...recently produced Alien vs. Predator. And then there's Hardwicke, raised by Texas Presbyterians and best known for her gritty portraits of young people in Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown. For her, the most religious experience in making Nativity was sitting under an ancient olive tree in the town of Matera, Italy, where most of the film was shot. "If I were an angel, I thought, I'd go visit Mary there," says Hardwicke. That's where she set the Annunciation...

Women doing time for murder in Baghdad live in a single 10-bunk cell in Khadamiyah Women's Prison in the northern part of town near the Tigris River.

In 1934 Ozu directed an 86-minute silent (the Japanese were late in making the transition to sound) about an aging actor who returns with his theater troupe and his current mistress to his home town, where he reunites with his former lover and their now grown son. Bittersweet misery ensues. In 1959, when Ozu's reserved style was fully formed, he remade the story as two-hour color film photographed by the great Kazuo Miyagawa, the cinematographer of Kurosawa's Rashomon and Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu...
