...happens that, in the past two months, my TIME.com work has been awash in Englishness: not just in the Up films but in the humor of Monty Python's Flying Circus and the royal satire of the new film The Queen. I also participated in a South Bank Show about Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit who, although they are made of plasticine (and one, a dog, says nary a word), speak eloquently to the English traits of gamely soldiering on through life's trials, many of them self-inflicted...

...Simpson (and Fox) would have garnered from the deal are not half as outrageous as the fact that every day he walks free.

...family of nomadic shepherds in Kazakhstan. The camera tracks the individuals as they tend their livestock, prepare their food, and—in one case—run away from home. “Highway” takes place in the same country, and follows a family of circus performers who travel a 2,000 -mile dirt road in a dilapidated bus, performing in small villages along the way. The other two films take place in Russia. “Bread Day” focuses on a town outside St. Petersburg that has been all but abandoned, with only...
