“Beautiful naked women smoke cigarettes and spout Marxist rhetoric. A mysterious man on a park bench scrolls through Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quotes on his iPhone. Howard Hawks’ Only Angels Have Wings is on TV in the background. There are a bunch of shady Germans zooming around in a Mercedes shooting people, because of course there are.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 03/20/2015
