published 2025-11-08

"I know who you are." "That makes one of us." That exchange between a star struck car salesman and Bruce Springsteen gets to the heart of writer/director Scott Cooper's music biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. Like most good biopics, Cooper's film narrows its focus to a specific chapter in its subject's life. In this case it's 1981 and Springsteen's writing and recording of 'Nebraska', considered by many as The Boss's greatest work.

LATEST COLUMNS


"She's Like the Wind"

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling. That's all of the subject of "Lemon Lime Toe of God" that the oil painter Delilah Ray Miske is willing to show us. The rest of the body, she implies, is splayed out on a bed. We know it's summer because the window is closed and the air conditioner is plugged in. There's a pretty good chance that the possessor of the leg is undressed. In one hand, she holds a cellphone, and she might be broadcasting something. On the wall, a small whip-like broomstick hangs. It could be the ride of a tiny witch. It could be the professional tool of a dominatrix.
