Another day, another detective! These lil bios have been fun writing exercises for me :3

(Artwork by @ummmmandy as per usual)

Zoe Quintero, 25

Zoe will often tell someone upon meeting them that her name means “life” in Greek. So it makes sense that she’s always been the life of the party! (Rebecca remembers all of Zoe’s teachers wording it differently.) Zoe is a cheerful lil ball of sunshine, quite literally, as she’s barely 5’2”. Her shorter height was one reason she really honed her fighting skills- no one ever expects the little guy to pack a punch and that’s been useful here and there.

She became a cop because well, how hard could it be to be a cop in Wayhaven? Small town, small crime! Right? Her promotion was something she was not expecting (or wanting) and if she’s honest, (and she is) she is still in the adjustment period. She falters from time to time but she really, truly wants to do the title of detective justice. It’s just gonna take a little while! And yeah, sometimes she can be found sending Tina memes when she reeeaaallly should be doing paperwork, but thats usually only around the end of the day anymore. Usually. Anyway, she’s utterly smitten with Felix. Does not care who knows it. Heart Eyes, guys. Adam still kind of intimidates her (he’s so serious all the time omg) but Nate she finds easy to talk to, even confide in. She is determined to make Mason her friend. Oh she’s also totes excited about supernaturals. Can’t wait to know more!

Notes on Tina Quintero in Ley Del Deseo (1987)

Week 2 entry on 1/24/2018 by Mistilyn Van Bebber

In terms of Mulvean masculine and feminine narrative dichotomies, under which a male character drives his own actions and furthers the plot with inspirations like female characters getting threatened, hurt, or dead versus female narratives that are without solutions and always in proximity to or something controlled by a male character, Tina Quintero seems to simultaneously challenge and reproduce this sexist structure through the representation of her transness and her feminine characterization. That is, at first her expense isn't the main motivator of the male protagonist as his sister and she is even presented as being independent rather than defenseless:

Man slaps Tina across the face. 

"People like you shouldn't but a defenseless woman." 

"You are no woman."

Tina punches man across the face, perks her breasts, and walks away.

His attack on her femininity drives her retaliate violently more than the initial blow which is great because she doesn't merely get punished or fetishized through domestication or through accepting abuse without fightback. However, in terms of a third category of assimilation (as discussed in a previous during week one) she does seem to counter stereotype by reproducing masculinity via physical domination. 

Ultimately though, she is treated better than the trope of feminine narrative because she is not the one who “is the sadist” of the plot for Juan seemed to satisfy that role of the woman who dies or suffers for the sake of motivating the protagonist. 

Is this progressive for giving her more potential than the archetypal female character or inadvertently invalidating her identity by not subjecting her to the fate of the feminine narrative?

365 Day Movie Challenge (2019) - #148: Law of Desire (1987) - dir. Pedro Almodóvar

Prior to Law of Desire hitting American shores, the only Pedro Almodóvar films that had screened in the US were Dark Habits (1983), which played at the Miami Film Festival in 1984, and What Have I Done to Deserve This? (1984), which was shown at MFF and the Museum of Modern Art’s New Directors/New Films Festival in New York before receiving a limited theatrical release across the country in 1985-86. So I’m not sure exactly what American critics expected from Almodóvar when Law of Desire appeared at MFF and New Directors/New Films, eventually opening in theaters to perhaps his most receptive audience yet, but without a doubt this NC-17-rated drama is my personal favorite of the eleven Almodóvar titles I have watched since August.

One of Almodóvar‘s greatest muses, Antonio Banderas, has one of the best roles of his career as Antonio Benítez, a young man who is infatuated with an openly gay director, Pablo Quintero (Eusebio Poncela). Pablo, his transgender sister, Tina (Carmen Maura), and her little daughter Ada (Manuela Velasco) are inseparable, and when Pablo isn’t with them, he spends time with his much younger boyfriend Juan Bermúdez (Timothée Chalamet precursor Miguel Molina). Antonio manages to grab Pablo’s attention long enough to have a one-night stand, but a fling isn’t sufficient for the troubled young man. He stalks Pablo and Juan, observing their movements and setting events in motion that will forever alter the tight-knit clique’s lives. These characters think that they make their own choices, yet Almodóvar proposes that they are magnetized to each other as though bound by fate.

