Japanese anime comes to the Hopkins Center

By Alice Gomstyn | February 11, 2000

Japan's most successful feature film will soon be playing at the Hop. "Princess Mononoke" ("Mononoke Hime" in Japanese) is part of the Dartmouth Film Society's Winter term series, "The Last Decade: Movies of the Nineties." Dubbed into English for its release in the United States last October, the film features the voices of several notable American actors, including Gillian Anderson, Claire Danes, and Billy Bob Thorton. The movie is the latest full-length animated film from director Hayao Miyazaki, who has received critical acclaim both in Japan and in other countries for films such as "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and "Laputa: Castle in the Sky." "Princess Mononoke," like many of Miyazaki's other films, is an action-adventure movie set in a sleek style of Japanese animation known as anime. The story takes place in fifteenth-century Japan during an age known as the Muromachi Era.

Legendary artists join Coast for concert

By Laura Tepper | February 11, 2000

The Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Don Glasgo, will share the stage with special guests alto saxophonist Marshall Allan, trumpeter Michael Ray and the world-renowned Sun Ra Arkestra in a special concert tomorrow in Spaulding Auditorium. In trying to coax out of them what the audience might expect to hear this weekend, I got the impression that we shouldn't expect anything. The first set will be mostly swing, but "because it's Ra, it's not typical swing," Glasgo explained.
