The need for parental closure drove the characters played by Bill Murray in Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers (which took the runner-up Grand Prix), Sam Shepard in Wim Wenders' Don't Come Knocking, and William Hurt in James Marsh's The King. A similar theme, of past sins haunting and tainting the present, was the preoccupation of several other biggies: ancient murders in David Cronenberg's A History of Violence, boyhood betrayal in Michael Haneke's Hidden, slavery in the American South in Lars Von Trier's Manderlay.

But the most compelling appeal, Wilson says, has come from a House Democrat--James Langevin of Rhode Island, an abortion foe who is also a quadriplegic as a result of an accidental gunshot wound suffered when he was a teenager. "When Jim Langevin talks to you about this," says Wilson, "he speaks with a certain understanding that the rest of us don't have...
