<H2>Eric Anderson<BR>
in concert<BR>
</H2><B>May 20 at 8:00 PM<BR>
</B>Tickets $5 at Bookpeople<BR>
<BR>
Long-time Moscow resident Eric Anderson will return to the area in May for a concert to promote his new CD, “Cataldo.”<BR>
<BR>
Doors open for the concert at 7:30 p.m. with music beginning at 8 p.m., May 20 at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $5 and are available at BookPeople in Moscow or at the door. Anderson, who is musically known as Cataldo, will be performing songs from his album of the same name. The opening act will be another Moscow native, Travis Hasko-Young.<BR>
<BR>
Anderson, 18, recorded “Cataldo,” which took one year to complete, with Martin McGreevy “in the basements and backrooms of Idaho.” McGreevy, a University of Idaho freshman, graduated with Anderson from Moscow High School in 2004. “In addition to fantastic taste and work ethic, he brought the software skills and technical expertise required for a successful recording project,” Anderson said of McGreevy. <BR>
<BR>
Anderson will continue his tour after Moscow. “I have shows in June across the northwest including the Old Fire House in Seattle and the Bossanova Ballroom in Portland,” he said. Cataldo refers to the Cataldo Mission in Idaho, “my beloved home,” Anderson said.<BR>
<BR>
Anderson is a freshman at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. Eric’s Web site is <http://www.cataldomusic.com/> .<BR>

</B>$5 admission<BR>
<BR>
Six local bands will be participating in the first-annual “Rendezvous<BR>
People’s Showcase – a Showcase of Local Talent” on May 21, at 7 p.m. at<BR>
the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in Moscow. The fundraising event<BR>
will showcase talented local bands, which will be competing for the<BR>
opportunity to be warm-up acts at this year’s Rendezvous in the Park<BR>
concert series.<BR>
<BR>
The six bands selected to play at the event are the Alexander-Stephens<BR>
Band, Bare Wires, Brian Gill, Erik Smith, Little Red and the Criminals,<BR>
and Off the Leash. During this fundraising event, each audience member<BR>
will have the opportunity to cast one ballot that will be tallied to<BR>
pick a band as the “popular vote” winner. In a second "vote," each<BR>
audience member will have the opportunity to vote for his/her favorite<BR>
band with cash. The band receiving the most "voted" cash wins this<BR>
fundraising component and will also be chosen to perform at Rendezvous.<BR>
A third band will be determined by the Rendezvous Board of Directors.<BR>
<BR>
Rendezvous in the Park is an annual music festival held in Moscow’s East<BR>
City Park each July. The organization also supports a two-day children's<BR>
arts festival. For many years, Rendezvous has been able to showcase some<BR>
of the country's best musicians, many of whom have gone on to win honors<BR>
such as the Grammy Award, the Country Music Award and the Handy Award.<BR>
The exciting line-up for this year's series on July 21-24, 2005 will be<BR>
Belinda Bowler, Rosie Ledet and the Zydeco Playboys, Jude Bowerman, CoCo<BR>
Montoya, Jim West, Jesse Cook, and the Rendezvous Chamber Orchestra.<BR>
Funds raised at this First-Annual Rendezvous Music Showcase will be used<BR>
to underwrite much of the costs of bringing these groups in, thus making<BR>
ticket prices affordable to local residents.<BR>
<BR>
Tickets to the Showcase are $5 and are available at the door. Tickets for<BR>
Rendezvous in the Park are available on line at <www.moscowmusic.com><BR>

<B>This week’s review-<BR>
<BR>
</B><FONT COLOR="#800000"><H2>Lost Embrace (el Abrazo Partido)<BR>
</H2></FONT><BR>
Directed by Daniel Burman<BR>
Written by Marcelo Birmajer and Mr. Burman<BR>
In Spanish, with English subtitles<BR>
Running time: 1 hour, 40 minutes<BR>
Advisory: The film has no MPAA rating, but contains mature themes<BR>
<BR>
"Lost Embrace" won a grand jury prize and Handler received the best actor award at last year's Berlin International Film Festival. The movie was Argentina's selection for the 2004 best foreign film Oscar. <BR>

