...festival is predicting which films, from among the 19 in competition, will be chosen as best by the Jury. This involves much second-hand psychoanalyzing of the ten Jury members: Who will impose his or her will? Tarantino? The strong-minded British actress Tilda Swinton? The American doyenne Kathlene Turner? Or Hong Kong maestro Tsui Hark...
Viktor and Rolf are crestfallen. The Dutch designers - fashion-set favorites who are now out to prove that they're not too quirky for mainstream success - are in London for their first-ever movie premiere, the opening of Young Adam, starring Ewan McGregor and their friend and muse Tilda Swinton. Part of Leicester Square is cordoned off and Swinton, whose short red hair and long black chiffon Viktor & Rolf dress make her look like a fiery upside-down exclamation point, is signing autographs and posing.

The result, co-directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel, is an elegant, romantically doomy movie that rises well above its precipitating gimmick...
Finally, a nifty twist: a blackmailer (Goran Visnjic, the hottie from ER) falls in love with his victim (Tilda Swinton). Actually, the idea is so old it's new: this is a remake of Max Ophuls' The Reckless Moment (1949). She's trying to protect her son from a predatory lover who is accidentally killed; he's an agent of evil too soulful for his own good. Their gripping story is told with sober conviction in this elegantly made, romantically doomy, curiously affecting movie...
