    • Quotes
      (On The Exterminating Angel (1962)) It's dark, but it's also wickedly funny and mysterious in ways that can't be reduced to a simple, analytical explanation. I always thought that's what's great about movies sometimes- the best movies have to be experienced; they can't just be written about.
