...high last month. Among the beneficiaries are entrepreneurs like Neeta Raheja, who runs a wedding-planning company called Creative Explosions. The firm organizes weddings that range from $20,000 (the average cost of a wedding blast in the U.S.) to $2 million, which gets you hand-painted invitations by artist M.F. Husain, a Thai banquet for 2,000 and a helicopter to ferry the groom to the ceremony. Indian weddings, Raheja says, are more than the union of boy and girl: "It's the merging of two families, often two businesses...

...resulting concert film, Neil Young: Heart of Gold, is a portrait of the folk-rock artist as an aging man, in which Demme amps up Prairie Wind's intimacy by several notches. The film makes you feel that an artist who always seemed to be standing on the other side of a milewide canyon is suddenly in your living room. Demme keeps things cozy the old-fashioned way with long close-ups, slow pans (using a Steadicam) and editing cuts that are as sure and steady as the music and musicianship.
