...first form of using technology to tell a story." That notion inspires one of Ką's loveliest moments: the male twin and his court jester make shadow puppets--a rabbit, a dog, a bird--on the wall. Simple magic. So is a dance, by Noriko Takahashi, as the daughter of the Counselor's chief archer, that expresses the purest love through the choreographer's art and the dancer's plangent grace. Behind the scenes, Ką is dizzyingly complicated, with a crew of 165, including technicians who operate the gurney crane that moves the platforms and stagehands who prowl...
...alienated as Holden Caulfield (Murakami was translating J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye as he wrote the novel), the boy calls himself Kafka Tamura, though you never learn his real name. He left home because his sculptor father was a sadistic beast who drove his wife and daughter to decamp years earlier, and who cruelly tells the boy that he will someday kill Dad and have sex with Mom and Sis.

...importance of her character or the size of her role. (The names of black actors, no matter how substantial their roles, were typically placed below the least significant white actors.) Yet, even when she was the star, she often was paid less than her supporting actors. In Daughter of the Dragon, where she was top-billed, she earned $6,000 to Hayakawa's $10,000 and Oland's $12,000 (though he's out of the picture by the 23rd min.). Her Shanghai Express gig, where she is billed third, again above Oland, Wong earned another $6,000; Dietrich...
