...slide show on the looming disaster of climate change, the movie is like its front man: both committed and muted, hoping to enlighten as much as arouse. And since the film was shown out of competition, it could not capture the Palme d'Or and bask in the resulting limelight. Poor Gore: again the noble nonwinner.

She has brought a collegial atmosphere to the Chancellery that is proving wildly popular. "Suddenly a woman in black enters the stage without any pomp or circumstance and talks in a quite straightforward manner - analytically," says Gerd Langguth, a political scientist at Bonn University. "People like that." Cabinet meetings...
