...struggling to come to terms with Islam. Where should we start? We - Christians, Westerners, whatever - perceive the Muslim world as large, aggressive, successful, expanding. Muslims in the U.K. see themselves as small, vulnerable, under attack, suspected by everybody. When you have something like the Mohammed cartoons in the Danish papers, ask yourself what it feels like if you're a member of an economically depressed, rather isolated Muslim community, in a majority non-Muslim environment...

The result is that these dramas wandered off into glamour-trash TV (remember Dallas?) and then into total disuse. Something like Bier's film (or the much darker Danish film, The Inheritance of a few years back) reminds us of what we're missing. It's not just the elegant country houses we revel in. It's the sense these movies convey that money - the giving and withholding of it - is a powerful melodramatic instrument, something that can dominate...
