I care about Miss Kael’s criticism as literature. Her reviews can be read before, immediately after and long after we have seen the movie that inspires or exasperates her.
John Leonard, New York Times
Pauline Kael is the critic you can read every inch of the way with pure pleasure.’
The Guardian
I Lost It at the Movies is vintage Kael on many of the classics of post-war cinema, writing comments so fresh and direct, it’s as if the movies had only been released last week.
The movies covered include:
On the waterfront, East of Eden, Blackboard jungle, Room at the top, Look back in anger, The entertainer, Sons and lovers, Saturday night and Sunday morning, Hud, The beggar’s opera, The seven samurai, West Side story, The day the earth caught fire, Lolita, A Taste of Honey, La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2, Billy Budd
One of America’s foremost film critics, Pauline Kael (June 19, 1919 – September 3, 2001) was an American film critic who wrote for The New Yorker from 1968 to 1991 and among other accolades, won a National Book Award in 1974 for Deeper into Movies. She has been credited with reinventing the art of film criticism.
