...performance of the Japanese film industry during much of the past decade was one of the big factors driving China's recent ascendance. Japan's directors took dead aim at real-life subject matter, not shying away from the darker parts of society and keeping clear of any self-conscious Japan-o-philia. In a country where school bullying, teenage prostitution and youth crime increasingly make headlines, Japan's directors and writers certainly have stories to tell.

...mousy looking man’s face is half-obscured by an enormous brown paper bag. Far in the deep background, yet clearly visible, are the two towers of the World Trade Center. This exhibit was assembled in the wake of Sept. 11, so it cannot but be for conscious choice. Amazingly, Levitt reverses convention and puts the frame’s most monumental element far removed from view—so much so as to render it almost invisible...
