...Popular Asian films, like their counterparts in North America, have a crucial movie element that is often lost in Cannes's worship of directors: star quality. Choi had already vaulted to celebrity in the Korean blockbusters Shiri and Failan. Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li were bulwarks of Hong Kong cinema, before they decamped to Hollywood. And in India, actors like Amitabh Bachchan are near-deities. (Alas, the delirious seductions of Bollywood musicals still elude the Cannes programmers?no Indian pop musical has been invited to compete for the Palme d'Or in nearly a half...

...line policy and hold direct talks with Pyongyang. The Bush Administration's frustration that it can't get support from allies only grew last week when a high-level delegation from South Korean President-elect Roh Moo Hyun visited Washington. At one meeting with top U.S. experts on Korea, Yun Young Gwan, a Roh advisor on foreign affairs, stunned his audience by announcing Seoul would rather see North Korea with nukes than see it collapse. Appalled, one participant described the South Korean delegation as "naive, sentimental, illogical and dissembling." (A Roh spokesman said he couldn't confirm Yun's remarks...
