Think of Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, but minus the hybrid human-swan CGI and more scenes about how an excessive pursuit of artistic perfection ruins family relationships – that’s The Audition, or in its original German name, Das Vorspiel. Director Ina Weisse’s drama film begins realistically enough: middle-aged, middle-class music teacher Anna (Nina Hoss) takes a student Alexander (Ilja Monti) under her wing and gives him violin lessons in preparation for an audition.

Money for Something: Sex Work. Drugs. Need. Life. By Mia Walsch (Echo Publishing $29.99) Reviewed by Aponi Kailash Content warnings: suicide attempt, self-harm, drug-use (injection and otherwise). Please keep yourself safe. Sex sells. Life… now that is harder to profit from. When reviewing a memoir, commenting on somebody’s narrative in its raw and emotion-filled glory is challenging.

 We would like to thank all the writers, artists, and subeditors who made this edition possible!
