...raving applause, Albright performed two encores, both of which fit his unassuming nature perfectly. First, he performed a cute variation on “Ten Thousand Men of Harvard” that he composed himself, and, after more applause, he performed Chopin’s Étude Op. 25, No. 2.The most disappointing part of the night by far was the performance of the brass section.

Also a standout was Climates, from Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan. This minor-key étude of love, sex and selfishness used minimalist strategies to reveal the shifting emotional allegiances of a college professor, played with gruff appeal by the director. Shortbus, a U.S. romantic comedy set in a New York City sex salon, might have been the outrage of the festival, since it contained several...
