...juxtaposition of modern psychotherapy and bald psychoanalytic symbols. The couple’s respective reactions to grief—Dafoe’s intellectual distance manifest in his treatment of Gainsbourg, whose psychic pain becomes physical—exaggerate at a rate that reaches the suspenseful around the second act, and plows right through to the comically ridiculous by the third.

While in Washington, Merkel will also get a glimpse of the tortuous negotiations that are taking place on health-care reform in the U.S. - and she may come to wonder whether her fresh-faced new Health Minister is really...
