...endearing star of Bernardo Bertolucci's 1993 movie, Little Buddha, Raju Lal was a shoeshine boy when he was plucked from the slums of Katmandu and ushered into the realm of movie acting. Now his worldly success has faded (especially the money), and Raju is trolling for work in the fly-blown lanes of the Pahargunj slum of New Delhi.

Meanwhile, Bernardo Bertolucci returned to Italy for his first film at home in 15 years, yet his Stealing Beauty was also an English-language film--and a largely ludicrous one, filled with an international idle-class group of poseurs and gossips, all fawning over 19-year-old Liv Tyler. Her face, with...
