Sun sets in Tate weather display
Danish-born artist Olafur Eliasson has turned Tate Modern's vast Turbine Hall into an atmospheric, foggy sunset with the aid of mist and mirrors.

Olafur Eliasson's installation at the Tate Modern, London.


 
The five-month exhibition, which opens on Thursday, is based on the British obsession with the weather.

Eliasson put 300 mirrors on the ceiling, and placed more than 200 lamps behind a semi-circular screen.

The "sun" appears whole thanks to the reflection, bathed in an eerie fog of frozen water vapour.

Eliasson's installation at the central London gallery took just three weeks to install, but it also took months of planning.

22 films from 14 countries: Striking crimson gold at the annual New York Film Festival -- Exile in Dogville  October 1 - 7, 2003
Free Radicals' Resetarits and Strauss

New York Film Festival -- October 3 through 19,  Alice Tully Hall

hen the New York Film Festival's opening-night film, Mystic River, materialized late in competition at Cannes, it seemed destined to crown Clint Eastwood's career with a Palme d'Orin part because of a widespread critical dissatisfaction with the festival's other movies. Given that Cannes 2003 was somewhat hysterically attacked as the worst edition in recent memory, it's striking that 13 of the 22 main-program features in a solid, if not stellar, NYFF premiered in Cannesbusiness as usual, I guess. J. HOBERMAN


DOGVILLE
October 4 and 5

The most provocative and most likely the greatest movie in this year's festival, Lars von Trier's masterpiece tells the story of a fugitive (Nicole Kidman) harbored, exploited, and ultimately martyred by the denizens of the eponymous small town. Working with a handheld camera on a nearly bare stage, von Trier invents an abstract American community as the austere arena for a cruel parable of Christian charity and Old Testament revenge. Lions Gate will release it next year. J.H.


A THOUSAND MONTHS
October 4 and 5

Moroccan director Faouzi Bensaidi's debut, set during Ramadan 1981, concerns a boy, his mother, and her father-in-law, who struggle while the kid's father is imprisoned for inciting a strike. If the trope of a child toting an emblematic artifacthere a chairseems too familiar, the glimpse into his mother's woeful banishment from the erotic is stingingly fresh. No distributor. LAURA SINAGRA


MANSION BY THE LAKE
October 6 and 7

A widow and her daughter return to their Sri Lankan estate to face the dissolution of the family fortune. Lester James Peries's adaptation of what the credits call The Cheery Orchard (now there's an idea) is an object lesson in the pitfalls of cine-Chekhov, vacuum-packing its mannequin performers in a state of unventilated torpor. No distributor. DENNIS LIM


PORNOGRAPHY
October 6 and 7

In Jan Jakub Kolski's misleadingly titled, faintly absurdist WWII drama (an adaptation of a Witold Gombrowicz novel), two middle-aged bohemian types leave Warsaw for a friend's country house, where they become obsessed with matchmaking a pair of blond, beautiful teens. A film of odd, expectant moods, it never quite transcends literary enigma. No distributor. D.L.


THE FLOWER OF EVIL
October 8 and 9

Digging deeper into overgrazed turf, Claude Chabrol challenges the bourgeoisie to another smackdown. The political backdrop and the secretive grandmother (Suzanne Flon) generate mild interest, but the quasi-incestuous couple is a bore and the guilt all too schematized. Palm Pictures opens it October 10. D.L.


YOUNG ADAM
October 8 and 9

Some British fans are positioning David MacKenzie's adaptation of Scottish beatnik Alexander Trocchi's '50s novel as this year's Morvern Callar. The movie is more pretty than gritty, with Trocchi's existential edge blunted, but Tilda Swinton's zombie passivity makes an elegant foil for Ewan McGregor's winking bad boy. Sony Classics. J.H.


ELEPHANT
October 10 and 11

Gus Van Sant's audaciously poetic evocation of a Columbine-like American high school shootingthe surprise winner at the 2003 Cannes Film Festivalis stronger on formal values and surface tension than social context or psychological analysis. Divisive, disturbing, and designed for maximum glide, it's almost avant-garde, a movie of long traveling shots, complex sound bridges, and impossible yearnings. HBO/Fine Line will open it October 24. J.H.


