The Rhapsodes: How 1940s Critics Changed American Film Culture

Throughout the 1930s and ’40s, film critics Otis Ferguson, James Agee, Manny Farber and Parker Tyler scrutinized what was on the screen with an intensity not previously seen in popular reviewing.

Although largely ignored by the arts media of the day, they honed the sort of serious discussion of films that would be made popular decades later by their contemporaries. Rediscover these remarkable critics with film scholar and critic David Bordwell.
