...radical free-market reforms to slash the budget deficit and jump-start the economy, but voters shied away from these in favor of the Law and Justice Party's more socially oriented approach. Before the vote, the now President-elect told Time he opposed privatization of industries he considered vital to "Polish national security," especially in the energy sector, and that he favored a more "sensitive" economic policy. Translation: the brothers are expecting to slow the privatization of industries, reduce taxes for low-income families, and increase pensions and family-welfare payments by making cuts in the bureaucracy.

But not every movie in the world has to run to the Hollywood pulse; some films can be contemplative and complex. Besides, Americans have also proved indifferent to the vital, popular film industry in India, with its delirious musical melodramas, and in Hong Kong, whose films have enough violent action to put Arnold and Sly out of business. Exoticism, artistry, hurtling pace--these movies have it all. Yet they remain the province of Indian and Chinese emigres and of the cultists...
