...partly with its retro-futuristic clothes. Is Keanu Reeves' Neo from the future or from some severe, high-collared Edwardian past? In Love, Renee Zellweger's chic period ensembles look so very fresh. "The early '60s is the last time clothes were modern," says Love's costume designer, Daniel Orlandi.

Emanuela Orlandi, 15, the daughter of a messenger in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace, vanished on June 22 after talking with a man in a black BMW on the street in front of her music school in downtown Rome. Last Wednesday, following an appeal from the Pope for her safe return, the abductors finally unveiled their startling demand. In a call to Orlandi's family, the kidnapers announced that the girl would be freed only if Agca were...
