...Kalina is tender and loving, if at times offensive (she makes one particularly awkward comment about exterminating the gypsies, like they did with the Jews). In spite of these moments of bigotry, Mia makes Kalina’s lines the most heartfelt ones in the play.The set, designed by Cristina Todesco, is a beautiful backdrop to the cast’s exceptional performance. Although in the small theatre the audience is already seated close to the action, the detail of the set draws them in as if they were in fact sitting in Clay and Kelly’s living...

And France's I've Loved You So Long (starring British actress Kristin Scott Thomas, who speaks fluent French) raised a few eyebrows when it beat odds on Oscar favorite...
...Foreign Agents If you're keeping score, 10 foreigners won Golden Globe movie awards, compared with just three Americans: Rourke, WALL-E's Andrew Stanton and Allen (who made Vicky Cristina in Spain because he couldn't raise funds to shoot in the States). You could almost hear the muttering of the locals about their hosts: Don't they know they're the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, not the Hollywood Foreign Press Association? Somebody's going to scan the HFPA rolls to determine how many members come from India, and how many from Belgium...
