The Village Voice

The Village Voice was a pioneering American publication focused on news and culture, recognized as the first alternative newsweekly in the nation. Established in 1955 by Dan Wolf, Ed Fancher, John Wilcock, and Norman Mailer, it served as a voice for New York City's creative community. Although it ended its print run in 2017 and halted online updates in 2018, its archives remain available for public access online. In January 2021, the website resumed publishing original stories, and in April 2021, it released a spring print edition.

Review: ‘Caught by the Tides’ Goes Back in Time to Arrive There and Now

5 days ago | villagevoice.com | Michael Atkinson

It’s nearly impossible to watch Jia Zhang-ke’s new film, Caught by the Tides — a fractured, circumstantial portrait of the Chinese quotidian in the 21st century — without thinking about how he made it: retrospectively, so the film is from the start as much about Jia’s filmmaking arc as it is about his country.
Review: ‘Friendship’ Plumbs the Human Condition Through Surrealist Satire

6 days ago | villagevoice.com | Chad Byrnes

Have you ever texted someone and never received a response? Well, A24’s comedy of bad manners, Friendship, taps into that frustration … with a power drill. Director Andrew DeYoung’s exploration of broken masculinity and middle-aged isolation manages to be the funniest — and the cringiest — film of the year.
How Kyle Reid’s Interface Design is revolutionizing AI outputs

6 days ago | villagevoice.com | Jon Stojan

It would seem that every day, AI-powered software has appeared out of nowhere and is the mainstay of the future of business. The future of major software companies depends wholly on whether they choose to adapt and evolve by integrating AI tooling into their products. It’s becoming clearer every day that the companies who fail to do so will become obsolete in just a few short years.
WYLDLIFE Got Hives at Webster Hall

1 week ago | villagevoice.com | Brett Callwood

Dave Feldman: Challenging ask this is, any sort of “best I’ve ever ____” question. “Best play.” “Best lay.” “Best chimichanga.” My recollection fails me too often after decades of sloppy living. All my days and nights bleed into one blob. Then there’s the issue of change: taste, style, and memory are all prone to massive rearrangement from one hour to the next.
Review: A ‘Bonjour Tristesse’ Update Swoons Amid Riviera Vacation Porn

1 week ago | villagevoice.com | Michael Atkinson

It’s a curious project to remake in the 2020s — Françoise Sagan’s slim scandal-smash 1954 novel, published when she was 18 and less than a decade after the end of WWII, pseudo-naively skewering as it does the haute Euro-bourgeoisie of the day from a narcissistic teenager’s perspective. Not to mention the big-budget 1958 Otto Preminger filmization, which gave beleaguered teen Jean Seberg her nakedest moment in American movies.
In ‘Just in Time,’ Jonathan Groff Shines as Bobby Darin - The Village Voice

2 weeks ago | villagevoice.com | Elizabeth Zimmer

Who among you remembers Connie Francis? Sandra Dee? The Copa? If you’re one who does, then perhaps Just in Time, the new Bobby Darin bio/jukebox musical/nightclub act will be just your coupe of champagne. If you’re not, well, it’s a blast anyway. But there’s something missing at its heart.
Leah Nawy was Cut Loose By Fiona Apple

2 weeks ago | villagevoice.com | Brett Callwood

Leah Nawy: I remember where I was when I heard the track “I Want You to Love Me” for the first time. It’s the end of summer, 2021 is coming to an end, I’m walking in the Lower East Side listening to my favorite artists’ playlists, nursing my first real heartbreak. I grew up playing classical piano, and when that familiar upright sound came in, I felt this immediate pull. I didn’t know it then, but I was listening to the opening track of an absolutely life-changing and formative album for me.
Heart Triumphs at Radio City Music Hall

2 weeks ago | villagevoice.com | Mary Lyn Maiscott

Dreamboat Annie. Dreamboat Nancy. The Seattle sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson: one shreds with her voice, the other sings with her guitar. (The poet Louise Glück wrote, “Of two sisters / one is always the watcher, / one the dancer.” Not in this family.) Their co-written 1975 song “Dreamboat Annie,” from their band Heart’s debut album of the same title, speaks presciently of “riding on the diamond waves,” but they could not have known how sparkling and how high those waves would be.
