...selfishness used minimalist strategies to reveal the shifting emotional allegiances of a college professor, played with gruff appeal by the director. Shortbus, a U.S. romantic comedy set in a New York City sex salon, might have been the outrage of the festival, since it contained several no-fooling hard-core sex scenes. But John Cameron Mitchell's movie brims with so much fun and heartbreak that it upset few people and beguiled many. The densest concentration of film talent this year - 21 directors, including Alfonso Cuarón, Alexander Payne, Walter Salles, Sylvain Chomet and Tom Tykwer - collaborated on Paris...

...suitably adept at drinking wine and eating cheese. There is a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine for the few who can fit in the cookie-cutter shape of the publication’s officer core. But for the majority of Harvardians without access to these institutions, a new forum has provided an unexpected space to unleash their suppressed desires: Lamont Library. With the advent of the library’s 24-hour schedule, Lamont has become—especially during the doldrums of reading and exam periods?...
