...particularly liked the Coen Brothers piece about an American tourist (Steve Buscemi), waiting for a Metro train, who does not heed his guidebook's advice (don't make eye contact with strangers) with comic-violent results, Wes Craven's work about a pair of bickering British tourists visiting Oscar Wilde's grave site in the Père-Lachaise cemetery with romantically restorative results, and Tom Twyker's take on a faltering love affair between a pair of young people, one of whom is blind, yet is also a brave and wily navigator of the sighted world. There's even...
...Sopranos' STEVE BUSCEMI is as much a Sundance fixture as fur-lined parkas. This year he's in two films and directs one, Interview, in which he's a political journalist who has to profile a soap star. The role sees him getting cozy with Sienna Miller.

...arrondisement. The Coen brothers crunch their black comedy into a black hole of cross-cultural misunderstandings. Buscemi, whose Coen-nections cover five features, from Miller's Crossing to The Big Lebowski, plays a tourist reading a guidebook in the Paris Metro. "Never make eye contact," the book advises. But it's too late; he has inadvertently done just that with a woman on the opposite platform. Her beau takes offense, and Buscemi finds himself the injured party in a bout of romantic gamesmanship. Nasty, natty...
