Bernardo Bertolucci Is Back
By David Haglund
Posted Tuesday, Apr 09, 2013, at 09:57 PM ET

It's been nine years since The Dreamers, Bernardo Bertolucci's last feature film. The Italian director of The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris, and The Last Emperor, among many other movies, turned 73 last month, and he isn't as prolific as he once was. But if you cared for The Dreamers—a story set in 1968 Paris and revolving around an incestuous brother and sister and their new American friend—then you should probably look out for Me and You, even if some critics have called it a "minor effort."

Like The Dreamers, this movie tells the story of a brother and sister. Also like The Dreamers, it's based on a novel—one by Niccolò Ammaniti, whose I'm Not Scared was adapted excellently 10 years ago by Gabriele Salvatores.

No word yet on U.S. distribution for Me and You. But we'll be keeping an eye out.

Politics
American Margaret
Why American conservatives miss Margaret Thatcher so much.
By David Weigel
Posted Tuesday, Apr 09, 2013, at 12:02 AM ET

Two summers ago, as it rolled out its all-economy all-the-time message, the Mitt Romney campaign borrowed a slogan from Margaret Thatcher. A Web ad appearing on news sites showed a bending unemployment line—sorry, queue—of sad-looking people in outdated clothes. Above this, the slogan: OBAMA ISN'T WORKING.

It was a loving tribute, stock photo and all, to LABOUR ISN'T WORKING, one of the slogans that elected Thatcher in 1979. "The unemployment rate in England was lower than today in the [United States]," Romney strategist Stuart Stevens told me then. "No President has ever been re-elected with a net loss job record, because no President has ever had a net loss."

Thatcher won three elections. Romney didn't. Already, the loss of Thatcher is being felt more acutely among American conservatives than the defeat of that nice businessman with the wingtips and the gaffes. Romney was brought low by suggesting that voters who felt "entitled" or got "gifts" from the state would vote Democratic. Republicans denounced him. Imagine if he'd said, "there's no such thing as society" or "no one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions" or "it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands."

American conservatives viewed Thatcher as a saint, and as an example. By the late 1970s, they saw the United Kingdom as a cautionary tale of what happened when socialism came to a market economy—and when both parties went along with it ...
