IN THEATERS SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Reminiscent of ALICE IN WONDERLAND and LABRYNTH, MIRRORMASK is a fantasy tale of an intelligent young girl on a journey through a magical world. It is also a visually astounding piece of filmmaking, updating the fairy-tale quest in a coming-of-age story imbued with dark beauty. Written by Neil Gaiman (SANDMAN) and directed by frequent collaborator and illustrator Dave McKean, the film mixes live action and animation, and manages to keep the graphic novelists aesthetic largely intact: the frames are full of weirdly-skewed perspectives, foggy patches, and mismatched textures that appear grandly decayed. Stephanie Leonidas plays Helena, a young girl who juggles in her fathers circus, but longs for a normal life. She spends her free time drawing elaborate, fantastical black-and-white pictures which cover every surface of her bedroom. One night, after an argument with her mother (Gina McKee) during which Helena lets fly some rather painful pronouncements, Mom falls ill with an unspecified affliction. As the family waits for news and the circus struggles financially, Helena blames herself for the misfortune. The night before her mothers surgery, Helena is mysteriously transported to a world which bears a strong resemblance to her own drawings, and is populated by strange creatures who follow an even stranger logic. Helena and her traveling companion, fellow juggler Valentine (Jason Barry), sign on to find a mysterious charm which will wake the queen of the city--also played by McKee--from her deep sleep, defeating the forces of darkness and returning Helena home. The films outstanding art direction is complemented by witty dialogue and some genuinely creepy moments (the words dont let them see youre afraid are chill-inducing). Meanwhile, Leonidass performance is remarkable, maintaining a likeability, charm, and freshness that is all the more amazing considering it was delivered against a green screen, with her special-effec

Beneath the Underdog
Part novella, part autobiography, BENEATH THE UNDERDOG is the legendary jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus's eccentric history of himself. He cracks his head on the bedroom dresser when he is two, becomes a teenage pimp, and shares a California bandstand with trumpeter Miles Davis, saxophonist Charlie Parker, and pianist Dodo Marmarosa. There are tequila-fueled trips to Mexico, love affairs, and nervous breakdowns; but most of all there is music. Mingus's individualistic style borrows much from the stream-of-consciousness approach of Beat authors such as Jack Kerouac, and parts of BENEATH THE UNDERDOG are reminiscent of Kerouac's lyrical flights of fancy as he describes listening to jazz. But Mingus's descriptions of actually playing the music are always rooted in the earthy back and forth of bandstand banter, and the gritty reality of a musician's day-to-day existence. BENEATH THE UNDERDOG is best approached as an improvisation on an autobiographical theme--Mingus bends, twists,...
