Your Weekend in Film

Brush off the work week’s dust with a dash to the movies and remind yourself of the good things that come with being resilient. In the (incredible) case that no new films here strike a chord, don’t forget that still playing are Kingsman: The Golden Circle and the box-office juggernaut It.

Monk Parker’s Sad Clown

Monk Parker’s music exudes from some otherworldly plain, an elastic space of chiaroscuro sadness where brief glimpses of light fall only to cast shadow.

Reflecting such – or perhaps in the parlance of the Canadians’ previous album, Reflektor-ing such – was the notably sparse crowd Wednesday night at the Frank Erwin Center. Not that it slowed the Montreal collective for a single moment.
