"Is it a paper tiger that negotiates a cease-fire, gets a partial withdrawal and is the only body which can solve the situation and is able to help Georgia?" asked Sarkozy, who chaired the Brussels proceedings because France currently holds the presidency of the European Council. "We did not see the Berlin Wall fall, the end of the Soviet dictatorship and the dismantling of the Warsaw Pact...

But funds are modestly capped at just over $460,000 per film. To get a sense of the competition facing industry entrants, one only needs to compare this level of financing to that of the Chinese-language film dominating the city's movie houses this season - John Woo's Chinese historical drama Red Cliff, which with its estimated $80 million budget is Asia's most expensive movie to date.
