...producer Ismail Merchant, who passed away in 2004, “The White Countess” does not quite measure up to their past sweeping classics (“Surviving Picasso” or “Howards End”). Fortunately, extraordinary acting makes up for rather drab dialogue and slow-paced action. “Countess” is a true Merchant-Ivory collaboration. As with most Merchant-Ivory films, a stellar cast is paired with a lush backdrop of elegant costumes and scenery. Taking place in 1930s Shanghai, “Countess” is a fitting...

Within a few hours, anyone working outside is covered in a fine layer of grit. The trees that gave New Orleans such character--the centuries-old live oaks with their grand canopies and graceful lines--are toppled, exposing huge root balls 10 ft. or more in diameter. It's all the more surreal because the Garden District, which survived the flood, is lush and beautiful once again...
