"The Tailor of Panama" casts Pierce Brosnan as a British agent — no, not that one. In director John Boorman's astutely comic film version of John Le Carr's 1996 novel, Brosnan plays Andy Osnard, an unscrupulous operative downgraded to duty in dull Panama. Playing a villain becomes Brosnan; he's looser, sexier, edgier. Still, the show belongs to Geoffrey Rush in a note-perfect performance as Harry Pendel, the tailor who caters to his "gentlemen" with the finest Savile Row worsteds. "Mr. Connery's preference," says Harry , who is a droll liar, an ex-con hiding his past from his wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) and two children. How Andy abuses this genial tailor, and the tragic results of Harry's revenge, are the stuff of a hypnotic film that stays resonantly humane even as Boorman skewers British and American diplomacy with martini-dry wit.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
