CALENDAR Creepy, hallucinatory and profoundly unnerving, Polish director Marcin Wrona’s Demon is a posses- sion film unlike anything you’ve seen. A modern retelling of the Jewish dybbuk myth about an evil spirit that inhabits the soul of a dead person, the film takes place almost exclusively during a tradi- tional wedding in which the behavior of the groom (the wonderful Israeli actor Itay Tiran) — a Londoner marrying into an extended Polish family — becomes exceedingly, well, strange and disturbing. The film, with its gorgeous gothic cinematography and ex- cellent script, is effective as straight-out horror, but underlying the existential malaise lies a deeper mes- sage: the groom’s possession comes to mirror the echoes across the European countryside of the Ho- locaust, and how forced amnesia and outright denial of the horrors of Auschwitz create a lurking guilt and despair capable of springing up with malevolence at any time. Demon plays 5:15 pm and 9:30 pm Friday through Sunday, and 5:30 pm Monday through Thursday, at Broadway Metro. — Rick Levin High Desert Dreams: The Lost Homesteads of the Fort Rock Basin photography exhibit by Rich Bergeman, Benton County Hitorical Museum, Philomath.
