...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. Their driver is her nephew, Santiago (Gabriel...
...film is mainly, I think, about children. They are the most vulnerable of humans, the most likely to be put at risk by the people in charge of them. The Moroccan boys wouldn't have got into trouble if their father hadn't given them a rifle. Pitt and Blanchett's two children, Debbie (Elle Fanning) and Mike (Nathan Gamble), wouldn't be in jeopardy if they hadn't been carted off to Mexico. And the Japanese man's daughter Chieko...
...sauce factory in Sydney's Surry Hills. It's here Australia's finest director goes, as Shakespeare's Hamlet says, "to sleep, perchance to dream." Here, under Armfield's gentle, bespectacled gaze, Geoffrey Rush first leaped to life as Proposhkin in Gogol's Diary of a Madman and Cate Blanchett came of age as Miranda in The Tempest. It's also where Armfield dreamed up his 1998 stage adaptation of Tim Winton's novel Cloudstreet, the epic production that put his name in theatrical heaven. 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...
...Fish, his finish is almost unrecognizable. There's nothing remotely respectable about Bradley "The Jockey" Thompson, a character so crooked he seems straight. As the former lover of Hugo Weaving's ex-AFL footballer junky (in turn the confidant of a strung-out video-store proprietress played by Cate Blanchett) he's the toxic puppeteer of Rowan Woods' eye-opening Cabramatta-set crime thriller. Woods, the edgy social realist director of The Boys (1998), saw it as a challenge to reinvent the star. "He's nearly always the distinguished gent," says Woods, "as opposed to this, where...
