Journalism & Nonfiction Editorial Review
The Age of Movies: Selected Writings of Pauline Kael provides a valuable and interesting collection of essays for any film buff interested in serious film criticism. It is a compendium of excerpts from Kael's books along with some critical essays of important films. Kael was a serious and tough critic who preferred meaningful films over the simply spectacular. Her reviews exclude star ratings and analyse films using her knowledge of society, culture, and economics, along with literary works that are the basis of movies. Her views may be controversial, but they are well-reasoned and demonstrate her unique critical style. The book includes her views on many American and foreign classic films, a short bio of Cary Grant, a critique of a book about Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and other topics. Although readers may not always agree with her, reading her essays is still to read great writing and insightful analysis.
