...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...

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...
