French cinema has also suffered from a nouveau roman complex. "The typical French film of the '80s and '90s had a bunch of people sitting at lunch and disagreeing with each other," quips Marc Levy, one of France's best-selling novelists. (His Et si c'Etait Vrai... , published in English as If Only It Were True, became the 2005 Hollywood film Just Like Heaven starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo.) "An hour and a half later, they are sitting at dinner, and some are agreeing while others are disagreeing." France today can make slick, highly commercial movies...

It is understandable that voters get bored by seeing the same candidates say the same...
Epstein’s modes of expressing his inexplicable anguish over love, age, and the idea of his lover grew increasingly complex. And Scanlan’s directorial decisions—along with John R. Malinowski’s work as scenic environment and lighting designer—impressively reflected this increasing complexity. Not only did he add more elements to the stage, but he also infinitely increased the scope and reach of the artist. By introducing a camera onto the stage, the artist (and Beckett himself) was finally able to convey the process of communicating...
