...Doyle went on to collaborate with the giants of Asian cinema, Chen Kaige (Temptress Moon) and more recently Zhang Yimou (Hero), but it is with Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai that Doyle made his mark?and look: hand-held, jump-cut and radically chic. That began with Days of Being Wild (1991) and, six films later, found sublime perfection with In the Mood for Love (2000). Here, what began life as a comedy evolved, over 15 months of improvization and reshooting, into a masterpiece of slowly condensing passion. "A Wong Kar-wai film is kind of like cooking school...
...better, then, to get down and dirty in the Australian desert? For Rabbit-Proof Fence's most gut-wrenching scene, Doyle used a hand-held camera to record the all-too-real distress of the girls as they are torn from their mother (Ningali Lawford) and thrown into a police car.

As CEO of NTT DOCOMO, NTT's previously obscure mobile-phone wing, he has overseen the success of i-mode, the mobile Internet service that set nearly 30 million pairs of Japanese thumbs tap-tap-tapping on hand-held keypads. Tachikawa, 62, has set up partnerships with Europeans and recently bought a 16% stake in AT&T Wireless. Both moves should serve DoCoMo well in its bid to promote "3g," the ultra-speedy, new-generation service that seeks to make cell phones indispensable multimedia tools...
