...heavy subject of euthanasia Urale next lent a winning mix of lightness and grace in her short Still Life (2001), which brought her more trophies, including top prize at the Montreal Film Festival. The filmmaker focused on an elderly white couple slowly drowning under the weight of illness, neglect from their children, and love for each other. But Urale's tenderness and respect for the aged (her camera caresses their wrinkled skin) are typically Samoan. More a cautionary tale than a call for euthanasia, "it hits a real nerve with people," the director says. "And particularly it reminds people...
...India has its eyes firmly fixed on the future. Everywhere there is a profound hope that its rising international status will somehow compensate for a past often perceived as one long succession of invasions and defeats by foreign powers. Perhaps there is also a cultural factor in this striking neglect of the past: as one conservationist recently told me, "You must understand that we Hindus burn our dead."

Surprise, such a work exists. Except this Puccini opera is not newly discovered, it is being rediscovered. After years of unwarranted neglect, La Rondine (The Swallow) may be finding a perch in the major opera houses. La Rondine (pronounced Ron-dee-nay) is not yet a repertory staple. But in 1984 the New York City Opera staged a bubbly version that revealed the many charms of the seductive score. Now in Chicago, the renascent Lyric Opera is proving that treated with respect, the little bird can soar...
