...challenge writer-director Douglas McGrath is very largely up to in Nicholas Nickleby. Now and then his film feels a bit rushed and breathless, but mostly you sink gratefully into its handsomely staged plenitude...
...with an impassioned soliloquy on his interpretation of the script: why Hou should use narrative repetition to create pathos, why the antique wardrobe stays in the same place for three decades, why the mother and the daughter never speak to each other at dinner. At the end of a breathless three hours, he sounds a cautionary note on the perils of directing films in China. "You start off with all 10 fingers," he lectures, holding his hands in front of his face, "and you may wind up at the end with only one." He wraps a fist around his pinky...
...because she feared ruining the clean lines and angles of the creative space. Even the clothes on display seemed to be impertinent imposters in this place of pure minimalism.

The upshot: even if demand slackens, prices can hold if sellers simply wait a normal length of time for the right buyer to surface. Increasingly, that buyer is a new American. Greenspan can get breathless describing "the incredible rise in immigration," which he says accounts for "a third of the rise in household formation" and "has been a major factor holding the price level of homes up." Today more than 1 in 10 Americans is foreign-born, compared with 1 in 20 in 1970. This...
