...every word in the 90 minute production is weighty; every delivery is considerable. This is an ambitious undertaking for Wright and producer C. Alexander Tremblay ’10, who must follow a Tony award-winning production and precede a film version that stars Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. But despite its large ambition, what makes this production so successful is its attention to the smallest detail. Within the confines of the Ex, the small cast of four delivers, and the streamlined set allows the raised eyebrows of Sister Aloysius (Marielle E. Woods ’08) to steal...

"A lot of people in this room didn't want to finance this movie," Jenkins noted, enjoying a bit of schadenfreude. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly also got kudos, with Schnabel taking the director award and his cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski, also winning. Kaminski, accustomed to tonier parties as Steven Spielberg's cinematographer, sought to wave off the low-budget crowd. "All of the offers I'm getting to work for $3,000 a week," Kaminski said...
