...Hole, the film aligns two distinct personalities--the hardened reporter and the simple, down-on-his-luck everyman--and pits them both against the senseless juggernaut of popular culture. "This movie is about people," Gavras says, and the people who star in it are indeed its finest assets. Dustin Hoffman plays Max Brackett, a hotshot national news reporter who has been demoted to a backwater affiliate station in northern California after a mysterious incident involving celebrity anchor Kevin Hollander (Alan Alda, in a stonier version of the egomaniacal media mogul he played in Crimes and Misdemeanors).

"How do you make juice out of that?" She did, by gamely examining every aspect and angle of serotonin to produce an informative and visually arresting package. Previously a design director at the Boston Globe, Hoffman doesn't miss the daily deadlines. "Now I can dig more deeply," she says, although at TIME that can mean digging deep into the night. "Cynthia gets to the core...
