‘Jane’ paints a sumptuous
portrait of a living legend
“Jane,”
the
latest
documentary
from
director
Brett Morgen (“Kurt Cobain:
Montage of Heck”), is nothing
short of a small miracle. First,
there’s the fact that the film is
the product of a hundred hours
of prime footage once thought to
be lost before being discovered
in 2014. Second, the subject of
the footage, the conservation
biologist and chimp researcher
Jane Goodall, whom everyone
knows
but
no
one
knows
really anything about, is a
mesmerizing figure with a story
long-worthy of telling.
But let’s start with the
logistics.
In
her
mid-20s,
Goodall, fascinated by nature
but not tinged by academic
orthodoxy, was directed by her
employer to travel to Africa to
conduct observational research
on primates. She went to the
Gombe in 1960, which sits at
the western edge of Tanzania
(it has since become a national
park). Accompanied by her
mother, Goodall began a study
of the chimpanzees in the park,
at first keeping her distance but
then over time moving closer
and closer.
The
footage,
captured
mostly by Hugo van Lawick,
a
Dutch
photographer
for
National
Geographic
who
himself becomes a character
in Goodall’s life, is stunning.
There’s a reason van Lawick
got his coveted job, and the
film is at its best when it lets
the footage speak for itself.
Extreme
close-ups
on
the
insects creeping and crawling
among the grass, dusk shots
of Goodall sitting against the
darkening sky, chimps slipping
somewhat
lackadaisically
through towering trees. Not
to mention the color, which
is rich as the finest works of
Fauvism. When the color fades
into gruesomely edited black-
and-white
sequences,
which
are thankfully rare in the film’s
brisk 90-minute running time,
“Jane” loses most of its luster.
That’s not to say that the
film offers nothing by way of
the
traditional
biographical
documentary. The 83-year-old
Goodall’s eloquent narration,
constructed
partly
from
interviews with Morgen and
partly from her own writing,
allows us to exist inside her
wonder-filled
young
mind.
Morgen’s interview questions
verge on unimaginative, but
Goodall’s responses are ever-
enlightening peeks into one
of the 20th century’s most
revered
figures.
Overlaying
Goodall’s writings, read aloud
by the woman herself, over
actual footage of her young self
is magical. A freak accident of
discovery and timing, sure, but
it’s a treasure nonetheless.
The score by famed composer
Philip
Glass
(“Visitors”)
is
gorgeous, if overpowering at
times. Often, it can tie in a
sense of tragedy where it does
not seem to exist, a complaint
I’ve had about numerous Glass
scores, but here, it’s a minor
quibble. The score contains at
its core a sense of wondrous
fascination and discovery, or
perhaps nearing it. It’s elegant
and though I wonder what the
film would be like with zero
score, with scored only by the
sounds of nature, my hunch is
that van Lawick’s cameras were
not designed to capture noise.
Glass is a nice consolation.
Far
from
conventional,
“Jane” transmutes a simple
biographical tale into a fully
immersive
and
sensory
experience. In fact, the film’s
allegiance
to
completing
her biography can come at
the expense of experiencing
Jane’s life. Those moments
of truth — not biography but
documentary at its core — are
so fundamentally moving that
to turn away from the chimps
crawling around each other, or
Goodall raising her son Grub
in Gombe, or Goodall laughing
with van Lawick, just feels
wrong.
Fortunately,
Morgen
chooses to stick with the footage
much of the time. Lucky us.

FILM REVIEW
“This is the first time I’ve
written to you / and I know
now why they call me little
witch.”
In “Solve for Desire,” a slim
collection of poems, Caitlin
Bailey imagines and explores
the lives of Georg Trakl and
his younger sister Grete, to
whom Bailey dedicates the
work. Georg Trakl was a late
19th-century
Austrian
poet
who struggled with addiction,
served in the army, attempted
suicide and died of a drug
overdose that may have been
intentional. Grete committed
suicide at a party a few years
later. The extent of their
relationship is unknown.
The poems in “Solve for
Desire” are consumed with
the wells of wanting that lie
underneath our more innocent,
more
easily
articulated
wishes. She examines both
savage desire and raw grief,
wondering how memories of
ourselves exist in words on
both sides. “Pigeons” considers
the jarring dissonance between
literal anatomy, emotional pain
and the instability of them
both. “Poem About Desire,”
a slight 22 words, captures
the fiercely inconsequential
beauty of small things, of
runaway moments crystallized
in amber. The final few lines
of “The Heart is to a Pleasant
Thing,”
without
directly
referencing
its
subject
matter,
reproduces
the
moment
that
uncertainty
hardens
into
determination in
someone’s
eyes.
“Right
Light”
finds the hint of
hope found in the
circumlocution of
a prophecy. More than a few
poems feel eerily reminiscent
of the language of incantations,
echoing cadences that have
slipped through our memories.