GOOD MORNING, NIGHT
October 10 and 11

Marco Bellocchio's semi-fictional drama imagines Italian prime minister Aldo Moro's 1978 kidnapping from the perspective of the only female captor. Solemn and tense, the film tips almost imperceptibly into tragedy, with a boldly fanciful ending that only deepens its anger and sadness. No distributor. D.L.


FREE RADICALS
October 11 and 12

Pondering chaos and coincidence, Barbara Albert's impressive second feature has a generic resemblance to Magnolia. But this Austrian filmmaker is more rigorous in structuring her movie; Free Radicals is an intelligent exercise in montage enlivened with some terrific visual and dramatic ideas. No distributor. J.H.


CRIMSON GOLD
October 13 and 14

Another first-rate movie by Jafar Panahi, director of The White Balloon and The Circle, this deadpan dark comedy begins and ends with a real-time, fixed-camera jewelry-store robbery. As usual with Panahi, Tehran is a character and there's a tremendous, impassive tragicomic performance by nonprofessional Hossain Emadeddin. Wellspring opens it next year. J.H.


SINCE OTAR LEFT
October 13 and 14

Documentary filmmaker Julie Bertuccelli's impeccably shot first featureset in Tblisi with a mixed cast of French, Russian, and Georgian actorsis a sweet, accomplished fable of loss and self-deception in the post-Soviet world. It's also an effective mother-daughter-granddaughter drama featuring the amazing Esther Gorintin. Zeitgeist. J.H.


GOODBYE DRAGON INN
October 15

Tsai Ming-liang lovingly evokes the dream life of a dilapidated Taipei theater, where the King Hu classic Dragon Inn unspools one final time before a handful of desultory patrons. Wryly minimal and lushly nostalgic, this movie about watching movies holds up an inquiring mirror to its audienceand in the urinal-cruising scene finds a situation hilariously suited to the director's long, fixed takes. No distributor. D.L.


DISTANT
October 15 and 16

Working in the tradition of Michelangelo Antonioni's early-'60s (and Abbas Kiarostami's early-'90s) modernism, Turkish auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan should secure his reputation here with this artfully spare and deliberate study of the strained relationship between an Istanbul intellectual and his rural kinsman. New Yorker Films. J.H.


PTU
October 16 and 18

Hong Kong action director Johnnie To makes his Lincoln Center debut with this stylish procedural, predicated on the late-night convergence of three separate police units and several criminal gangs. Nothing if not formalist, PTU is played for brutal prankishness and lyrical suspense. No distributor. J.H.


THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS
October 17 and 18

Denys Arcand's crowd-pleasing weepie is a sequel to the Quebecois filmmaker's equally facile Decline of the American Empire. I can't say that this is the cutest movie about a cancer death I've ever seen, but it is certainly the most egregiously self-congratulatory. Miramax will open it in November. J.H.


RAJA
October 17 and 18

Jacques Doillon's post-colonial two-hander sets up a discomfiting mismatchrich, white, middle-aged expat (Pascal Greggory) and teenage Marrakech servant girl (Najat Benssallem)and turns it into a tormented dance of shame and desire (all the more impressive for being conducted largely via translator). Tenaciously icky, Raja has the courage of its convictions. No distributor. D.L.


21 GRAMS
October 19

Despite scorching performances (Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Benicio Del Toro), Alejandro González Iñárritu's Amores Perros follow-up is a deflationary exercise in déjà vu. An achronological structure keeps three characters suspended in orbit around a horrific accident; the heart-transplant device (in the dubious tradition of Untamed Heart, Return to Me, and John Q) cancels any attempts at spiritual profundity. Focus Features plans a November release. D.L.

Local folks
Kris Delmhorst, Holly Harris, and John Cremona
BY TED DROZDOWSKI

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTE: Kris Delmhorst's album matches emotional turbulence with extraordinary singing and spacious arrangements.



BLUES BABY: 'When I first heard B.B. King, it hit me like a lightning bolt,' says Holly Harris.



FINDING PEACE: the message in John Cremona's music is positive, but with a few side trips to Hell.


