...director feared his latest political comedy, Maxx, would never see the inside of a movie theater. Instead, the film was given the go-ahead for domestic release. Iranians packed theaters to see the story of a traditional musician invited back to Iran from the U.S. for a tribute concert, and the gauche pop star who mistakenly shows up in his place. "Under Khatami we had a short period of blossoming in the arts," Moghadam says. "It was a golden era unprecedented in Iranian history. But the rest of the time, we faced many restrictions. It would seem natural that...
...tease and Gore probably knows that his dance of the seven veils does more to heighten the movie's profile than the movie could ever do for his. It's about global warming, for goodness' sakes.

Or go further northeast to one of the city's magnificent cultural resources, the 92nd Street Y, which last weekend presented "Hooray for Hollywood: Johnny Mercer at the Movies." Those are the places I was this week, in heaven. Read on, and sing along...

The main requirement is that each actor-singer holds the script in a black loose-leaf binder, but after 10 days' rehearsal, most of the performers have memorized their parts and use the book as a prop. Last night, one actor, feigning tears, ripped a page from the script and wiped his pseudo-tears. Near the finale, Powers, her body frozen in a jackknife posture with her hands on the floor, adjusted her position slightly and turned a page in the script...