As in so many Almodóvar stories, desire is realized in manifestations of both pleasure and pain. Every adult character hungers for something: lust, love, professional success. In one of the film’s most affecting scene, we see a scene from Pablo’s stage production of Jean Cocteau’s play The Human Voice (an inspiration for Almodóvar’s next film, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown), performed by Tina and Ada while the latter lipsyncs Brazilian singer Maysa Matarazzo’s cover of the Jacques Brel classic “Ne me quitte pas.” The scene also gives us a glimpse of Ada’s parentage by featuring Bibiana Fernández as her birth mother. Not only does Ada come from a household with two mothers, but a transgender actress (Fernández) plays a cisgender character while a cis actress (Maura) plays a trans character.

Law of Desire is a gripping, almost thriller-esque drama of obsessive, possessive urges and it also contains elements of comedy that may work best for viewers who are already familiar with the usual suspects in Almodóvar’s cast rosters. Fernando Guillén (Women on the Verge’s “Iván“) plays a police detective, while Nacho Martínez (Matador’s “Diego”) is a caring doctor, Helga Liné (Labyrinth of Passion’s “Toraya”) is Antonio’s haughty mother and Almodóvar regular Rossy de Palma makes her big-screen debut as a TV talk show host. (Victoria Abril, Fabio McNamara and Almodóvar himself have uncredited, blink-and-you-miss-it cameos, too.) In my estimation, Law of Desire received its MPAA rating more for its bold, uncompromising approaches to LGBTQ+ storylines than for the sexual content itself, but regardless there is no question that this film is among Pedro Almodóvar’s greatest achievements as a storyteller.

‌

Um homem, mais novo que 30, entra em um quarto aparentemente vazio. Tira a roupa, vai até o espelho, beija os próprios lábios e encosta o seu corpo com o corpo de seu reflexo, escancarando o narcisismo indispensável ao ato de se masturbar. Segue estes passos sempre a comando de uma voz, uma autoridade que sabemos estar presente mesmo fora do nosso campo de visão. Há alguns ângulos mais próximos do ator e de seus gestos durante a cena, mas o quadro principal constitui de um quarto quase completamente vazio, com exceção de uma cama desforrada e de um espelho, daqueles finos da mesma estatura de nosso corpo.

Estes são os cinco minutos iniciais de “A Lei do Desejo”. A cena era, na verdade, parte de um filme pornô dirigido pelo protagonista do filme, Pablo Quintero (Eusebio Poncela), um homem de classe média alta que mora sozinho em um apartamento de Madrid, recebendo visitas ocasionais de sua irmã Tina (Carmen Maura) ou de seus amantes. Um deles é Antonio (Antonio Banderas, em mais um de seus maravilhosos papéis pré-fama), jovem obcecado por Pablo, mantendo com ele uma relação nos moldes de “Atração Fatal”.

Almodóvar, como autor, alcança aqui seu auge na criação de personagens cativantes e cheios de absurda sensualidade. E para cada um desses personagens ele cria uma visão e um gênero próprio, misturando o sexo cômico com o drama de uma investigação policial. Tina, por exemplo, é puro apelo sexual. Assim como o homem da primeira cena, sua sensualidade vem do íntimo da solidão. Ela se movimenta sozinha dentro do espaço limitado da fotografia cinematográfica como se a câmera fosse uma amante de longa data.

“A Lei do Desejo” é estranhamente fiel ao nome. Um dos filmes mais sexys que eu, como aspirante a cinéfilo, já vi. Esta sexualidade já não tem a mesma beleza em filmes como “Tudo Sobre Minha Mãe”, “Fale com Ela” e “Volver”. O ato sexual aqui (e nos outros dois filmes já criticados) vem com leveza e naturalidade. E por considerarmos o sexo como um ato sigiloso absurdo, tal leveza traz uma inevitável pitada de humor, que Almodóvar faz questão de multiplicar. Nos filmes citados, o humor dele já é bem mais sutil

