...available for free on iTunes. The short shows Schwartzman and Natalie Portman ’03 in a Parisian hotel room and reveals a few details that complicate the subsequent feature. Although the feel of “Hotel Chevalier,” enhanced by the use of a camera sliding on a track, is distinct from that if “The Darjeeling Limited,” the two films share the remarkable confidence of an extraordinary director well into his prime. —Staff writer Andrew F.

First, let's talk about the sex. There's a lot of it in Ang Lee's new film, Lust, Caution: sweaty, acrobatic coupling that is, by turns, brutish and tender.

...bigger one in a more sober War on Terror movie, the forthcoming Lions for Lambs, also written by Carnahan). The movie's guiding force is producer Michael Mann, who made the small- and big-screen versions of Miami Vice. The Mann style is everywhere evident: in the prowling camera and elliptical editing, the pile-driving music (a surprisingly formulaic score by Denny Elfman), the gigantic, pore-probing closeups of the actors' faces, the vigorous ersatz-realism.
