...this sounds improbably melodramatic, but that reckons without considering the tone German director and co-writer Rolf Schubel establishes, a kind of sweet-tart nostalgia that's capable of accommodating the muted horror of the film's later passages as well as a great morally balancing surprise ending. It also reckons without taking into account the acting, especially Krol's combination of innocence and worldliness and Marozsan's blend of yielding and manipulation.

These are the kind of numbers that get Turck Paquelier's juices flowing. "I am only interested in big things. Not small things. Not niche brands," she says. Which is strange, because it was Turck Paquelier's decision to sign up the small Dutch fashion house of Viktor & Rolf. "They want to be famous," she insists. Certainly a fragrance backed by L'Oreal will help in that regard. But what's in it for L'Oreal? Turck Paquelier and Owen-Jones hope that the Dutch duo will attract inventive managers and researchers to the company. They also want the designers...