A brave, wise, slightly paunchy starship commander once told us that space is the final frontier. In exploration, that may be so, but in music, space is one of the fundamentals of mastery. Knowing when not to play, or when to play only whats necessary, gives each sonic element in an arrangement from the vocals to the snap of a snare drum maximum impact.

Thats one of the reasons Cambridge-based folksinger Kris Delmhorsts new Songs for a Hurricane (Signature Sounds) is so effective. If anything, it sounds as if shed delivered its 13 numbers from the storms eye. Sure, her lyrics often evince an emotional turbulence thats metaphorical kin to natures rage, but Delmhorst and her sharp studio team have placed them in a spare framework that allows the beauty and the grace of her music to come to the fore.

Right from the opening "Waiting Under the Waves" its obvious that Delmhorst is an extraordinary singer with a big pure tone and a vibrato thats especially wicked when she employs it to make the high end of her voice shiver. The song is about the crumbling pressure that comes when troubles with a long-time lover set in, and how those complicated feelings can make you feel removed from your own body. The albums loveliest song is "Youre No Train"; its slow pace and a texture spun from former Ani DiFranco keyboardist Julie Wolfs piano, producer Billy Conways drums, Andrew Mazzones eight-string bass, and Mark Erellis electric guitar allow the 32-year-old singer to stretch her voice over the passing measures with languid elegance. The song could be a sequel to "Waiting Under the Waves," with the relationship now over and the narrator left alone. Delmhorst herself plays guitar, fiddle, banjo, and cello on the CD.

Other numbers explore the search for freedom and direction, and "Short Work" raises the break-up theme again, this time making short work of that problematic ex-lover. The closing "Mingalay" is an affirmation of survival, albeit one couched as a sailors tale about weathering a storm and regaining ones bearings for port. Its another showpiece for Delmhorsts voice, which buoys the lyrics like a gentle homeward breeze.

The recurring theme of emotional disconnection makes Songs for a Hurricane a concept album of sorts, but if there was any guiding principle, it seems to have been that search for spare perfection. "By sticking my head into the lyrics and building the rest of the music around them, it created kind of suspended moments, where melodies and lyrics emerge," Delmhorst observes. "It brings things back to the chorus."

Twinemen and Morphine drummer Conway, who also produced her previous album, Five Stories (Catalyst/Signature Sounds), was an able partner in Delmhorsts sonic quest. "When we first started recording," she says, "he insisted on having the lyrics for the songs, which for a drummer is relatively rare. We have a nice chemistry together. Were more concerned about getting the right feeling for the songs in the studio than hitting the perfect notes."

Nonetheless, Delmhorst has a knack for hitting the right notes on CD and on stage. That helped her ascend through the Vinyl Avenue String Band to her present status as a solo artist who also works as a multi-instrumentalist sidewoman with Catie Curtis, Jimmy Ryan, and other Boston-based national performers. If you havent heard her in concert and youre a fan of first-rate singer-songwriters based in folk music, youve been remiss: shes a regular headliner at Club Passim and has been part of the "Family Affair" series of shows that have teamed her with Twinemen, Maybe Baby, and Jimmy Ryan all friends who have recorded albums at Morphines Hi-N-Dry studio in Cambridge at the Lizard Lounge and the Middle East. But you get another chance this weekend: Delmhorst will celebrate the release of Songs for a Hurricane with a concert Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Somerville Theatre. Pete Mulvey will open the show.

ANOTHER CELEBRATION will be taking place across the street from Delmhorsts CD-release gig on Saturday: a blues party at Johnny Ds marking the 10th anniversary of disc jockey Holly Harriss Blues on Sunday program on WBOS 92.9 FM. James Montgomery, the J. Geils and Gerry Beaudoin Quartet, Nicole Nelson, Weepin Willie, the Severn Records All-Stars featuring Sugar Ray Norcia and Darrell Nulisch, Bruce Bears, and even the Blues Projects Danny Kalb will all perform, bringing musical echoes of the Delta, the Windy City, and Detroit.

