...designed to end speculation that the media brouhaha over anti-Israeli rhetoric uttered in Mrs. Clinton's presence during her Middle East trip would torpedo her campaign. Despite New York's large Jewish vote and the tabloid media's best efforts, Suha Arafat's remarks are hardly likely to turn into one of those "-gate" tropes that could doom her campaign (the Palestinians hate the Israelis - who knew?), especially after Prime Minister Ehud Barak gave her a ringing endorsement as a friend of Israel.

But this dour, powerful film might be just an anecdote without Dequenne, 18. She invests Rosetta with the weird ferocity of an alien creature: a wild angel or a madwoman. This novice actress's task--finding the shading of realism in what could be a cartoon of misery--is made all the more harrowing by the film's intense, handheld scrutiny of her face in almost every shot.
