Joika ★★★★★

A New Zealand- Poland co-production, "Joika," directed byJames Napier Robertson explores these themes through the true story of Joy Womack, the first American ballerina admitted to Russia's Bolshoi Ballet Academy. Talia Ryder delivers a captivating performance as Joy, whose life revolves around dance, navigating between determination and desperation. Diane Kruger shines as Tatiyana, Joy's instructor, adding depth to their complex relationship.

The film sets its tone early as Joy expresses the immense pressure she places on herself amidst expectations from the American dance community. As an outsider in the Academy, Joy faces hostility from peers and instructors, depicted with visceral intensity.

"Joika" skillfully captures the chaos of ballet, from the sounds of bones cracking to the shaky camera movements mirroring the frenetic energy of the dance world. The intricate dynamic between Joy and Tatiyana propels the narrative, offering a fresh perspective on the mentor-student relationship.

While the film delivers suspense and moral dilemmas akin to "Whiplash," it opts for a more contemplative ending rather than a traditional feel-good resolution.

I’ve been thinking about how Mando’a has a lot of glottal stops and how people probably wouldn’t pronounce them correctly when speaking quickly. I had the idea of an “accent” Mando’a speakers develop if they rush their words a lot.

Usually mispronunciating glottal stops would make a Mando’a speaker harder to understand or make them sound rushed and harried. But sometimes people, like, get good at it. When that happens they are said to have “soldier’s accent” (“joh’ika* be verde” or “joika be verde”). It’s not joh’ika be verde if the person is tripping over their words and can’t be understood.

Despite the name, it is most often seen in restaurant cooks, nurses, etc. after busy shifts. The work rush version usually goes away once the person gets to sit down and breathe. Long term joh’ika be verde develops gradually when someone spends most or all of their time in an environment where speaking quickly is encouraged, even outside of rushes. That version is more of an “accent” and seen in soldiers and holonet gamers.

Outside of the expected settings, joh’ika be verde gives the impression that someone has never relaxed or had a normal conversation. In casual settings it’s considered hashing the vibe.

Idioms I made up from this:

“Gar jorhaa’i sa gar kih’ru’cuyi o’r akaan” / “You sound like you were just in a war” as an equivalent to “you look like you just went through a war.” (I added kih/small to ru’cuyi/were for kih’ru’cuyi/‘recently were’ because there’s no “just” or “recently.”)

“digu gar betene” / “forgetting your sighs” as an equivalent to “tripping over your words”

*there wasn’t a Mando’a word for accent, so I added the diminutive to joha/language

My roommate just came back from the wildest experience of a performance at Palsa's (a now-dead artist from Lapland) home/museum. I'm not even kidding.

I'm so mad she didn't take a picture of it, but my favourite part from her story was a naked man in a skeleton costume playing a kantele with two dildos while joika'ing. Like who comes up with this shit. I'm kinda sad now that I decided not to go there.
