...with her retarded son, the lengths to which the sister goes to defend her brothers from bullies?temper the hardness the Gao children sometimes display. Gu packs his film with vivid period details: boys play hacky-sack with a flaming chestnut, a couple preserves eggs in handfuls of sticky mud, a family's supply of coal dissolves under a sudden rain. The camerawork is flawless; the takes long and sinuous...

The parents and nurse may have discovered the original ransom note...
...mind slogging through thick mud and dense forest, a gorilla-spotting holiday in RWANDA might appeal. Now that relative political stability has returned to the country, it's once again possible to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Following in researcher Dian Fossey's footsteps, visitors can catch a rare glimpse of some of the 700 surviving primates at Parc National des Volcans, a conservation center in the northwestern part of the country. Expect your trek to be rewarded with screeches, grunts, beating of chests and close encounters with some of the most fascinating creatures on earth. The park...
