"Her Mission: Save the World Without Offending Anyone"
'The Interpreter': Her Mission: Save the World Without Offending Anyone: "Making the United Nations look good is easy compared to the movie's main imaginative ambition, which is to turn Nicole Kidman, apotheosis of all that is blond in Hollywood today, into the embodiment of African suffering. Silvia, Ms. Kidman's character, may have a European education, but her roots are in the troubled (and fictional) African nation of Matobo, where her parents were white farmers...
Dot is played by Catherine Keener, a wonderful, underused actress who, if there is any justice in Hollywood, will someday have her own chance to embody the sufferings of the African continent."
