Pauline Kael Says Good Movies Never Make You Feel Virtuous by Pauline Kael on Free Online Audio

Pauline Kael weighs in on many films from the 1980s in this interview from Fresh Air. At the time she was championing smaller films and genre pictures that she felt were better than the big blockbuster movies of the 1980s. She comments on all the hate mail she receives for panning movies that most other critics liked. Kael loved to take the air out of pompous, important cinema and she does so in this interview. She also pokes fun at the virtuous, feel-good, life-affirming films out there that have been made forever but were popular in the 1980s. She points out that in the 1980s movie audiences were starting to fragment with most people attending the blockbuster movies, while smaller audiences found the niche of arthouse cinema. This fragmentation of the audience would increasingly accelerate into the 1990s and beyond.
