Filtering through Sarris
Since hearing of Andrew Sarris's death last week, I'd been wondering about the community's thoughts on his work. Do his opinions on auteurism jive with how you perceive film?
I thumbed through my copy of The American Cinema this past week to look back at his opinions on Samuel Fuller and found that, if nothing else, he seemed to widen the field of criticism to be more inclusive of genre.
