Like another bountiful fall offering, David Lynch's Mulholland Dr., the Coen film serves up a lovely, lurid brew of greed, murder and twisted identities. It's a smart essay on the overwhelming human need to love someone who's bad news. Thornton's fabulously dour performance--a prime display of postmortem acting--reminds us that fall is the time when things...
...Nanni Moretti's family drama The Son's Room; second prize and both actor awards to Michael Haneke's sexual war of wills The Piano Teacher; the screenplay citation to a Bosnian film, Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land; and director laurels to two Americans, David Lynch for Mulholland Dr. and Joel Coen for The Man Who Wasn't There.

...networks will announce their fall schedules in three weeks. Lynch's Mulholland Drive is almost sure to get the go-ahead. Imagine's other contenders are Student Affairs, a one-hour tongue-in-cheek soap opera about students at a college in the Midwest that UPN is considering; Thirty, a half-hour comedy-drama hybrid for ABC that shakes up the now familiar Friends formula; Eli's Theory, a half-hour drama for WB about a single father raising his six-year-old genius son; and Agro & York, for Fox, a puppet show set in space.
