...scrawny comic then feigned a call to a friend who works for the Prime Minister's party, but no luck there either. "Nothing," he told Celentano. "But he said he'll make some calls and get back to me in the morning." The performance was vintage Benigni, a longtime leftist and frequent Berlusconi basher. But, above all, the spectacle was an awesome display of Celentano's media might. Since first airing two weeks ago, RockPolitik has smashed all ratings records; some 12.5 million Italians, a 49% audience share, tuned in to see last week's show. Celentano is pulling them...

Time did not tell the whole story about Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar and his portrayals of the gay lifestyle. Far from being a liberal (in the European sense), Almodóvar is a sectarian leftist in mind and soul. His systematic attack against family and religious values is not really intended to "liberate" the homosexuals who live in Spain or to make the country more modern.

...album closer, “When God Made Me,” a simple and earnest plea for tolerance in the aftermath of 9-11, is likely to split opinions.

Late in the film “Innocent Voices,” the 12-year-old main character waits on his knees to be executed by U.S.-trained government soldiers. Just before our young hero is shot, the country’s leftist guerillas attack and the boy is saved.Before that happens, though, a soldier shoots another boy in the back of the head, and the camera lingers on him as he falls forward, breaking film conventions against showing violence against children on-screen.“Innocent Voices,” Mexico’s official submission...

...German voters of Fischer's age or older, these words may have come as a shock. For many, the pixie-faced politician embodies all the values they associate with youth: irreverence, passion, engagement with radical causes, an enduring whiff of rebellion. Fischer half-jokingly told Die Tageszeitung, a leftist newspaper: "I was one of the last live rock 'n' rollers of German politics. Now there's an up-and-coming generation in every party who mime to pre-recorded tracks." In any case, the elections on Sept. 18 showed Germans are ready for different mood music. The Social Democrats lost...
