Art comes to life in Polish director Lech Majewski’s The Mill and the Cross, which re-imagines the world of Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel (played by Rutger Hauer) and his 1564 painting The Way To Calvary, which re-imagines Christ carrying the cross through Flanders, escorted through a crowd of peasants by occupying Spaniards. Robert Ebert calls it “a film of great beauty and attention.” It screens Jan. 11 and 12 at Vancity Theatre. For more info and show times, call 604-683-FILM (3456) or go to viff.org.
New York City’s Brazilian Girls is known for blending bossa nova, electronica, jazz and pop into downtempo, groove-laden jams for hip, attractive audiences. So we’re expecting good things when half the band performs a DJ set the Biltmore Cabaret. Hear for yourself when bassist Jesse Murphy and drummer Aaron Johnston get behind the decks Jan. 12, 9 p.m. Tickets at Red Cat and Zulu or online at ticketweb.ca.
Contemporary dance collectives The Contingency Plan and Tara Cheyenne Performance team up for an evening of atmospheric music, experimental choreography and life-size, clear polycarbonate cubes, which illustrate “the countless ways we experience being alone and the struggle we face between belonging within ourselves and outside in the world.” Someone’s been reading our diary again. Billed as The TCP Show, it runs Jan. 11 to 14 at the Firehall Arts Centre. For tickets, call 604-689-0926 or go to firehallartscentre.ca.
