Mafioso (The Criterion Collection, 3.18.2008) Nino Badalamenti is a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant who hasn't taken a vacation in over two years. On his way out the door to visit his beloved childhood hometown of Sicily -- with his blonde wife and daughters -- Nino is handed a package by his boss and asked to deliver it to a powerful and influential Sicilian gangster named Don Vincenzo. Once in Sicily, Nino has a hoot seeing friends and family, but his wife has trouble fitting in and is unfairly dismissed as a snob by Nino's family. Even more worrisome, Nino finds himself entangled in an intricate web of secret mafioso dealings and is eventually sent on an unexpectedly... elaborate errand. (continued)

Minghella Remembrance

Friends of the late Anthony Minghella have set up a blog site for those who might want to write something about him based on any sort of first-hand experience. (I tried to post a comment but in order to make it stick I have to supply a mysterious Google password that I can't remember, so the hell with it.) If anyone wants to mail something, please send to: Old Chapel Studios, 19 Fleet Road, London NW3 2QR.
