...Lieutenant isn't a film to cherish, but for Cage fans it marks a welcome return to his early days, before he became a conventional leading man in Jerry Bruckheimer films. In his young prime Cage was a weird, tortured actor with highly eccentric impulses; you never knew if he'd punch a wall or eat the flowers.

For this year's event, which runs Sept. 24 to Oct. 4, judges have chosen 165 designs from 10 countries, to be featured in 10 two-hour shows, each of which is a jaw-dropping theatrical performance. Dance, music, lighting, elaborate sets and of course the ensembles themselves attract a total audience of around 35,000. "WOW," says founder Suzie Moncrieff, "is a glorious rebellion against the mundane." (See pictures...
