Movies: Summer’s Anti-Blockbusters

The World

The Takeaway talks to two movie critics about the anti-blockbuster movies of the summer, particularly foreign films. We talk about the British film “In the Loop,” described as a combination of the West Wing and The Office, and “A Woman in Berlin,” about a rape victim during the Red Army occupation. The two film critics joining The Takeaway this morning are A. O. Scott, film critic for The New York Times, and Wesley Morris, film critic for the Boston Globe.
