...rest, Schnabel's energetic true-life story of a man who learns to communicate after being immobilized by a stroke won the director prize. Satrapi's beguiling autobiographical animation shared the Jury Prize (third place) with Reygadas' very demanding, even more rewarding story of a Mennonite family in Northern Mexico. The screenplay citation went to the Akim film, the story of three parent-child relationships that get sundered; and if the script has more coincidences and withheld identities than a whole season of an American soap opera, it certainly held the interest and provided a showcase for some handsome performances...
...among the more intellectual critics. His Japon and Battle in Heaven won praise for their filmmaking rigor, caustic view of Mexico's social ills and often frank take on sex. With his competition film Stellet Licht (Silent Light), Reygadas shocks again: this drama of a Mennonite community in northern Mexico contains no explicit hanky-panky. In its way the film is true to the severe, austere code of the Mennonites. Yet it is shot with such care and creativity, each scene has a visual, emotional luster...

"We passed some hard nights the last time we were here," he said, "thinking about the nature of the mountain, why we were...

Most parties in the Irish Republic have a historical aspiration for the reunification of their country with Northern Ireland. Sinn Fein, which in this election drew attention not as a radical fringe party linked to the IRA but a political force that might emerge holding the balance of power, will try to use its handful of seats to turn that aspiration into something tangible...
...March Sinn Fein became part of the new Northern Ireland government. The party has also cleverly expanded in the southern part of Ireland by mining latent or marginalized voters - young people, urban poor, environmentalists, and anti-war campaigners. If they can become the first party to be in both of Ireland's governments, they'll be in a position to harmonize policies and blur the border between the two parts of the island. They'll also demand that Ahern deliver a policy paper on making Irish unity a practical reality...
