Pauline Kael on Stanley Kubrick and More in 1972 by Pauline Kael on Free Online Audio

Pauline Kael sits down with Studs Terkel for an hour-long conversation about movies in the year 1972. She pans many beloved films of the time including Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and A Clockwork Orange (1971), which she denounces for their coldness. Kael talks about the new popularity of violence in movies which she feels is often portrayed as a sensual pleasure absent of pain. She also has harsh words for The Graduate (1967), Straw Dogs (1971), The French Connection (1971), Dirty Harry (1971), Five Easy Pieces (1970), and more. She praises the works of Jean Renoir and Vittorio De Sica as directors who have feelings and love for all of their characters. In general, Studs agrees with her throughout. Note: The Studs Terkel Radio Archive says this is from 1980, but it's from 1972 according to the films discussed.
