The Hollywood Reporter

Alena Smith cites Vera Chytilová’s 1966 film Daisies as one of her favorites for being "feminine and disruptive at the same time." As for Mad Men, Smith says: “It felt like the new frontier of what TV could be. There were so many different characters who all had their own point of view and perspective, and you could attach yourself to any of them. It really felt like a literary world populated with characters.”
