Over the past two decades Mexico City has emerged as a player in the international contemporary-art scene, with a clutch of world-class artists, cutting-edge galleries and deep-pocketed collectors - of which juice tycoon Eugenio Lopez is the most important. Located at his family's sprawling Jumex juice factory just outside the capital, Lopez's Colección Jumex is a priceless assemblage of works by blue-chip local and international artists ranging from Gabriel Orozco to Andy Warhol. It is unequaled in Latin America...

And though his papacy can sometimes seem by-the-book, certain Benedict decisions must be mined for personal motivations.

There's also money to be found in France: as well as campaigning vigorously to convince major French companies to contribute, Loyrette has created a circle of young donors that is attracting a new generation of entrepreneurs...
...social issue. The movie follows nine-year-old Carlitos (played with sweet seriousness by Adrian Alfonso) as he crosses the Mexican-American border illegally after his grandmother’s death to search for his mother. The plot is conventional, but Carlitos is heartbreakingly cute. His relationship with Enrique (Eugenio Derbez), the migrant worker who comes to take care of him, is charming, funny, and by far the film’s greatest strength. Like nearly all movies with a political agenda, however, “Under the Same Moon” has its limitations. Director Patricia Riggen primarily uses...
