About the Book

The World Framed: Stanley Kauffmann on Films, 1958-2007 is the first comprehensive posthumous collection of film criticism by the late Stanley Kauffmann (1916-2013). Kauffmann's creative life spanned seven decades: starting in 1958 and continuing until 2013, he was a film and drama critic for The New Republic, The New York Times, and Saturday Review, among other publications. Along with Dwight Macdonald, Andrew Sarris, Pauline Kael, and John Simon, Kauffmann was one of the most potent, influential critics included in the New York school of twentieth-century American criticism - and this latest collection yet again proves why. The present volume, part one of The World Framed, contains a selection of Stanley Kauffmann's film criticism - arranged chronologically, by section, from the earliest piece to the latest - written during five decades of his journalistic career. These pieces were selected on the basis of their international as well as national (American) representativeness, and with the idea in mind of creating a balance between prominent film directors and directors less prominent or relatively early in their careers. Included in this volume of The World Framed, then, are reviews of such notable fiction features (at the time of their initial American release) as Ingmar Bergman's The Devil's Wanton, Satyajit Ray's The World of Apu, David Lean's The Bridge on The River Kwai, Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest, Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Marriage of Maria Braun, Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters, Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate, and Jean Cocteau's Testament of Orpheus; reconsiderations of such classic films as Charles Chaplin's A Woman of Paris, Luis Bui??uel's L'i??ge d'Or, and Jean Renoir's La Vie est a nou; evaluative records of important documentaries like Frederic Rossif's To Die in Madrid, Peter Davis's Hearts and Minds, and Michael Moore's Roger & Me; reviews of books by Pauline Kael, Ingmar Bergman, and Michael Caine; and ruminations on such important subjects as screenwriting, the practice of dubbing, and the auteur theory. The precision, wit, and wisdom of Kauffmann's writing chime in Volume 1 of The World Framed, as, once again, he reveals his sense of cultural mission - and love of all the arts - by applying to film the same high standards he applied during his long career to fiction, poetry, music, and drama.
