Sargent, Annet Malherbe<br \/>\nScreened at: Critics\u2019 link, NYC, 6\/10\/21<br \/>\nOpens: June 15, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even some feminists understand that few women should qualify as firefighters.  Can they lift 300 pounds, the weight of the average American?  That\u2019s a job for men, for the most part.  But a baton: how much does it weigh? Under a pound? Then there is every reason that a woman can do the job of conducting an orchestra as well as a man.  Yet there are probably more female doormen in Manhattan than women who aspire to be orchestral conductors.  <\/p>\n<p>So along comes U.S. born Marin Alsop, determined to break the sound barrier.  \u201cThe  Conductor\u201d is directed by Bernadette Wegenstein (yes, women get directing jobs), obviously a progressive, given that her doctoral degree from Vienna University is accomplished with a dissertation on the portrayal in the media of the ActUp movement. And in one of her films, \u201cThe Good Breast,\u201d she criticizes the overuse of mastectomies.  <\/p>\n<p>Marin Alsop anchors the documentary, leading us in the audience to see how with determination she becomes the first woman to direct an American classical group of musicians, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.  She becomes a mentor to other women who dream of becoming conductors including one African-American man who notes that conducting has been his lifelong dream.  I know that every kid dreams of being an astronaut, and even musical tots may want to be the next Benny Goodman or Louis Armstrong, Artur Rubenstein or Glenn Gould.  But conductor?<\/p>\n<p>What does a conductor do anyway?  In the film\u2019s most incisive scene, Leonard Bernstein, the last century\u2019s most gifted and versatile composer-conductor-pianist-lecturer, steps away from a rehearsing orchestra for a moment and asks: Do these people need a conductor? Aren\u2019t they doing just fine without one?  Sadly, the question is not really answered, so viewers may still think that conductors are little more than human metronomes.<\/p>\n<p>Alsop is nothing if not cosmopolitan. She has spent eight years conducting in Sao Paulo, apparently picking up the Portuguese language, speaking German while she conducts the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. Nor is she a snob that would not listen to anything not seriously classical, having directed an all-women\u2019s swing band, playing such great hits as \u201cIn the Mood.\u201d  (If you like films about music, be sure to check out the 1953 movie of that title starring James Stewart.)  This swing band brings me back to my days at Tufts when each year, Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the Boston Pops, does renditions of such serious classical greats as \u201cPop Goes the Weasel.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>By way of instruction, she tells one young woman studying to be a conductor to be like the person who is suddenly confronted by an angry bear.  No\u2026don\u2019t play dead.  Bad advice.  Instead make yourself as big as you can.  There\u2019s an attitude that happily many women, at least in the West, have taken to heart.<\/p>\n<p>The soundtrack is as stirring as anything from the huge musical \u201cIn the Heights,\u201d with more than just ten-second snippets from Dvorak\u2019s New World Symphony, Mozart\u2019s The Magic Flute, Shostakovich\u2019s Fifth, Mahler\u2019s Fifth, the famous opening notes of Beethoven\u2019s Fifth, some of Rimski-Korsakov\u2019s Scheherazade.  (Considering some of these picks, one wonders whether the folks making \u201cThe Conductor\u201d have liquor on their minds.)<\/p>\n<p>Where there\u2019s music, there is hope for humanity.  This optimism comes up near the conclusion, which makes one think that instead of selling assault rifles and fighter jets to our allies, we should just train them to make music, not war. <\/p>\n<p>The film has been selected to play at this year\u2019s Tribeca Film Festival.  In English with snippets of German and Portuguese, English subtitles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>90 minutes.  \u00a9 2021 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B+<br \/>\nActing \u2013 A-<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B+<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE CONDUCTOR Nylon Films Reviewed for Shockya.com &#038; BigAppleReviews.net linked from Rotten Tomatoes by: Harvey Karten Director: Bernadette Wegenstein Writer: Bernadette Wegenstein, Stefan Fauland Cast: Marin Alsop, Christanne de Bruijn, Benjamin Wainwright, Scott Turner Schofield, Seumas F.
