...morning and during Rome's notoriously relaxed lunch hour. Reviews of his new book have been good, and just 24 hours after its release last week, a second printing was ordered. Veltroni cites Philip Roth and Ian McEwan as his favorite contemporary authors. But he also cites a more risqué name, Arthur Schnitzler, the Austrian writer who explored the limits of sexuality and the subconscious, and inspired Stanley Kubrick's film Eyes Wide Shut. Asked if he had any of his own recurring dreams, Veltroni chuckled. "I dream with my eyes open, like any elected official should...
...rard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil. Now 21-year-old actor Louis Garrel is nosing ahead of his peers. His proboscis, thick as a prizefighter's, gives the actor a seriousness and weathered complexity beyond his years. His 2003 turn as a young movie-obsessed revolutionary in Bernardo Bertolucci's risqué The Dreamers won him immediate attention.

He kept a police whistle at his desk, which he'd blow whenever a line or bit of business crossed the line. He remained old-fashioned that way, as well as in his stubborn refusal, unlike Carson and almost everyone that followed, to do "savers" when...
...there were a string of films that attempted to confront, mock and criticize contemporary politics. Wag the Dog features a White House-recruited Hollywood producer creating a distraction--in the form of a fake war--from a risqu sex-scandal threatening the president on the eve of his re-election. Bulworth recounts the tale of a disenchanted and suicidal political icon who finds solace when he begins to speak the truth--rather than his usual lip service--regardless of the consequences of his offensive, yet candid, remarks. And Primary Colors tells the story of an idealistic political aficionado seduced into...
