Movie Love
After 24 years of writing about films for The New Yorker , Kael has retired from regular reviewing. This, her 11th and last collection of previously published reviews, doesn't pretend to be comprehensive for the period covered, yet does cover most major film releases. In what may be her best collection, her writing is less hyperbolic, her judgments more considered--yet her enthusiasm seems undimmed. As usual, she does not hesitate to go her own way; she pans both recent Oscar-winning films Rain Man and Dances with Wolves (the latter review provides the book's best line: "Costner has feathers in his hair and feathers in his head"). For most film collections.- Thomas Wiener, formerly with "American Film," Washington, D.C.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
