...Disney masters, as when Remy, on his first night in Paris, scurries and jetes to avoid the heavy footfalls of pedestrians who'd scream if they noticed him. Though the story takes place in today's Paris, the movie has the vibe of postwar years, when the light was softer, the shadows longer.

...Taciturn and quicker of thought than speech, he's more interested in weighty ideas than personalities and clearly finds it puzzling that anyone should expect the softer reaches of his character to yield clues to his political landscape.

...endorse either finalist. Sarkozy seems to have won nearly half the voters who in 2002 gave Jean-Marie Le Pen an 18% score. In the runoff Sarkozy will count on the rest plus Bayrou voters who share his focus on economic liberalization and cutting debt. Royal will pit her softer image against Sarkozy's tougher style.
