...Sleep When I'm Dead's plot is as simple as that of a western (or, Hodges says, a samurai epic). The actors are more elements in a dark, elegantly realized landscape than fully incarnate characters. Among the things Hodges and Preston have stripped out of their film are all the usual explanations. What drove Will away from his successful criminal past? What does Charlotte Rampling's enigmatic restaurateur see in him? Instead, what we have to entertain us is style. As with Croupier, Hodges is not in any hurry to get to the point of his scenes, which...
...based in part on the testimony of Abdurahman Alamoudi, an American Muslim leader arrested last fall at Dulles airport, who claimed he was told by Gaddafi last June that he wanted the prince dead.

...well, because they're the CIA. One former government official even insisted to Time that Djindjic ordered a fake hit on himself, so that in the aftermath he could impose a state of emergency and cement his hold on power.

Arif's alleged role involved recruiting, organizing and oversight. French antiterror magistrates Jean-Louis Bruguière and Jean-François Ricard are also holding Arif for alleged similar involvement with a Chechen-trained group arrested outside Paris in December...
...world's most prestigious venues, she is unable to eat or drink before a show. "I am always so nervous," she says, smiling. Her perfectionism is notorious programming just one light cue can take an entire evening. A Bausch show is like food for your subconscious. There is no plot. Instead she takes a series of everyday events and skews them until they become dreamlike, familiar yet uncanny. "I try," she says, "to create an image that is so open you can find a place in it for yourself where it means something." Those images are often whimsical. In Nefes...
