| - | :[[Manny Farber]], one of the most important critics in movie history, championed the American [[action film]]—the bravado of [[Howard Hawks]], the [[art brut]] styling of [[Samuel Fuller]], the crafty, sordid entertainments of [[Don Siegel]]—at a time when other critics dismissed the genre. His witty, incisive criticism later worked exacting language into an exploration of the feelings and strategies that went into low-budget and radical films as diverse as [[Michael Snow]]'s ''[[Wavelength]]'', [[Werner Herzog]]'s ''[[Fata Morgana (film)|Fata Morgana]]'', and [[Chantal Akerman]]'s ''[[Jeanne Dielman]]''. Expanded with an in-depth interview and seven essays written with his wife, artist [[Patricia Patterson]], ''[[Negative Space]]'' gathers Farber's most influential writings, making this an indispensable collection for all lovers of film. | + | |
