...Colin Farrell? the 24-year-old Dubliner has acted in four movies in two years. He has worked with Bruce Willis and Forest Whitaker. He has been directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever) twice.

The Japanese have been seen as proud warriors and shy bureaucrats, courtesans and devoted daughters, a most cultured people and the most barbaric. Western directors like Alain Resnais (Hiroshima mon amour) and Steven Spielberg (who will achieve a Japanese trilogy if he ever adds the long-deferred Memoirs of a Geisha to 1941 and Empire of the Sun) have joined such local masters as Akira Kurosawa, Yasujiro Ozu and Nagisa Oshima in trying to define the bold, elusive Japanese psyche...