LA LEY DEL DESEO Pablo Quintero (Eusebio Poncela) es un exitoso director de cine y teatro gay cuyo último trabajo, El paradigma del mejillón, acaba de ser lanzado. En la fiesta de la noche de apertura, él discute con su amante mucho más joven, Juan (Miguel Molina), sus planes de verano. Pablo se quedaría en Madrid trabajando en un nuevo proyecto, mientras que Juan se iría a su ciudad natal en el sur para trabajar en un bar y quedarse con su familia. Pablo está enamorado de Juan, pero se da cuenta de que su amor no regresa con la intensidad que desea. Pablo está muy cerca de su hermana transexual, Tina (Carmen Maura), una actriz que lucha. Tina ha sido abandonada recientemente por su amante lesbiana, una modelo, que la dejó a cargo de su hija Ada, de diez años. Frustrada en su relación con los hombres, Tina dedica su tiempo a Ada, siendo una madre sustituta amorosa. La precoz Ada no extraña a su fría madre. Ella es más feliz viviendo con Tina y pasando tiempo con Pablo, de quien tiene un enamoramiento. Tina, Ada y Pablo forman un punto familiar inusual. Pablo cuida de los dos. Para su próximo proyecto, Pablo escribe una adaptación del monólogo de Cocteau, La voix humaine, que interpretará su hermana. En la noche de estreno de la obra, Pablo conoce a Antonio (Antonio Banderas), un joven que ha estado obsesionado con el director desde que vio la película El paradigma del mejillón. Al final de la tarde se van a casa juntos y tienen relaciones sexuales. Para Antonio, esta es su primera experiencia homosexual, mientras que Pablo lo considera un episodio lujurioso. Pablo todavía está enamorado de su amante Juan. Antonio entiende mal las intenciones de Pablo y toma su encuentro como una relación. Pronto revela su comportamiento posesivo como amante. Antonio se encuentra con una carta de amor dirigida a Pablo, firmada por Juan, pero que en realidad fue escrita por Pablo para sí mismo. La carta hace que Antonio caiga en una furia celosa, pero tiene que regresar a su Andalucía natal, donde vive con su dominante madre alemana. Como prometió, Pablo le envía a Antonio una carta firmada con Laura P, el nombre de un personaje inspirado por su hermana en un guion que está esc (en Albano's) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHx901Dfrq/?igshid=1a8ccimnh7oy8

[almodxvar-blog]

En Matador (1986) Carmen Maura es Julia, la psicóloga que atiende a Ángel (Antonio Banderas) en el penal psiqúiátrico donde está recluido y en observación. (Madrid, 1945) es una de las actrices españolas más conocidas y reconocidas nacional e internacionalmente. Comenzó a actuar en el Teatro Español Universitario como aficionada hasta que el crítico teatral Alfredo Marquerie le aconsejó dedicarse por entero a la interpretación dada su valía. Pese a no contar con el apoyo familiar, trabajó en café-teatro, hizo pequeños papeles en televisión y realizó varias giras teatrales en compañías independientes de poca resonancia. Sus primeros papeles protagonistas en el cine son Tigres De Papel (1977) y ¿Qué Hace Una Chica Como Tú En Un Sitio Como Éste? (1978), ambas de Fernando Colomo.

En 1977 protagoniza el montaje teatral Las Manos Sucias, de Jean-Paul Sartre y conoce a Pedro Almodóvar, que interpreta un pequeño papel.

En 2006 protagonizó el reencuentro más esperado del cine español. Pedro Almodóvar y ella se volvieron a unir en el rodaje de Volver.

Ha sido la única actriz española elegida por la Academia de Cine Europeo, en dos ocasiones, como Mejor actriz del año. Sus reconocimientos oficiales abarcan desde el Premio Nacional de Cinematografía hasta la Medalla de Oro de las Bellas Artes, pasando por la Orden de Caballero de las Artes y las Letras, que concede el gobierno francés, o el Premio Donostia 2013 en el Festival de San Sebastián.

En Pepi, Luci, Bom y Otras Chicas del Montón (1980) Carmen Maura es Pepi, una chica moderna, ingeniosa y amoral a la que viola un policía a cambio de olvidarse del cultivo de marihuana que ésta tiene en su terraza.

En Entre Tinieblas (1983) interpreta a Sor Perdida, la monja de las Redentoras Humilladas encargada del cuidado del tigre que una redimida se dejó siendo un cachorro y que Sor Perdida convirtió en la mascota del convento.

En ¿Qué He Hecho Yo Para Merecer Esto? (1984) da vida a Gloria, una mujer que trabaja de asistenta y vive con su marido, la suegra, dos hijos macarras y un lagarto.

En Matador (1986) es Julia, la psicóloga que atiende a Ángel (Antonio Banderas) en el penal psiqúiátrico donde está recluido y en observación.

En La Ley Del Deseo (1987) interpreta el papel de Tina Quintero, la hermana transexual del célebre director de cine Pablo Quintero (Eusebio Poncela).

En Mujeres Al Borde De Un Ataque De Nervios (1988) Carmen Maura es Pepa, una ctriz a quien su pareja Iván (Fernando Guillén) acaba de dejar. Por este papel, Carmen Maura recibió el Premio Goya a la mejor actriz protagonista.

