   Is the Dancer Upstairs a good book?

   • "The Dancer Upstairs" is not an easy book to read, but it's an important one as long as terrorism exists. Half the people we meet, we get wrong. These words could describe the theme of Nicholas Shakespeare’s moody, stylish, and atmospheric political thriller, The Dancer Upstairs.

   Who filmed 'the Dancer Upstairs'?

   • Impressively shot by José Luis Alcaine, it's partly indebted to the political dramas of Costa-Gavras, whose "State of Siege" is watched by Rejas, although "The Dancer Upstairs" is less strident and melodramatic in its tone. Where can I see this film? John Malkovich turns director in this absorbing, topical tale of a society's response to terrorism.
