Writer-director Whit Stillman (Metropolitan, Barcelona, Last Days of Disco) is back after a 14-year absence. His latest film, Damsels in Distress, is another preppy comedy of manners, starring the lovely and talented Greta Gerwig as the quirky leader of a group of female do-gooders who aim to improve their campus through suicide-prevention counselling, good grooming and tap dance. It opens April 20 at International Village.
One of the more criminally underappreciated and talented singer-songwriters toiling away today, Seattle’s Damien Jurado drops by the Biltmore April 21 with nearly a dozen albums of Nick Drake meets Springsteen folk-rock behind him. Jurado’s latest is called Maraqopa. Peter Wolf Crier opens. Tickets at Red Cat, Zulu, The River Vintage or online at ticketweb.ca.
Is it just us, or is Mike Reno’s headband getting bigger the older he gets? And when did Mickey Rourke join the band? All of these questions and more will be answered when Loverboy unleashes its well-oiled, classic rock canon on a sea of sweaty cougars and manthers grinding against one another to “Turn Me Loose,” April 21 at the Commodore. Tickets at all Ticketmaster outlets.
