[edit] ANDREW SARRIS, AMERICAN FILM CRITIC
Armed with a caustic wit and flair for the polemic, Sarris has long-championed American cinema and inspired American filmmakers and critics. This collection of essays honouring Andrew Sarris brings together some of Hollywood's prominent film critics and directors.
This collection of essays pays tribute to film critic Andrew Sarris. A noted film 'cultist,' Sarris occupies a unique position, walking the line between popular journalism and straight scholarship. He began his career in the 1960's with a passion for film and an eloquent style of prose that led him to become the 'voice of the avant-garde.' As a columnist for and as the editor of the Village Voice, Sarris reached the American masses and became respected by the academics of New York's film schools. The thirty-eight essays assembled here and arranged according to major theme demonstrate the influence Sarris has had on fellow critics, filmmakers, and American popular culture. Contributors include noted critics Leonard Maltin and Molly Haskell, and directors such as Martin Scorsese as well as observations from Sarris himself.
