Corbijn says making the film has served to "round off a certain part of my life," in which music has been his prime inspiration; it also offers a powerful new outlet for the narrative gift that has always been his artistic trademark...

What his opponents expect and fear is that Romney will write himself a huge check shortly after the beginning of the new year to provide himself a massive infusion of funds for the early round of primaries. Not until those contests are all over - and in all likelihood, the nomination is wrapped up - will there be any legal record of how much Romney spent...
