• First Time at an Orgy?

  Ruler of the orgy
  Without rules, we are nothing. This, anyway, is what I’ve been thinking lately, as I drift somewhat aimlessly through my nights and days, realizing ever more clearly that my lack of an internal sense of order or even much in the way of a code to live by has necessarily resulted in an inescapable sense of ennui, one that could probably be gotten rid of if I just had any discipline, or some sort of sense of external structure. Or maybe relevant pharmaceuticals. Bu

  The WondersDirected by Alice RohrwacherOpens October 30
  Alice Rohrwacher’s The Wonders has one of the best opening sequences I’ve seen in a while, a marvel (appropriately enough) of mystery, beauty, intimacy, easy charm, but also economy, as it introduces the film’s beekeeping family. Cars appear as will-o’-wisps in total darkness, their spotlights passing over children asleep in a stone farmhouse; one of these youngsters has to go to the toilet, leading everyone else to

  Unless you have kids, gone are the days of trick-or-treating door to door on Halloween. So what can adults do to celebrate the holiday, besides stay home and watch scary movies, or join the drunken crush at some massive warehouse party, surrounded by a swarm of sexy pizza rats? Keep it classy this weekend, by attending one of the following restaurant-based shindigs instead, from a masquerade ball at Kimoto Rooftop Beer Garden, to a six-course Day of the Dead dinner at Fonda.

  Christopher Buckley likes to drink. And, as the owner of two fantastic Brooklyn Bars—Hanson Dry in Clinton Hill and Branch Ofc in Crown Heights—he noticed something about drinkers that he wanted to fix. “People don’t know how to order what they want, because they don’t know what they like,” said Buckley. “I want to help people take responsibility for their own drinks.”

  The young playwright Stephen Karam seems most interested in human responses to adversity, with a special emphasis placed on the physical challenges of illness. His 2012 play Sons of the Prophet was an extraordinarily sensitive piece of work that featured revelatory moments between the actors, and the best scenes in that play went beyond any clear point of exchange between people and into scarily uncharted emotio
