...suppose Maddin could make his movies anywhere. But no one else could make them. A crazy-smart mix of avant- and retro-garde, they address big topics (corporate greed, national identity, pre-adolescent lust, family betrayal) in a style that suggests an antique silent film rescued from a dump heap - on Mars.

He had a chance during an address last Friday to Vienna-based diplomats to lay out his broad vision of world affairs, but he chose not to take it. With key figures at the International Atomic Energy Agency present, for example, he made no mention of growing tensions between the West and Iran. Still, Benedict may soon...
