...elusive study, returning from Europe in 1953 to live a double life: one Pol Pot holds secret political meetings in a spartan shack in a Phnom Penh slum; the other courts a high-society belle in a black Citro?n sedan and "dances very well, in the Western style," a colleague recalled. Short attributes this duality to a "gift for subterfuge"?Pol Pot was so secretive that many mid-level Khmer Rouge officials did not know his real identity until two years after he had seized power.

...copy of Goddess. Nowhere else is her loopy sadness and extraterrestrial beauty put to better effect. In Law's underrated art-house flick, Byrne plays a damaged blind girl who lures a young Tokyo man across the Outback; her hair squirrel red, the color of the DS-model Citro?n he has journeyed to Australia to buy.

An ancient Citro?n spun its wheels on the muddy track, in a scene that would bring Fowler to a rebel leader's camp in the Vietnam of 1953. Suddenly Noyce shouted and pointed at a tree line: "Somebody do something about those kids!" Two boys had climbed some bamboo trees and were swaying at the top, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon-style. Very cute, but it ruined the shot. A translator pleaded for the children to come down...