Although the amiable Harris has held down her 9-to-midnight Sunday slot on WBOS for a decade, winning a "Keeping the Blues Alive" award from the Blues Foundation and the New England Blues Societys first "Mai Cramer Award for Excellence in Blues Radio" along the way, her career in radio actually began more than 20 years ago on WMFO 91.5 FM, the community radio station based at Tufts University. "Then I was heard on WGBH as Mai Cramers occasional fill-in," Harris recounts. But musicians knew her first as a friend and a fan. She was instrumental in starting the Boston Blues Society and establishing the annual Boston-blues-band battle at the club Harpers Ferry, which sends one local group each year on to the international competition.

Harris was bitten by the blues bug at 16: "When I first heard B.B. King, it hit me like a lightning bolt and I started collecting the music." While attending Berklee, she says, she realized that "being a performer wasnt for me. But I loved the fact that I could get the message across." She sees that as her mission, both as a blues DJ and in her day job as a social worker. Spending time with artists who make the music she loves from B.B. King to Koko Taylor, Champion Jack Dupree, Luther Allison, and local luminaries like Weepin Willie and Sugar Ray has been her primary reward for her work as an on-air personality. "We have an amazing blues scene here in Boston. Its inclusionary. You can come from another place and if youre a decent player, youre accepted. In some cities you have to pay your dues all over again."

Of course, these days, almost everybody in the blues business is paying dues of some kind. Fewer clubs are open, and audiences are sparser. Sales of blues discs are down. Gigs are tough to come by for all but the highest-profile players or the most-aggressive road dogs. "In a way, Id expect the blues to be taking off right now, because when people are feeling bad, they might turn to the blues for solace," Harris observes. "There will always be waves and resurgences, and I think theres a lot of great blues and a lot more people who might be willing to enjoy it. After all, its happy music, too. Its uplifting. My hope is that theres a new generation coming to the music now, as listeners and players, and that as a result theres going to be more blues being made and more places to hear it. Thats especially important, because enjoying the blues is really about hearing live music."

THOSE TWO EVENTS will keep you hopping Saturday night. But if youre looking for some live music by day, let me direct you to the loading dock at 319 A Street, where singer-songwriter John Cremona will be performing as part of the Fort Point Boston Open Studios at 3 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday. These are the first full-fledged concerts Cremona has given in roughly 15 years, since he left the local music scene to devote more time to exploring conceptual art. His interest in performing and songwriting rekindled recently, and the result is the self-released Rain (Xob Music).

Given his experience as a visual artist, it makes sense this would be a concept album. "What I wanted to do with this album was to be somewhat positive. I started with Peace of Mind and ended with I Know a Place, which are both about finding inner peace. In between, in the other songs, we go in and out of Hell a few times."

Hell, for the residents of Cremonas songs, is a place awash in alcoholism, abandonment, and misery reasonable enough. But even his dark stories are buoyed by the light in his voice. Its a gentle, relaxed instrument with an appealing tenor range set in the service of generous melodies. Most of the tunes center on his acoustic guitar and have a folk- or country-rock orientation, with occasional standout flourishes like the slide guitar that sidles up to his lyrics in the title cut.

Although these shows and Rain are just now announcing his return to the stage, Cremona already has another albums worth of songs written. And people are hearing his musics positive ring. The hushed "I Know a Place," which starts with the lines "I know a place where compassion is true/Where the foot is always in the other shoe/Where all your illusions are left behind/And what you really need you find," has been accepted by "New Songs for Peace," a project of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) aimed to promote peace, cultural acceptance, and understanding worldwide.

Cost: $10   Age limit: 21+    Categories: Blues

Description: David "Honeyboy" Edwards is one of the few remaining original practitioners of the acoustic Delta blues style. As a guitarist and country blues singer, David "Honeyboy" Edwards has been playing" traditional and unadulterated Mississippi Delta blues" since he left his home in Shaw, Mississippi, at the age of fourteen. Though Edwards took up electric blues in the 1960's and has since worked on occasion with a band, he still performs authentic solo acoustic country blues and is living testament of the music's vitality." The New York Times calls Edwards one of "the last authentic performers in blues idiom that developed in central Mississippi during the second and third decades of the century," and Rolling Stone is saying " ... he shows that you don't always need a band to move people's feet (www.mudcat.com)."
