...WITHOUT A PAST. By all accounts, this new offering from veteran Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismaki is a bizarre, eclectic offering, trafficking heavily in dark humor and kitschy music. Kaurismaki focuses his story on an injured, amnesia-addled man who falls in love with the woman who nurses him back to health.

People don't believe in mass graves any more," says Natasa Kandic, a human rights investigator who documented war crimes in Kosovo. "We haven't touched on our own responsibility." None of this means that Milosevic is likely to get off when the trial wraps...
