'Paris, Je T'Aime'
Times Staff WriterNew York may be a perennial movie character and Los Angeles a backdrop, but for elegiac representations of itself, Paris beats them both. While no other city can boast such a long-term, intimate connection with the movies, like so many cinematic icons,...Tags: Walter Salles, Steve Buscemi, Gena Rowlands, Natalie Portman, Entertainment

FOR THE TIMESFriday November 6, 1998 Period movies inevitably reflect more about the period in which they're made than the period of their subject, and rarely has that been more evident--or more distracting--than it is with Indian director Shekhar Kapur's...Tags: Brian de Palma, Anne Boleyn, Geoffrey Rush, Christopher Eccleston, Christianity

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.

'Callas Forever'
![Franco Zeffirelli gets to honor his old friend in 'Callas Forever.' It took director Franco Zeffirelli a quarter of a century to figure out how best to pay homage on screen to his longtime friend and colleague, opera legend Maria Callas, who died at 53 in 1977. It was worth the wait, for with "Callas Forever" he and playwright Martin Sherman have come up with an inspired way to make fiction suggest what Callas the woman was like. Casting the elegant and witty Fanny Ardant as Callas was also inspired. The result is not only one of Zeffirelli's sumptuous productions but also a film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity that to Zeffirelli Callas embodied fully.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-11/14949626.jpg "Franco Zeffirelli gets to honor his old friend in 'Callas Forever.'

'Bendito Infierno'
![Agustin Díaz Yanes' "Bendito Infierno" ("Blessed Inferno"), the third offering in the Viva tu Ciné! series of Spanish-language films being released in selected theaters in the Los Angeles area, is a disappointment, especially since it features international stars Penélope Cruz and Gael García Bernal along with well-known Spanish actors Victoria Abril, Demián Bichir and French diva Fanny Ardant.
