These booths are cleverly designed. Their over-hanging roofs lower to cover the (smaller) bases for overnight and bad weather storage, incorporating display, storage and roofing functions in one compact unit.

His new film, Leo the Last, appears to have been made with a greater degree of directorial freedom than he has ever had; he even shares screen credit for the script. The result is a stunning but simplistic political parable that might have benefited from...
