CLASSICAL MUSIC - (^) Hear Verdi’s ‘Requiem’
A North American debut.
The Shed, November 19 to 24.
In a profession known for charismaticcontrol
freaks, the Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis
may outdo his colleagues in demandingandget-
ting near-fanatical attention to detail intheservice
of unchained excitement. He foundedtheorches-
tra musicAeterna in, of all places, the Siberiancity
of Perm and used the Perm-a-freeze conditionsas
a form of discipline: His musicians devotemore
time to rehearsals and recordings thananywest-
ern union would allow. The result is hyperspeed
tempos, performances that glitter withspecificity,
and a host of converts to classical music.

MOVIES - (^) See Wave s
Get carried away.
In theaters November 15.
Trey Edward Shults’s fancy-pants thirdfeature—it
owes its title to a Kanye West song aboutemotions
that crash like waves but don’t die—istworelated
stories. The first, which charts the relationship
between a daddy-driven high-school athleteand
the girlfriend who adds to his pressure,is swerv-
ing, jangling, pitched like a bat out of hell.(Kelvin
Harrison Jr. is the son, Sterling K.Brownthe
father who’s hard of body and mind.) Thesecond,
which centers on the athlete’s kid sister’stender,
halting, exploratory love, is a jarringchange in
tempo. The whole doesn’t gel, but thepartsget
their hooks in you. david edelstein

Anold-fashionedrouser.
In theaters November 15.
A formula underdog racing movie that’s so smash-
ingly written, acted, and directed (by James Man-
gold) it seems fresh. Based on a true story,it centers
on two charismatic purists, legendary ex-racer Car-
roll Shelby (Matt Damon) and insolentBrit Ken
Miles (Christian Bale, whose cheekbones look cut,
as if to give him aerodynamic advantage). The
imperious Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) throws
money at them to crush the smug Enzo Ferrari in
the 24-hour race at Le Mans, but winning requires
not just daring but the higher mathematics of
torque. Mangold puts you inside the vehicles, so
you never forget the drivers’ chances of becoming a
smoking mash of tin and innards. d.e.
