Citizen Kael: The Legacy of Film Critic Pauline Kael

Renowned film critic Pauline Kael has just been announced as the rumored subject of filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s tenth and final film, “The Movie Critic.” Pauline Kael, who passed away in 2001, was known for being a film critic who wrote for the New Yorker from the 60s through the 90s.Bonnie and ClydeFaye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in “Bonnie and Clyde”. Kael’s groundbreaking review of the film helped lead to its success. Credit: Warner Bros. PicturesKael’s career, which spanned decades, focused on many different films, but one of her most influential reviews came at the beginning of her career when she wrote her review of “Bonnie and Clyde”, Arthur Penn’s gangster biopic starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. While many critics bashed the film, especially for its violence, Kael revered it. “How do you make a good movie in this country without being jumped on? “Bonnie and Clyde” is the most exciting American American movie since “The Manchurian Candidate.” The audience is alive to it,” wrote Kael. “Our experience as we watch it has some connection with how we reacted to movies in childhood: with how we came to love them and to feel they were ours—not an art that we learned over the years to appreciate but simply and immediately ours. When an American movie is contemporary in feeling, like this one, it makes a different contact with an American audience from the kind made by European films, however contemporary.”She has a remarkable ability to put beautiful prose into her reviews without sounding pretentious or overbearing. She has just the right amount of quip, and her points are so well thought out that it’s tough to disagree with her.The Godfather(From left to right) James Caan, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and John Cazale in “The Godfather”, which Kael highly reviewed.

Film critic Kael Crossword Clue

Given here to be honest. Looks like a well informed critic, who knows her stuff, that's for sure. #8 crheath Posted 19 November 2009 - 09:20 PM After listening to Pauline Kael's comments on the Bond films around the late 70s and early 80s, I have come to the conclusion that she was like any other film critic - someone to ignore.If you want to ignore then why are you commenting? #9 Turn Posted 20 November 2009 - 02:02 AM I always found it curious that Kael once claimed Connery's best performance as Bond came in You Only Live Twice. Her comments on the Moore era weren't anything radical as her views were mostly in line with the majority of critics and reviewers during that time.Though many view her as a high-brow snob, and I admittedly am not a big fan, I like that Kael didn't find herself above talking about action pictures and B films, some of which she was quite fond of. #10 PrinceKamalKhan Posted 20 November 2009 - 02:24 AM Interesting. Thanks for posting. I didn't always agree with Pauline Kael but I often found her reviews fascinating to read. It's interesting that Miss Kael was one of the few critics in 1969 who gave a positive review to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service which I believed she called "marvellous fun". I think You Only Live Twice was her favorite Connery film if I remember correctly. I think the last Bond film she reviewed was A View to a Kill. I would've like to know what she thought of Dalton's Bond and his films but I don't think she ever reviewed them. #11 crheath Posted 20 November 2009 - 04:17 AM I always found it curious that Kael once claimed Connery's best performance as Bond came in

Female Film Critic Pauline Kael

Didn’t follow one person. I am sure some people made very good biographical films following only one person. For me, the place, the institution, is the star rather than “the institution as by Bob Dylan” — rather than just following one person… I’m sure people make very good films following one person, but for some reason — I’m not dodging in telling you, I just don’t know the reason — I just thought it would be interesting to make the place the star. DEADLINE: Early on in your career, the great New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael took notice of your work. What did that mean to you? WISEMAN: Pauline’s review of High School was the first major review that I had, and it made a big difference because she recognized what I was trying to do, and she gave my work the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval… She was a great critic. As a result of that review, I got to know her a little bit. She was a very smart, very tough woman and very funny. (L-R) Léo Troisgros, director Frederick Wiseman, and Michel Troisgros attend a photo call for ‘Menu Plaisirs – Les Troisgros’ at the 2023 Venice Film Festival Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images) DEADLINE: In Ballet, there are some wonderful scenes with the dancer-choreographer Agnes de Mille filmed late in her life. At one point an interviewer asks her, “Given the difficulties of creating, what is it that keeps you continuing to do it?” I thought maybe I could turn that question to you and ask of this extraordinary career of yours that’s continued well into your 90s, what keeps you doing it? WISEMAN: I like it. Obviously, I like it. In fact, I’m depressed when I’m not working. I like to be completely absorbed in work, in a film… I sit in a chair for months at a time and live in the world of the film. And it’s not that I don’t do anything else, but I work 8, 10, 11 hours a day on the editing. I’ve never felt it tiring because editing is fascinating work. I see how the movie’s going to come out. It’s nice to have an opportunity to follow the flow of my ideas, such as they are. DEADLINE: And on that score, are you planning another film? WISEMAN: Unfortunately, the last year I’ve been sick, and I don’t actually have the energy to do a film, so at the moment I’m planning nothing. It’s difficult for me because I’ve been working steadily since 1966, but I perhaps have to reconcile myself to the fact that I’m 95. At the moment, there’s no other film in prospect. DEADLINE: Do.