Casi veinte años después Carmen Maura volvía a ponerse a las órdenes de Pedro Almodóvar en la premiada Volver (2006) interpretando a Irene, la abuela y madre que regresa de entre los muertos para resolver los asuntos que dejó pendientes en vida. Por su interpretación, recibió el premio Goya a mejor actriz de reparto y la palma del Festival de Cannes junto al resto del reparto femenino del filme.

Day 4 BLUESFEST 2015

Bluesfest 2015 Day 4

Bluesfest 2015

If Saturday night at Bluesfest 2015 was the night of one word descriptions, Day Four goes down in history by being the day of four words – Oh My F*%king Goddess!!!

Where else in Australia can you see the following live acts all at the same festival, all on the same night?

Here’s a quick roll call;

Diesel, Watussi, Nikki Hill, Blue King Brown, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Angelique Kidjo, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals and Mavis Staples.

Truly!!!

We woke up the afternoon of Day 4 a little later than expected as Nanna Naps sometimes fool you when you don’t set the alarm. This set the scene for the rest of the evening as it was more a matter of just going with the flow (and really, what else does one do at Bluesfest?). With this in mind, the night laid out an eclectic and mesmerizing smorgasboard of musical taste sensations to once again graze on and that nourished and sustained the very core of us all. If only there were seconds available. Yum!!!

So here goes Day 4 in no particular order.

By chance, I had to head back to the car to grab some jackets and on the way out heard this amazing vocalist as I walked passed The Delta Stage. I kept on going to the carpark, and when I returned and stopped for a moment , I realized it was Diesel, up there on the stage all by his gorgeous self. Everyone’s favourite American-born, Australian music legend did it all one man band style last night, with just his guitar/s, harmonica, drum machine and of course that honey coated husky voice of his. Swoon…

After bursting onto the Australian live scene in 1986 as ‘Johnny Diesel & The Injectors’ and a subsequent solo career from 1991, Diesel (Mark Lizotte) still continues to bring it everytime, and the crowd was loving the trip down memory lane. I caught Johnny Diesel and The Injectors at The Arts Factory/Piggery, Byron Bay back in my early highschool days, so I, along with everyone else at The Delta Stage, was reliving times past when he broke out “Soul Revival”. With a career spanning more than 25 years, over 35 singles, 13 albums, 6 ARIA awards and record sales edging 1 million, Diesel is a journeyman of music. With blues music in his DNA, Diesel has blended styles to come up with a unique sound, punctuated with his distinct guitar playing and soulful vocals. Amongst all the spectacular international acts on hand at this years Bluesfest, it was also refreshing to be able to catch one of the last true pub circuit live Aussie acts. Wow!!!

Nikki Hill hit The Delta Stage just as I was chowing on down into a big juicy chicken burger next door at the Burger Yard. Often coined the new queen of soul, Nikki hails from North Carolina, and was influenced mostly by Little Richard. Nikki comes by her Deep South soul honestly. This blues shouter and growler is a bona-fide rock’n’roll diva that has audiences wrapped around her finger. As I was grooving in the Burger Yard, I thought to myself, imagine if Bluesfest secured Tina Turner one year. It must have been the burger, mixed with Nikki’s rock chick sweet soul style that made me wonder. We listened to Nikki’s cd on the way to Bluesfest on day 4 so it was great to be able to catch her live.

I fully love me some Watussi, the more live the more better too. I met these guys somewhere back in 2005 at Koori Radio 93.7fm Marrickville when they were just starting out on their musical journey, so I have a special spot for them on my insides! These Sydney based Afro-Latin-rockers, led by Colombian born compadre Oscar Jimenez, with their unmistakable distorted riffs and funked-up percussive rhythms brought to Bluesfest 2015 a dance extravaganza with new exotic South American rhythms to celebrate the band’s 10 year anniversary. The last few years have seen the group support performances with acts such as Santana, Earth Wind & Fire, Seun Kuti, Manu Chao. These brothers need to be booked for Mardi Gras and have their own float!!!

Mavis Staples shared on stage, "We must all work towards peace, because without peace and equality society cannot move on and become better,". This really set the scene for her live set. It made me think about all the acts at Bluesfest, and that while many of the younger generation of groups sprout peace, unity, freedom etc, profusely, sometimes even stopping their set to explain the virtues of the struggle, other acts such as the legendary Mavis Staples was there in the frontline and embeds her music with the very essence of what the youth Bluesfest acts very rarely encounter. Grammy Award winner MAVIS STAPLES was voted as one of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll, and Rolling Stone listed her as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. MAVIS STAPLES is the real deal. In her 67-year career – from her ground-breaking family gospel group – THE STAPLES SINGERS ‘I'll Take You There’, ‘Respect Yourself’, ‘If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me)’ and on her own, MAVIS STAPLES is responsible for blazing a Rhythm & Blues trail, while never relinquishing her Gospel roots and it is now that her star is shining brightest. Mavis Staples has publicly stated that Bluesfest is her favourite festival of all time. The crowd went wild (in a very self respectful way) when this inspirational 75 year old Aunty belted out the her song ‘Respect Yourself’. The lady don’t lie!!

It would not be a real Bluesfest experience without the next act, BKB, another band with a strong social message who started their career jamming in the streets of Byron Bay over a decade ago. Lead singer Natalie Pa'apa'a offered a clear message for her audience.

"Our music is dedicated to the Aboriginal people of this country and of all nations, because they know what is like to be alienated by a system that does not work for us, that needs to be changed," she said.

The message '‪#‎sosblackaustralia' was projected into the stage's background during their show a number of times, referring to the campaign against the possible closing of remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia.

"Australia is the only country in the world that did not sign a treaty with its Aboriginal people after colonization," said Pa'apa'a.

BKB also invited Yirrmal Marika up onstage to perform Yothu Yindi’s Djapana and Treaty, which made the crowd go absolutely wild. For a local (my Grandfather was born at Tyagarah, where Bluesfest is held), Aboriginal South Sea Islander like myself, it always blows my mind when Aboriginal culture is embraced by the masses with such Respect and Love. Awesome!!!

I have been blessed to see ANGÉLIQUE KIDJO, Grammy Award winner, tireless campaigner for women’s health and education in Africa, a UNICEF Peace Ambassador and also, with a 20 year discography, 12 albums and thousands of concerts around the world, a gifted performer and prolific songwriter, many many times (in South Africa, Sydney, Melbourne and at Bluesfest 2 or 3 times). This woman never fails to impress me live, and as always gets the mob up and dancing. Her no nonsense style of interacting with the punters whilst on stage is very old school, and her pride as an African woman is undeniable. Last night at The Crossroads Stage, Anjelique had the tent packed and up dancing all the way through her act. Even the lantern paraders couldn’t help but come in and proceed up and down the aisles. Such is the magnetism of this amazing woman.

Rodrigo y Gabriela, the internationally acclaimed Mexican acoustic rock guitar duo who have won the hearts of many Australians music fans (including all of us at Bluesfest) are returning with their unique instrumental blend of Rumba Flamenca including elements of Rock, Metal, Jazz and World music. Rodrigo y Gabriela will also be bringing their latest release and first studio album in five years with them; 9 Dead Alive.

Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero have been playing together for more than fifteen years. First as young Thrash Metal fans in their native Mexico City, then as innocents abroad and street musicians in Dublin, Ireland at the turn of the millennium, and finally as the globe-straddling, film-scoring, record-breaking artists they are today including career sales in excess of 1.5 million albums, and sold out tours worldwide including headlining at London's Wembley Arena, just two weeks before they played Bluesfest 2015.

Rodrigo y Gabriela are known for their exhilarating live shows, the extraordinary interplay between Sanchez’s fiery lead lines and Quintero’s phenomenal rhythmic battery, creates a sound which is truly universal. It was liberating to be able to experience music without lyrics, and it was so cool to see the capacity filled Mojo Stage audience getting right behind this dynamic duo. Their appeal is boundless, their scope limitless, and the music timeless, we were all wowed by Rodrigo y Gabriela at Bluesfest. Footstomping galore was going down at this pefomance, in and out of the mud. Big Fun Indeed!!!

The much anticipated reunion of BEN HARPER & THE INNOCENT CRIMINALS at Bluesfest on Easter Sunday (April 5) went down into history as one of the major events on the 2015 Festival calendar. It was the bands ONLY performance in Australia. When brother Ben hit the stage, there were still people coming into the greater Mojo compound. An artist such as Ben Harper and his music needs to be heard as far and as wide as possible.

Another amazeballs evening of great music, vibes and company.

After a beautiful night under The Moon and experiencing great live music, beautiful hearted people and awesome food, as I walking out of the festival site proper I turned and said to my mate, “wouldn’t it be good if the world was like this all the time”, then quickly shifted focus and added, “in fact I take that back, ‘cos if the world was like this all the time, we wouldn’t appreciate it’.

Oh, and did I mention that Stunning Moon...

ONE LOVE
