Petra Blaisse and Rem Koolhaas turned the collaboration of draper and designer into something combustibly seductive.

Rolling Stone magazine's Peter Travers praised the performances of Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis: "They are combustibly funny, finding nuance even in nonsense.

With "Into the Fire," language becomes an instrument and a noise in itself, moving in and out of focus, reacting combustibly with itself, like the noise of a boombox symphony.

With Ms. Duncan and Mr. Rickman as the once-married Amanda and Elyot, who reunite combustibly while on their honeymoons with other people, this London import doesn't stint on the expected glamour or knockabout farce.

Not that the fiercely talented Mr. Norton, known for films like "Primal Fear" and "American History X," doesn't blaze in the role created by Mr. Malkovich, that of a coke-snorting, combustibly hyper restaurant manager.
