Strauss Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:15:47 +0000 http://blastmagazine.com/?p=31658#comment-14871 I saw ("Untitled") at a sneak preview in Washington DC on 11/1/09. I loved it; it was amusing (in fact, laugh-till-the-milk-comes-out-of-your-nose hilarious in spots) without being excessively cruel (and I am the kind of person who finds Woody Allen and 'Seinfeld' to be excessively cruel). Anyone who has worked playing piano for parties or a cocktail lounge will immediately see how wonderfully accurate is the sociology of the screenplay and acting. There is a fight scene between the two brothers, carried out at night in a galley-type kitchen with darkened rooms at each end of the kitchen. As the brawl ranges up and down the kitchen and into the adjoining rooms, most of the scene is in darkness, with only the sounds of the fighting (mostly bodies knocking into kitchenware and appliances) apparent to the audience -- and it sounds shockingly like the music composed and played by Adrian!! I'd like to specifically commend the performance (not mentioned in any of the reviews that I have seen) of the young woman who portrays the English horn player in Andrian's performance group.