GODMOTHER OF FILM CRITICISM PAULINE KAEL:

Paramount PicturesAnother great work of Kael’s is her review of “The Godfather” series, Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic gangster films that have gone down as some of the greatest movie duos ever. Kael takes the time to analyze the film almost in the same light as the opening of the film– “I believe in America.”“It’s an epic vision of the corruption of America,” wrote Kael in her 1974 review.Paramount Pictures Job as Creative ConsultantTarantino’s film supposedly takes place during the late 70s, and some fans are speculating that it took place when Kael was working at Paramount Pictures, a job given to her by Warren Beatty.Kael’s position as a creative consultant was short-lived, as her blunt and opinionated nature caused some tension among studio executives.In Kael’s biography, Brian Kellow explains, “In a short time, Pauline demonstrated her lack of finesse at the game of studio politics. It led her to deliver several blunt judgments to executives who weren’t used to being spoken to quite so sharply.”Kael didn’t spend long in the position, but it was still an influential part of her career and her relationship with other prominent people, such as Beatty.Tarantino and WritingFans also speculate that this film will take the history revisionism stance of many of Tarantino’s works, most recently his film “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood”, which follows an aging star and his stuntman who kill the Manson family.Tarantino has reportedly finished the script, but there isn’t a studio attached yet or a release date. However, focusing on a film critic like Kael, who loved the idea of movies, would be a great way to finish off.Tarantino has had a rough go with critics and has often faced off against them in the media. Much of the controversy comes from his movies being so violent, as almost all

Of a better way to live."The Pauline Kael documentary was mixed with interviews, photos, and old movie clips. The woman who voiced Marlene Dietrich (Amanda Sykes) was so off! Some of the movie clips did not have anything to do with her reviews and some (Avatar) came out after she had died. The documentary perhaps covered an important aspect of a post-Pauline-Kael world and that film reviewing has been fragmented by the internet. Everyone has a voice now.All in all, she wrote 13 books, hurt people's feelings, was devoted to her daughter and the arts, and complained about having to supplement her income as a critic. Apparently, she changed the art of film criticism and held on tenaciously to her opinions which often went against the grain. Recommended for anyone that is interested in film criticism or film history.Vegan alert:-Bullfighting footage -Milk In the past few months the more I’ve been reviewing movies the more I’ve been questioning whether I should, whether I need to, whether anyone else needs me to - I’ve kind of been working on a “How insane is it that this job exists! People want to PAY for my FEELINGS!” kind of basis. So to watch this doc, notebook open on my lap, sat between two guys (both strangers) who asked me independently why I was so excited and told me why I should be reading more of Pauline Karl’s work but also told me to be wary because she ruined Blade Runner: reader, I may have shed a few small tears. It’s the end of my Berlinale… An appropriately prickly and entertaining overview of Kael’s career. She would’ve been huge on Letterboxd Dot Com. “One doesn’t need to rationalize one’s instincts.”Rob Garver’s What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael is a good overview of the critic. Garver effectively balances clips of Kael’s many TV interviews—thank you, Dick Cavett—scenes from films she liked and disliked, and interviews with critics and filmmakers who knew her or admired her or had mixed feelings. The controversial side of Kael is covered briefly: her dismissal of Andrew Sarris’s auteur criticism, her excessive championing, despite her misgivings about auteurism, of such directors as Robert Altman and Brian De Palma, her dismissal of Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah, her claim that Herman Mankiewicz is the true auteur of Citizen Kane. We hear passages from Kael’s writings (read by Sarah Jessica Parker)… As absent

#1 ChristopherZ22 Sub-Lieutenant Crew 103 posts Location:Sherman Oaks, California Posted 19 November 2009 - 04:48 AM Pauline Kael was the most influential film critic of the 20th century. Here is an interview of her in 1982 in which she discusses Bond. This segment of the interview is over 7 minutes, but the topic of Bond begins at precisely 4:59. Edited by ChristopherZ22, 19 November 2009 - 04:50 AM. #2 crheath Posted 19 November 2009 - 06:20 AM That's very interesting hearing her talk about NSNA. When that movie came out in 83, she didn't review it and I have never seen her write a review of NSNA. I always wanted to hear what she had to say. My guess is that she didn't like it but didn't want to give it a bad review since she liked Connery, Kershner and Semple Jr. Thanks for posting. #3 Safari Suit Posted 19 November 2009 - 02:43 PM Her voice and demeanour are nothing like I expected. #4 the other fellow the other fellow Location:Melbourne, Australia Posted 19 November 2009 - 05:02 PM Thanks for that link ChristopherZ22.I'd always wondered what she looked like, and it was interesting to hear her opinions on Bond. #5 DR76 Posted 19 November 2009 - 05:30 PM After listening to Pauline Kael's comments on the Bond films around the late 70s and early 80s, I have come to the conclusion that she was like any other film critic - someone to ignore. #6 Safari Suit Posted 19 November 2009 - 06:15 PM What in particular rankled you?
