...That, anyway, is the conclusion to be drawn from two new indie films opening today in New York and, a little later, around the country. In the just-OK Married Life, a cheating husband schemes to be permanently rid of his longtime wife. Snow Angels, the one you should track down, has nothing but unhappy marriages, some of them slowly, painfully, disintegrating, and one ready to blow...
...human eye. The previously-mentioned “In the Near Future” by Sharon Hayes consists of a series of projected images. Hayes stands in various locations in New York City that have been home to political and civil demonstrations in the past, while the hand-drawn protest signs she holds in her hands invoke their spirit.

...good story. The Nicaraguan revolution was over, and most of the "Sandalistas" (the nickname that combined their preferences in politics and footwear) saw no point in staying on: There was nothing sexy about helping out a centrist transition government led by a grandmotherly widow when you'd been drawn here by the allure of a regime of guerrilla poets...
