...younger son, Yussef (Boubker Ait El Caid), a better shot with a more reckless disposition, tests the rifle's shooting distance by taking thoughtless aim at a bus on the road below their mountain redoubt. He fires, critically wounding one of the tourists inside. She is Susan (Cate Blanchett), on a marriage-saving vacation with her husband Richard (Pitt). Because the couple cannot be at home in San Diego with their two young children, the kids' nanny Amelia (Adriana Barraza) takes them to her home village in Mexico for her son's wedding.

With 14 actors playing 40 characters over 20 years in five hours, the director...
...fluted sleeve of the Anna coat from his most recent collection. "He understands subtle things that add something to the wearer's experience," says Somerville, "as well as being flattering and beautiful and classic." No wonder dedicated wearers include such style icons as Naomi Campbell, Lee Radziwill and Cate Blanchett. As it happens, the actress was spotted wheeling a stroller through the show late last month, transported by the floating corsets and flying crinolines. One can see the appeal. Elegance is a rare commodity these days, and Martin Grant cuts a timeless...
