...Stellet Licht (Silent Light), Reygadas shocks again: this drama of a Mennonite community in northern Mexico contains no explicit hanky-panky. In its way the film is true to the severe, austere code of the Mennonites. Yet it is shot with such care and creativity, each scene has a visual, emotional luster...
...this is not mere attention to visual and behavioral detail; it is a consummate film artist's weaving of a world and its inhabitants. Reygadas' genius is to sanctify each moment -the milking of cows and harvesting of grain, the children being washed in a stream, a sweetly illicit kiss in the woods -so that, when melodrama intrudes, it will have the power of inevitable tragedy...

The administration should allow this system to be installed in dorms across campus and refrain from paternalistic regulation. Some say that installing such a regulatory system to curbe the audio-visual appetite of students is desirable because television is a roadblock to social, extracurricular, and academic endeavors that make Harvard such a vibrant place. But in not offering cable or satellite television, Harvard is the exception to the rule—many schools still have thriving campuses even if students have...
