...aiming at romantic refinement is to avoid being either pushy or inert. There Possession fails, certainly in the modern half of the story. Actors preen overmuch; Paltrow again imitates Englishness by sucking in her suave cheeks; Eckhart (a LaBute regular) works too hard at being the outspoken American abroad. Gabriel Yared's music is forced to do the actors' emoting for them--a sure sign the director doesn't trust the story to carry the feeling...

In the next five days, he would have to leave one of two outstanding strikers?Gabriel Batistuta or Hernan Crespo?on the bench. The pair would make any rational list of the five best goal scorers in the world, and either man would find a place on any other World Cup team. But Bielsa's game strategy won't accommodate a pair of out-and-out strikers. There can be only...
