Film Review: At the MFA’s French Film Festival — A Vivacious “Chic!”

Mechanical as Chic!’s story is, it is rare to have this kind of French fluff put across with so much charm and vivacity.

By: Paul Dervis Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: 20th Annual French Film Festival, Chic!, Fanny Ardant, Jérôme Cornuau, Museum of Fine Arts, Paul Dervis

Visual Arts Review: Photographer Gordon Parks — Return to Fort Scott

Back To Fort Scott, a compact, affecting exhibition of meticulously printed black and white photographs, is like a grainy, retro speed bump between the museum’s adjacent galleries.

Film Review: “Voice Over” — It’s All in the Chilean Family

Visual Arts Review: “National Pride (and Prejudice)” at MFA Boston — Thinking Critically about National Icons

National Pride (and Prejudice) wants us to reexamine the relationship between a country’s iconic images and its not-so-reassuring realities.

Film Review: “Bad Hair” — A Very Good Movie

Mariana Rondón’s Bad Hair is a beautifully acted film about the stultifying pressures on downtrodden lives.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Bad Hair, Boston, Caracas, Mariana Rondón, Museum of Fine Arts, Paul Dervis, Venezuela

Visual Arts Review: “Goya: Order and Disorder” — A Mountain of Superlatives

Goya: Order and Disorder is likely the most important exhibition on the New England museum calendar for the coming year and then some.

By: Franklin Einspruch Filed Under: Featured, Review, Visual Arts Tagged: Boston, Goya: Order and Disorder, Museum of Fine Arts, Stephanie Loeb Stepanek

Film Review: Philippe Garrel’s “Jealousy” — The Poignant Return of the Nouvelle Vague

Jealousy is a misleading title for this touching movie, as the characters are less jealous than forlorn when those they love move on to other loves.

By: Gerald Peary Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Anna Mouglalis, french film, Jealousy, Louis Garel, Museum of Fine Arts, Philippe Garrel

Visual Arts Review: Jamie Wyeth at Boston’s MFA — Liberally Peppered with Shlock

Awe-striking passages of deft realism are easy to find throughout the show. Wholly satisfying paintings, resolved from edge to edge and full of convincing purpose, are not.

By: Franklin Einspruch Filed Under: Featured, Review, Visual Arts Tagged: Andrew Wyeth, Andy-Warhol, Boston, Jamie Wyeth, Museum of Fine Arts