</U></I></B><BR>
In a Buenos Aires mini-mall that’s a microcosm of the Argentine melting pot, Ariel (Daniel Hendler), whose mother, Sonia (Adriana Aizemberg), runs a lingerie shop, dreams of emigrating to Europe. That means obtaining his grandma’s documents from the old country, which in turn means forcing her to confront her memories of Holocaust Poland. It also means confronting the mystery of his absent father. When Ariel was born, dad left for Israel, served in the 1973 Six Days War and never returned. Mostly, though, Ariel must deal with the everyday eccentricities of the delightful inhabitants of the mall, whom Burman captures with an affection and an irony that match François Truffaut. <BR>
<BR>

</U></I></B><BR>
The hero of "Lost Embrace" wants nothing more than to bolt the scruffy Buenos Aires shopping mall where he helps his mother run a lingerie shop that may be doing a bit better than most of the other marginal businesses there but doesn't exactly promise a bright future. In his 30s and restless, Ariel Makaroff is angling to move to Poland, a land of opportunity in his view -- it's also the place his Jewish grandmother fled during World War II. But that old dame is reluctant to provide the documents he needs to get a European passport. <BR>
<BR>
Ariel also has issues with his father, who left the family behind to fight for Israel in the Yom Kippur War (1973) and never came back. It's unlikely material for a comedy, but comedy is what Argentine director Daniel Burman makes of it. <BR>
<BR>
The mall is a world of its own, where everyone knows everyone else's business (or thinks they do). We see Ariel interacting with, among others, the Saliganis, the Italian family that runs a radio repair shop and beauty parlor; with the Kims, Korean newlyweds who sell feng shui items; with Rita, the sex goddess who works in the Internet shop and has an ambiguous relationship with an older man there; and with Ariel's brother, Joseph, who wanted to be a rabbi and now runs a somewhat shady import-export business. <BR>
<BR>
Meanwhile, Ariel's mother has kept the family business going, but seems to spend much of her time making and eating lekach (honey cake). The lekach, which everyone seems to be munching, is a running gag, one of the mall's idiosyncrasies that Burman delights in showing (among them is a competition between deliverymen pushing dollies -- the mall's equivalent of a day at the races). <BR>
<BR>
The film is a gentle comedy that tackles some serious issues, resolving them in a way that may be less than profound but carries emotional heft. Burman's use of handheld camera and his editing convey the messiness of life in the mall's large extended family, but he never allows the hurly-burly of the setting to overwhelm Ariel's story. <BR>
<BR>
<B><I><U>As reviewed by A. O. Scott writing for the New York Times<BR>
</U></I></B><BR>
''Lost Embrace,'' a scruffy, engaging comedy directed by Daniel Burman, takes place in a down-at-the-heels shopping mall in Buenos Aires, a cluster of shops populated by multiethnic characters who are just idiosyncratic enough to avoid being stereotypes. <BR>
<BR>
The atmosphere at the mall, though hectic, is also a little weary, as if the place and the rich, cacophonous urban life it represents were gradually running out of energy. The proprietors of most of the stores are growing old, and the younger people seem restless, either running in place or scheming to move on.<BR>
<BR>
Our guide through this self-contained world of kibitzing and commerce is an anxious young man, Ariel, who sees in his surroundings the reflection of his own identity crisis. He is moody and manic -- a character out of Philip Roth or Neil Simon, whose comic anxiety is inflected with a romantic, Latin American melancholy. <BR>
<BR>
Mr. Burman, who wrote the script with Marcelo Birmajer, presents the story in a casual, almost distracted fashion that matches his hero's scattershot attention span. There is a lot going on -- preparations for a big race between deliverymen pushing hand trucks, semi-clandestine love affairs between various denizens of the mall, noisy arguments between aging businessmen -- but ''Lost Embrace'' never feels strenuous or overdone. The tenderness of the family drama at its center, and the deep, hard-to-articulate feelings of a son for his enigmatic father and his heroically patient mother, emerge with a charming haphazardness. This is a small movie about a small world, but its modesty is part of what makes it durable and satisfying.<BR>
<BR>
<B><U>As reviewed by Sean Axmaker writing for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer<BR>
</U></B><BR>
Ariel Makaroff, an Argentine-born Polish Jew and college dropout, isn't exactly caught up in an identity crisis. That would suggest some sort of urgency about it. Ariel's only urgent task is to secure a Polish passport and escape to Europe. Because ... well, it seems as good a plan as any.<BR>
<BR>
"Lost Embrace" is a film of minor pleasures. Burman recognizes the emotional bruises friends and family cause and he doesn't judge when his characters are unable to forgive and unwilling to understand. He simply gives them another chance to heal the wounds, with the confidence that they just may get it right the next time.<BR>
