Although he was raised in Chicago, he has a special affec- tion for this part of the world. His mother was from Buchan- an, Mich. His fondest childhood memories are of family trips to the soaring sand dunes along the Indiana and Michigan shore- lines of the Great Lake. “We couldn’t afford to stay Allen Turner (center), photographed here with the cast from “Three Oaks Against the World,” overnight in those days, so we’d was a driving force behind the production. drive back home to the South The Poet Laureate program arose from an im- Side,” Turner recalls of those sun-splashed dayspromptu discussion Turner had at an event at The with his mother and his father, an immigrant fromArt Institute of Chicago.

Turner introduced himself to uncle to escape the anti-Semitism of that EasternCollins by saying, “I’m from the town of Three Oaks, European country.Mich., and what would you think about having apoet laureate for a small town?” Collins’ eyes widened and replied, “I think thatwould be great for poetry!” Enough said. Turner ledthe creation of a poetry board for Three Oaks. “This year, we had our 11th poet laureate,” Turn-er says like a proud father when speaking of AylaBatton of Three Oaks. The program has been expanded to honor a youngpoet. This year’s winner is 7-year-old JuliannePrangley of Grand Beach, Mich., who recently com-pleted first grade. Julianne had the Poetry Board“at hello.” Says Turner, “Julianne explained in herapplication letter that she submitted her poems be-cause ‘My heart told me to.’ That was just striking. Allen and his wife, Lynn, have been married for 61 years. “He never saw his father again,” Turner says with a note of sadness. “But he brought his mother and two brothers over years later.” Lynn’s mother immigrated to the United States from Iran in 1920 at age 8 along with her family. “So, you could say Lynn and I are an immigrant story,” he said. High school sweethearts in Chicago, they’ve been married 61 years. The couple has a son, daughter and four grandchildren. “They all love coming here as much as we do,” he said. “They are very committed to being here.” As for the next “good project” in Three Oaks,A scene from John Hanco*ck’s latest film, “The Girls of Summer.” One ofAllen’s songs for the movie, “Love Got In The Way,” has been submitted Turner says, “There’s always something good to be for consideration as best song for the 2021 Academy Awards. done.

Even the bigfinish — every corner of Nolan’s images is burst-ing with, well, something — feels more chaotic thanexhilarating. There are periodic conversations designed to re-lease nuggets of truth — “a ha” moments for theviewers — but the actors tend to speak incrediblyfast, so the information either is incomprehensibleor jargon-laced gibberish. There are many, I suppose, who will poo-poo thisreview, that what Nolan has achieved is ground-breaking. Ironically, 2021 will mark the 20th anni-versary of Nolan’s feature film debut, “Memento,” acrime-thriller told in reserve that dazzled us withhow carefully it toyed with how stories are told.

I suppose it was designedfor multiple viewings to digest its meaning. Thekind of movie where you meet with friends after-ward to discuss it. But is it “fun”? No. To me, “Tenet” is the enemyof fun.
