| APOCALYPSE
FAIRLY SOON |
 SUDDENLY, it has become
easy to see how the euro -
that grand, flawed experiment
in monetary union
without political union -
could come apart at the seams.
We're not talking about a distant
prospect, either. Things could fall
apart with stunning speed, in a

his boyhood anti-hero AUDIENCES probably

Shadows this summer,

looking´ is just fine |
 THE kook on the bus had a
Starbucks cup filled with ice
on his head. He was crooning
a soulful version of Fly
Me to the Moon. The guy
was not a performance
artist, and yet his serenade seemed aptly
artful since the M35 bus was headed for
the next big cultural destination, a rock

killer whale attack. The French director
says it´s a sunny romance. Rust and Bone
— a strange and surprising love story

background, but the actress has managed
to carve a niche for herself with her
unconventional choice of scripts. She
however admits it is hard to keep up the
good work in filmdom.
"I feel lucky enough to have had a good start by
working in niche films like Dev D that have a different
style. I have got an opportunity to work with
some very good directors, but it is hard to keep up
the good work," Kalki said.
"It is very important to choose the right kind of
