The new film from the South Korean director of Oldboy is a stunning feast for the senses but veers off-track with its overlong meditation on vampirism.

Susanna Kaysen Lays It on the Line
The Camera My Mother Gave Me, by Girl, Interrupted author Susanna Kaysen, is a memoir that has nothing to do with either the author's camera or her mother, Marion Winik writes.

"...have been waiting for more from this writer since Girl, Interrupted will not be disappointed. Kaysen's deadpan, ironic, stripped-down..."
