...Saturday, none could overshadow Dawson and his 184-yard, three-touchdown performance on the rain-soaked turf at Harvard Stadium...
...enough to have generated a warm and lucrative Western following. Monsoon Wedding, which cost just over a million dollars, earned almost $14 million in limited release. Audiences have been enthralled by Nair's signature carnivalesque style and her craftiness at tying down epic scenes, like Wedding's elaborate, traditional rain-soaked Indian nuptial ceremony.

Decades ago, Li and Yen trained together as teens in Beijing, which lends their rain-soaked battle the tang of an ancient schoolyard grudge match. Leung and Cheung, who smoldered so wistfully in Wong's In the Mood for Love, get to express the gamut of emotions as a couple who know each other's tricks. They are Rhett and Scarlett, Tristan and Isolde, and they end their time together in an image so startling and beautiful that...
