I saw Clouzot's "Les diaboliques", Visconti's "Rocco e i suoi fratelli" (I don't know why I chose to see it again, it upsets me so), Jehane Noujaim's "Control Room" about al-Jazeera's reporting on Iraq, and, yesterday, the absolutely sublime "Pépé le Moko", followed by "Voici les temps des assassins".
Samir Khadir in "Control Room" reminded me of all the intelligent, ironic, wise, complex Arab friends of ours and of the incomprehensible chasm between them and the Americans exemplified by the good and earnest, completely clueless Lt. Rushing. And yet, he had a breakthrough of sorts, when he realized that the sight of Arab victims had the same effect on Arabs as the one seeing dead and imprisoned American soldiers had on him.
