...some are trying to do that now, and film history is rich with examples where obsessive directors have been lauded for their bizarre on-set behavior and self-importance. Think of Stanley Kubrick, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Werner Herzog, Sam Peckinpah, Erich Stroheim, and other filmmakers who at one point or another made films that became more about their personal psychoses than the films’ topics, which were things like greed, marital breakdown, the fallibility of nature, or cinema history. Given this list, perhaps the obsessive behavior is appropriate. Or perhaps they are (or were...
Although set in the '20s, this is the '60s film par excellence. Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) both love the free-spirited Catherine (Jeanne Moreau), who bunks with each of them.

In Germany, the percentage of pupils who say they've been involved in physical violence has doubled within a generation, from 5% in the 1970s to 10% today.

"This deal is good for the European capital markets, it's good for our clients and their clients, and it's good for the two companies," Deutsche Börse CEO Werner Seifert told TIME. Of course, that's assuming Seifert's bid prevails. He has been playing a hurry-up game, but Furse wants to slow down - and encourage a bidding war that drives up the price. "I'm expecting one," says Olaf Kayser, an analyst at Landesbank Rheinland-Pfalz. "The loser...
...watched the disaster unfold on television and the Internet - images that inevitably brought to mind the Bali terrorist bombing of 2002 - and slowly came to grips with the scope of the catastrophe. "It was awful," said Astrid von Sternheim, 27, as she waited at Frankfurt Airport for her parents Werner and Diana to arrive from Patong Beach in Phuket. "We saw the pictures on television and recognized the street and the hotels." Her parents survived because they happened to be on an upper floor. Families were torn apart, lovers separated forever, by the merciless waves that made no distinction between...
