It's interesting to read her books, or listen to her books on
tape... you often may not agree with many of her opinions, but she is
often a stimulating, thought provoking critic...

Never heard of her. Looks like she wrote about American movies. I prefer to
read fiction (comedy, science fiction, etc). And she probably doesn't have
much to say on modern movies as she died in 2001...

Pauline Kael was the in-house film critic for The New Yorker for several
decades.

I LOVE Susan Sontag!!! She is one of my favorite writers... She
really stimulates the brain... Speaking of Sontag and Kael, there is
an interesting book called "Sontag and Kael", by Craig Seligman(who
was a friend of Kael), comparing the 2 women...
