		<description><![CDATA[Making a fictional film about a social issue is not easy. If it&#8217;s a dark satire like “Dr Strangelove,” or “Catch 22,” or even “One Flew Over the Cuckoo&#8217;s Nest,” the viewer always gets the feeling in the pit of their stomach that there is something not right with the world, that some impending dark [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Who doesn&#8217;t want to see their kids prosperous?” says the mother of Qin and Yang in the documentary, Last Train Home. This is a refrain begun earlier by the grandmother: “But who doesn&#8217;t want their children to live a good life?” If we are to believe the mother and the grandmother, prosperity and the good life [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in the 50s when the average man was traditionally stereotyped as the guy who was always running away from the gal who wanted to lasso him into the corral of a home, a basement, a lawn, a mortgage, two kids, a picket fence, a garage with an electric garage-door opener. The “ball-and-chain” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Haneke&#8217;s films are never easy to watch. I believe it would be safe to say the Haneke tends to assault his viewers out of their complacencies. If you like your films to have a soft-edged, feel-good resolution, you should definitely save your ten bucks&#8212;twenty-five with popcorn and a beverage&#8211; and wait for Hollywood&#8217;s romantic-comedy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of us who are cultural-diversity followers continue to be intrigued by the global verbal battle going on between the conservatives on both sides of the “which-culture-is-superior”topic. In the West, the Berlusconi followers continue to rant and rave about the superiority of Western Civilization. On the other hand, Islamic fundamentalists and militant jihadists believe that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sociologists have given us pretty accurate stats about the majority of us marrying or having intimate relationships, endogamously—that is, inside of our class, race, religion, and/or economic status. Exogamy is the exception, not the rule. Even if we know someone from another culture in the workplace, most of us still go home to our homogeneous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A biopic, a non-documentary film that dramatizes the life of a real, historical person, presents a challenge not only to film-makers but to audiences as well. Accuracy issues are always at stake when a director decides to do a dramatic narrative about a famous person, particularly about someone who carries a lot of mythological baggage.

		<description><![CDATA[Vittoria de Sica&#8217;s classic 1947 film, The Bicycle Thief, has probably been written about more than any other film in history. At one time, film audiences considered it to be the best film ever made; unfortunately, it has slipped off the charts in recent times. I have longed maintained that films consistently use visual and [...]]]></description>
