I'd never heard of Pauline Kael, but I'll search out some of her work now. Reminded me of Clive James, who I adored. Might be way off the mark on that, but I'm looking forward to discovering more. This was an outstanding critique of an exceptional writer, thank you.
Sorry Stephen, but I thought she was America's most overrated film critic. Not that I rate American film critics highly in general. Or their rock music critics for that matter.
If this blog was to alert a new audience to the pen of a acerbic female critic they may well have missed, then it has been an unqualified success.
