Louboutin spent the early years of his career designing shoes for some of fashion's biggest names, including Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Maud Frizon. In 1992 he opened up his own shop at the end of a picturesque 19th century Parisian arcade. He still runs his business from that Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau address, but now his shoes are sold in 46 countries around the world. He has 14 boutiques in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and London, and he plans to open six more next year in places like Singapore, Jakarta and Beijing...

This is a big change from the early years; it's said that Eric Rohmer's divinely talky Ma Nuit chez Maud (My Night at Maud's) in 1969 was the first competition film shown with English subtitles. Now all films in the official selection - the competition, Un Certain Regard and the special selections - are shown in English or with English subtitles. In the film market English is even more dominant; the salespeople...
...murder innocent humans because we are frustrated by our situation in life, and we reject the excuses of those who do. Susan Star Durban, South Africa Admirable, Not Heroic? re Time's list of "European Heroes 2005" [Oct. 10]: I dispute your selection of Frenchwoman Maud Fontenoy, who rowed across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in a small boat. Certainly she has courage, determination, strength, resilience and stamina, and her long-distance rowing achievements are admirable, but she is no hero. If she channeled her fame into raising money to combat aids or poverty, if she taught sailing to underprivileged...
