Going Steady: Film Writings 1968-1969
1968 to 1970 was an exciting time for the international cinema. Godard, Truffaut, and Bergman were all at the peak of their powers; in the U.S., Kubrick, De Palma and others were breaking the rules of conventional movie making. The period was also an age of spectacles likePlanet of the Apes,The Lion in Winter, andYellow Submarine. This book reprints all of Pauline Kael's late '60s columns from theNew Yorkermagazine. In her distinctive and inimitable style, Kael reviews both the movies of this era and the cultural trends of the era itself.
