...hostages drag their agonizing discussion late into the night. Pastor Weir and Father Jenco make no effort to put themselves forward, and Sutherland is too much of a gentleman. But Anderson nearly takes a swing at Jacobsen as the two men engage in a bitter contest to be chosen. Anderson wins the vote, but then is devastated when Hajj refuses to abide by the decision. "Terry Anderson will not be the first to be released," he snaps. "He might be the last one." A few nights later, Hajj tells Pastor Weir he is going home...
...South Africa Now presents a lively look at a tumultuous region. Twelve full- and part-time staffers and a host of volunteers put together programs of spot news, background reports and cultural features.

Law of Desire draws a bent triangle: a gay movie director, his transsexual sister (Maura) and her adopted child's rightful mother (played by a Spanish drag queen). Revelations of murder, incest, suicide and lotsa hot sex follow, but the tone remains knowing, tender. As Matador is about desire, Law is about caring; the first picture is a morgue shot, the latter a cardiogram. The film is as heartfelt as the tears that seep from behind its hero...
