...Evening, but even in the press kit you can sense her loathing for his work. He's sort of Henry James without the cojones and definitely the most constipated sensibility the literary community has lately been in awe of. But I suspect that the director, Lajos Koltai, a Hungarian, has even more to do with the film's inertness. One does not imagine him to be particularly expert in the manners, morals and habits of the American Protestant patriciate of a half-century ago.

...Hungary’s revolt against its pro-Soviet government is quashed by Russian tanks. In response, Harvard students form the Harvard Freedom Council. The council organizes film screenings and attempts to raise money to have one Hungarian student study at Harvard each year...
...first sight, Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy would seem to continue the Anglo-French tradition of coming from different planets. Sarkozy, who won an easy victory in the French presidential runoff election on May 6, is the son of a capricious Hungarian émigré aristocrat.

...Much of the world's media describes Sarkozy as an atypical Frenchman, not only because of his Hungarian origins, but more importantly, because he is a passionate believer in hard work, individual enterprise and reward for ambition - an admirer, in other words, of the economic and social dynamism of the United States. As a French person who has studied in one of America's premier universities and is now interning at one of its most respected news magazines, I am pained by the assumption that there's something not typically French about the virtues promoted by Sarkozy.
