...other on the phone and organizing excursions to restaurants and shops. They help one another set daily goals: cook breakfast, buy Mom a birthday card, look for a job. They also learn to do mundane chores: washing clothes in the hospital laundry room and cooking in a tiny employee kitchen. Nothing is easy. Soap goes into the washing machines, but clothes are often forgotten. Because schizophrenics have certain cognitive problems, they have trouble generalizing the principles behind the chores. Thus learning to fry chicken doesn't mean they will know how to cook a hamburger. Technical skills can be mastered...

Seamlessly, she shifts to her family's life within its walls, how her three children enjoy biking through Phoenix Park, how she came to put a light in the family kitchen window -- the Irish symbolic welcome home to those who have emigrated. When the session is over and the President has slipped away as quietly as she arrived, everyone is beaming. A white-haired lady sighs with satisfaction and breathes, "Isn't she someone to be proud...

He could be a death-row denizen musing about the ends of life and love...
There is a new style in European cinema -- finally. For three decades, since Michelangelo Antonioni and Robert Bresson made anomie fashionable, European directors have dreamed -- or nightmared -- small. Their movies are dyspeptic miniatures: people sitting at a kitchen table, silent, sullen, waiting for the worst. Everybody, on both sides of the camera, has the glums. The camerabatic dazzle of, say, the French New Wave is now politically incorrect -- as if displaying any effervescence of imagination would betray a yearning for Hollywood's technical and narrative know-how. So the European cinema has aged like a movie star who retired decades...
