...approaches his 60th year, something is changing in Murakami's heart. His status as a truly global writer is assured - over 100,000 copies of the English version of his most recent novel, After Dark, have been printed since its release in May - but with the world conquered, and precocious undergraduates from Sydney to San Francisco at his feet, the postmodernist master dismisses the foreign adulation with a tired hand, and finds himself returning to the world of his parents and his birth. Despite the title - and a cameo appearance by Colonel Sanders of KFC fame - 2002's Kafka...
...soggy climes certainly have not dampened soaring couture fantasies. John Galliano gave the house of Dior a rocking 60th anniversary salute with an over-the-top high drama collection that included 45 supermodels, each decked out as a vision of an artist who had somehow touched Christian Dior's life and spirit.

He received the 60th Anniversary Prize, Frears announced, "for his career, and because he made a lovely film...
...personal note, as we conclude our 34th Cannes festival, and our seventh reporting for TIME.com. Those smiling people on the Palais stage tonight weren't the only winners at Cannes' 60th birthday bash. On Thursday, Festival President Gilles Jacob presented medals to 30 international film critics, all veterans of Cannes coverage, and two of the awards went to Mary and Richard Corliss, and we were honored to receive them. We hope to be worthy of them, and you our readers, if we're here for Cannes' 61st festival. With pleasure and hope, we say, "A l'annee prochaine...
