Thanks for being a member of City Paper! Director Nagisa Oshima’s bold 1968 film operates on a devastating premise: What happens when a Korean man sentenced to death in a Japanese court somehow survives the execution? With a title like Death by Hanging and an opening sequence that lays out a case against capital punishment, one braces the emotions for what must inevitably be a laborious two-hour ordeal. Would you believe the movie is absolutely hilarious?

After years living in a city that the sitting president openly loathed, we were tired. Being able to see new works from various visual artists was a good reminder that outside of the day-to-day, this is still a place and an art scene dominated by forward-thinking individuals.

Thanks for being a member of City Paper! The first line on Halpine’s debut LP, “I’ve got to know if you’ll be around when the big bomb drops down,” doesn’t feel as much like foreboding as a comfortable inevitability. The mostly solo project of Joey Bentley is reminiscent of the type of bedroom recording that became de rigueur in the early Pitchfork era. The sound itself doesn’t suffer from any lo-fi trappings.
