Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Kauffmann's is a civilized, easygoing style... He is a man at home in film history, conversant with culture and the arts, informative without being preachy, using his writing to think about his subject and pleased to take us into his confidence. He is most certainly a master of the felicitous phrase and memorable characterization... He is an equally good judge of acting... Knowledgeableness is quietly integrated, not flashily displayed... There is humane wisdom in these pieces." -- John Simon, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Now that commerce and gossip have become the preeminent content of writing about movies, Kauffmann's quiet passion and steadfast dedication are more valuable than ever." -- Booklist

"Altogether more balanced and sanguine than the work of most younger journalists." -- Philip French, Times Literary Supplement

"For decades [Kauffmann] has brought sobriety and affectionate restraint to his reviews of films... Kauffmann has quietly gone about his work, refusing to find broad cultural significance where there is none yet willing to treat pop culture with the thoughtful dignity and calm it often deserves... Regarding Film is an excellent place to begin reading him." -- George Fetherling, Vancouver Sun

"Stanley Kauffmann's subtle and enthusiastic reviews could contribute to the return of cinephilia... Acute analyses which highlight some details that only a true movie lover can notice and appreciate." -- Nicolas Magenham, Cercles

Críticas:

"Stanley Kauffmann cares, valiantly, ardently, about movies. He is -- doesn't everyone know this? -- one of our national treasures." -- Susan Sontag
