...vote, scheduled next November, on whether to allow women priests. That innovation deeply divides the worldwide Anglican Communion, in which 14 of 34 branches now ordain women to the priesthood. The same issue clouded the ecumenical scene last week when Anglicanism's Primate, Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey, visited Rome for his first summit meeting with Pope John Paul. Carey, who did not repeat his publicized objections to Rome's hard line on birth control, emerged to describe the encounter of nearly one hour as "excellent, excellent...

His new Night on Earth splits its time five ways: taxi drivers pick up fares in Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, Rome, Helsinki. A little biography, a vagrant communion through the rearview mirror, then on to the next town. If Jarmusch keeps at it, he will become the first postpunk director of 30-second commercials...
...Rome episode is the saver, with Italian movie clown Roberto Benigni effusively confessing his sexual adventures (with a pumpkin, a sheep, a sister-in-law) to a shocked priest. And the glimpses of the cities, beautifully shot by Frederick Elmes (Blue Velvet), suggest there might be stories to complement the ghostly landscapes.
