Everything Is Cinema and Criticism Is Nothing: Stephanie Zacharek, G

Message List

Message #48426 of 49242 |

I've written a response to Stephanie Zacharek's New York Times review of
Richard Brody's Godard book, in which she mostly took the opportunity to
dismiss Godard's late films out of hand, take swipes at his credibility, and
parrot Brody's most questionable assertions about the filmmaker's politics
and beliefs. My response is here:
