...choreography does shine through in several instances. Most notable were the two principal couples: the Snow Queen and King (Pollyana Ribeiro and Alex Lapshin) and the Sugerplum Fairy and Cavalier (Larissa Ponomerenko and Giuseppe Picone) in their grand pas de deux. Overall the corps de ballet performed well, although the snowflakes in Act I lacked the precision of the lovely Act II flowers...
...wrap-up that comes across as contrived (the same problem plagued Saving Private Ryan). Instead of ending the film in the present, it would have been much more powerful to cut it off in the past. Still, despite this minor blemish, the film is a spectacular cinematic achievement, and although Oscar time is still far away, The Green Mile seems destined to grab the Academy's attention...

But remaining in the federation looks increasingly unviable for Djukanovic's government as long as Milosevic remains in power. And with Belgrade having just been granted $300 million in reconstruction aid by China, Milosevic doesn't look like he's about to leave the scene. "So the question isn't whether there'll be a confrontation, but when it will happen," says Anastasijevic. "But rather than simply send in his army, Milosevic may choose instead...
