Meeting celebrities isn't kind of my schtick. That was the schtick of the previous guy," Harper said.

Adolescence has been characterized by G. Stanley Hall, the first psychologist to advance a scientific theory of adolescence, as a period of "storm and stress" (Muuss, 1996: 16-17). Studies in the west indicate that adolescence is a time when conflict with parents increases sharply (Paikoff and [Jeanne Brooks-Gunn], 1991; Arnett, 1999).

Though certain details have been changed, The Counterfeiters ?-- which won last year's Oscar for foreign-language film -- is based on The Devil's Workshop, Adolf Burger's memoir of the largest counterfeiting operation in history. It starts in 1936, with Sorowitsch, a career criminal and cynical opportunist, thriving in the social chaos of between-the-wars Berlin.
Dutch director Paul Verhoeven approached similar territory in 2006's Black Book, but his take tended to slightly bizarre melodrama. The Counterfeiters deals mostly in quiet, killing irony. While less graphic than many Holocaust films, its final effect is harrowing.[Karl Markovics], who plays master counterfeiter Salomon Sorowitsch in this morally uncomfortable Holocaust drama (in German, with subtitles), has a great face -- and...