The poems do not wander;
they stay intensely focused on
their subjects. A few images are
woven throughout the whole
collection. Palms, wrists and
necks are referenced several
times; snake imagery lies coiled
throughout. Occasionally, the
unpredictability of a phrase
verges on a lack of clarity,
and
the
introduction
of
enjambment in later poems is
startling. But eventually, they
coalesce into a communication
of the visceral ache of loving
someone
who
wishes
for
deliverance; the misery of
wanting to tell them about it
when they aren’t
there to listen;
the
struggle
to
translate
wounds
into
words.
Desire
can
dwindle and it
can die. That’s
not
Bailey’s
concern. Rather,
she focuses on
how desire can consume like a
flame held to a piece of paper
dipped in oil, leaving nothing
but a trace of smoke. She’s
painting the oily gradient of
darker desires, the eroticism
of an inappropriate possession
that verges on a question more
weighted than being ready to
die for someone: being ready
to live for them. It’s a question
that will never — and maybe
shouldn’t — be solved.
‘Solve for Desire’ looks for
answers, finds questions

Young Thug is the king
Yaaah-ahoooo!
Inewanewanewanev
like.
Inewaevery single girl, betcha.
Inewasmoke-daddywholeword
nada. Yaaah-ahoooo!
The gibberish above is my
interpretation of a melody in the
song “Feel It” by Young Thug.
On paper, the hodgepodge of
vowels and consonants reads
like absolute nonsense, but on
the track, Thug is able to string
these
relatively
nonsensical
sounds together to develop a
melody so interesting that his
voice essentially becomes an
instrument. Young Thug is the
melody master of mumble rap,
but also much more; he is the
saving grace of the fledgling
genre.
Today’s mainstream rap is
dominated by warbling and
mumbling. Stars like 21 Savage
and Lil Yachty have made names
for themselves by ditching
lyricism for a more laid-back
sound. The difference between
these
rappers
and
Young
Thug, however, is that Thug
supplements his lack of lyricism
with
artistic
substance,
whereas 21 and Yachty leave
their listeners with a lackluster
and chordless beat void of any
creative inspiration. Listen to
his track “Kanye West” and
you can hear the difference:
Thug incorporates a dynamic,
syncopated beat into a song
with real chord progressions
and engaging instrumentation.
The track is not your typical
trap rap, and Young Thug is not
your typical trap rapper.
Thug’s defining quality is
his voice. No one can mistake
the blend of pleasantly strained
falsetto and eerily warbled
baritone for any other rapper.
Some love it, some hate it, but
regardless, it’s unmistakable.
The sounds he can produce are
certainly unique, but Thug’s
real talent lies in what he can
do with those sounds. The
Atlanta mumbler has the power
to make his listeners feel, so
much so that his
words
become
irrelevant.
Grantland
contributor
Shea
Serrano
describes
this
ability
perfectly: “In a
lot of instances,
Young Thug isn’t
making
music
that you have to
unravel in terms
of meaning. His
whole
thing
is
how
do
I
feel?
How
am
I connected to
this verse? He’s just trying to
generate this feeling, and the
feeling is the meaning. It’s that
simple.” Comprehensible lyrics
or not, Young Thug elicits
emotion in his music, a feat
that 21 and Yachty simply can’t
pull off with their unrefined
deliveries.
Not only is Young Thug a cut
above other mumble rappers
with his high-quality beats and
captivating melodies, but he is
also transforming mumble rap
into a creative and progressive
genre. Similar to The Beatles’s
introduction of art to rock ‘n’
roll with their inventive and
all-encompassing
production
of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts
Club Band brought listeners
a
creative
experience
that
revealed the artistic potential
of their genre. Young Thug is
introducing a new art to the
world of wordless rap. The
JEFFERY album cover says it
all: Posing in a blue and purple
pastel
colored,
Victorian-
era dress, Thug signals to
his listeners that his music is
more than a shallow glimpse at
urban life in Atlanta. Mumble
rap has become
an
artistic
experience
that
aims
to
challenge
rap
entirely.
How
many
Atlanta
rappers will you
find
sporting
dresses?
Thug’s
genre-bending
is
especially
evident
in
his
newest
album,
Beautiful
Thugger
Girls.
With the LP’s
first
track,
“Family Don’t Matter,” Thug
surprises his listeners with
acoustic guitar and ethereal
vocals that one might find
on a Lumineers track. Then,
a
classic
and
tight
Thug
beat
drops,
accompanied
by a melody with country
undertones
and
the
rare
decipherable
line,
“Country
Bill made a couple milly.” The
best part: The song retains
the “feel good” quality Thug’s
music is known for.
This eclectic mix of sounds
and genres is exactly why
Young Thug is the untouchable
king of mumble rap. Would Lil
Yachty be able to pull off such a
foreign yet incredibly engaging
sound? I seriously doubt it —
the man doesn’t even know the
difference between a clarinet
and a cello.
