Book Presentation:
Film writings from 1972-1975, by Pauline Kael, the only film critic ever to have won the US National Book Award in Arts and Letters. The collection includes the long, prophetic, analytic essay 'On the Future of Movies' that proved contentious in its criticism of the Hollywood system, which Kael thought debased its audience and ignored its artists. The seventy-four pieces in this book make clear how rich this period was in the history of the cinema.
