Aphoristic summary of 70s film theory

Posted on Monday 3 March 2003

The more I read David Edelstein’s film reviews in Slate, the more I love his smart but snarky tone. His current review of David Gale is top form. I particularly love one quip - “the prospect of more liberal politics wedded to more fascist film techniques” - that so neatly summarizes for me the insights of 1970s film theory. If only I had come up with that.
