Frank, obviously, has a drinking problem. And it is interfering with his job performance. Indeed, he sleeps straight through his next assignment. Since he's a hit man for a fading mob, that is not exactly a good career move. His boss (Philip Baker Hall) orders him to San Francisco to dry out. On the face of it, this is not a good idea; Frank is not what you'd call a logical candidate for AA pieties. He's perhaps a better fit for the job that's found for him in a funeral parlor; dead bodies...

He has also been a father figure to younger colleagues-one that isn't afraid to share the credit. "He's a guiding teacher," says Kazutoshi...
...true what Henry James said about Venice? "There is nothing left to discover or describe, and originality of attitude is utterly impossible." Certainly there's no point in trying to think of something new to say about the canals, the gilded palaces or the fat pigeons in San Marco. But every two years - this is one of them - Venice itself comes up with something new, the Venice Biennale, founded in 1895 and now the world's oldest international art fair...
