"There are many pleasures in this book: sex, travel, philosophy, art history. Benderson's louche tale is woven through a closely observed study of Romania, politically, historically and sociologically, the end of his mother's life, and the love affair between Romania's interbellum King Carol II and his Jewish mistress Magda Lupescu."

"You've got to understand something about me and my career: I'm a romantic in life philosophy, in how I look at the world, the beauty of nature, of relationships. But I never got to do those roles. In my twenties, I wanted to be in a Splendor in the Grass."

"My students always ask me to explain the ending, or what the film means. I can’t. I only know it has a powerful effect on me. The documentary on the making of the movie, in which we discover Kieslowski’s philosophy and methods, has become required viewing in all my classes."
