience were hysterical, if all true, but fun and fast. He went on and never turned off. Hysterical, commentary on being a very out and very open and very colorful gay man. I needed a drink after his set! Follow him at @sethrobichaux Check our the Comedy Chateau’s website for comedy sets every week and for special events and also check out these comics above – whenever you can! You’ll laugh till it hurts. Really! Lorenzo M. - @GeekAuthority #TheGeekAuthority #Theatre #Plays #PerformanceArts https://linktr.ee/thegeekauthority

What fun it was to see Sandra Bernhard live and in person at Oscar's Downtown Palm Springs last night with my BFF Steve Campbell and fashion icon Camerone Elise Parker. What a fun night! The food was good and show was really very funny and intimate. I had not seen here since I was on her show in NYC got the #GayGames at the Town Hall Theater

[jasonstuart]

I got to do a PSA with Rachel Avalon for FIND Food Bank for the radio today. It will air on the radio in #palmsprings. I played a couple warring about how they were going to have enough food for the #Holidays. No-one should go hungry in America! For me, It's a gift to #giveback. "A famous actor once said to me when you go up in the elevator of success, take people with you". I was asked to do it by Debbie Espinoza after doing #standupcomedy at this wonderful event for the food bank. If you want to volunteer, donate or are in need go to http://www.findfoodbank.org
