...easily be sabotaged by a violent incident like the March 24 massacre of 24 Kashmiri Hindus by unidentified gunmen. Indeed, convincing the militants to hand over their Kalashnikovs is the key to peace in Kashmir?and it may prove impossible. Says Pervez Hoodbhoy, a South Asia expert at the Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad: "There are extremists who want to torpedo these negotiations...
...gifted young auteur is 27, he's graduated to kids in their late teens and early 20s but with the same desperate, comic, always human yearning to connect.

It's the Sirk movie--fully alert to all his shadowy implications--that Sirk may or may not have intended but never actually made...
