'The Constant Gardener'
![John Le Carré has been a writer of literate thrillers almost as long as Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles has been alive.

Their methods shouldn't mix, but in "The Constant Gardener," assisted by superior acting by Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz and an outstanding supporting cast, they've joined forces to create a film that grips us dramatically, intellectually and emotionally.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-09/19220950.jpg "John Le Carré has been a writer of literate thrillers almost as long as Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles has been alive.

L'Ennui (Boredom)
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday October 15, 1999 Cedric Kahn's relentless "L'Ennui" is such a rigorous exploration of sexual obsession that it proves to be a most demanding film.

'Birth'
!["Birth" might be more accurately called "Rebirth." Lit up by an incandescent Nicole Kidman performance, this adventurous film, daring and frustrating by turns, uses cinematic skill to raise provocative questions about love, belief, memory and reincarnation.
