  1. Kerouac opus 'On the Road' hits just enough beats ★★★

    An eternal fountain of adolescence, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" went through many permutations between its point of origin, 1948, and its point of notorious, divisive publication, 1957. The best description of it came from Kerouac himself, in a journal entry written after his first cross-country road trip in 1948. The book he had in mind, he said, was about "two guys hitchhiking to California in search of something they don't really find, and losing themselves on the road, and coming all the way back hopeful of something else." There's a simple beauty to that. The question is: How do you film an extended yearning?

  2. Gael Garcia Bernal's ad man has global reach

    In "No," 34-year-old Guadalajara-born actor and filmmaker Gael Garcia Bernal plays a cocky Santiago, Chile, advertising man who has thrived under the economic policies of the nation's U.S.-backed ruler, Augusto Pinochet. Asked to concoct a TV advertising campaign to bring down Pinochet in the 1988 plebiscite, he's intrigued — not necessarily because he's a stealth radical (though his father, we're told, was sent into political exile to Mexico) but because the "no" vote is deemed by many to be an impossible product to sell to a wary populace.

  3. 'Like Someone in Love' a Tokyo story of love and lies ★★★ 1/2

    In "Certified Copy," from Iranian writer-director Abbas Kiarostami, a relationship blossoms and then fades under the Tuscan sun, though the story keeps changing its rules of engagement. The couple at the center, we presume, are strangers getting to know each other, but halfway through the exquisite riddle of a picture they "become" (or pretend to become) husband and wife.

  4. 'Seduced and Abandoned' with Alec Baldwin at Cannes

    Last year at the Cannes Film Festival, Alec Baldwin and director James Toback ran around for 11 days making a movie about two guys (themselves; it’s a documentary) scrambling to line up financing for a different movie, a sex-soaked tale of a right-wing government operative trysting with a left-wing journalist in a hotel room in Iraq.

  5. Rain makes 'Umbrellas of Cherbourg' a Cannes no-brainer

    It’s tempting here, at the bountiful Cannes Film Festival, to bypass the competition titles, if only for a couple of hours, and avail yourself of something you already know you adore.

  6. Michael Douglas impresses at Cannes with HBO Liberace pic 'Behind the Candelabra'

    Michael Douglas&rsquo;s <span class="italic" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">faaaaabulous</span> portrayal of Liberace won&rsquo;t be eligible for an Oscar, since the droll Steven Soderbergh-directed biopic &ldquo;Behind the Candelabra&rdquo; debuts Sunday on HBO before playing theatrically (and talk about theatrically!) overseas.

  7. 'Lawless' offers up a tall drink of violence ★★ 1/2

    Bootlegging dramas come with a built-in sympathy clause in their contracts with the audience. <em>C'mon!</em> they plead. <em>All these folks want is to get the government off their backs, follow their American dream and provide liquor to the masses.</em> And by the way, wasn't Prohibition a joke?

  8. Michael Haneke goes in close for the anguish of 'Amour'

    Michael Haneke's devastating "Amour" opens Friday in Chicago. And since its Cannes Film Festival premiere in May, this tale of a long-married man and woman in their 80s, tested by illness and the limits of their own compassion, has moved audiences in a direct, emotional way unknown and, indeed, unintended by the director's previous, icy provocations.

  9. Denis Lavant is a shape-shifting wonder in 'Holy Motors' ★★★ 1/2

    "Holy Motors," an exuberant jape as well as a beautiful ode to the movies, to play-acting and to Paris, comes from the French writer-director Leos Carax, re-teaming here with actor Denis Lavant. Lavant got robbed at the Cannes Film Festival this year, losing the best actor award to Mads Mikkelsen ("The Hunt"). Now you can find out why I think this is so.

  10. 'Cosmopolis': Harbinger of economic doom lands with a bit of a thud ★★ 1/2

    Sleek and forbidding, David Cronenberg's adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel "Cosmopolis" presents the most whopping paradox in the cinema year 2012.

  11. Q&A: 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' stars Quvenzhane Wallis and Dwight Henry, and director/co-writer Benh Zeitlin

    Go ahead and call me crazy. Don&rsquo;t be surprised, though, if 8-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis receives a Best Actress nomination for &ldquo;Beasts of the Southern Wild,&rdquo; her first-ever acting job. Which she filmed when she was 6. And auditioned for at 5.

    Please be silent behind the screen. Backstage at the 1927 Hollywood premiere of his latest screen triumph, film star George Valentin — played with irresistible zest by Jean Dujardin — waits for the crowd's response. Standing in front of...
