Deeper into Movies

Deeper into Movies
1st edition (publ. Little, Brown)

Deeper Into Movies (1973) is the fourth collection of Pauline Kael's movie reviews from 1969-1972, which were originally published by The New Yorker. It was the first such book to win the American National Book Award in 1974.

Containing reviews of individual films from the aforementioned time period, the collection also includes a long essay entitled Numbing the Audience.

In the anthology, Kael praises the merits of then upcoming directors such as Robert Altman and Francis Ford Coppola in her reviews of MASH, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, and The Godfather, while panning the movies of directors such as Stanley Kubrick and his A Clockwork Orange for its brutality and moral convolutions.

The book is now out-of-print in the United States, but is still published in the United Kingdom by Marion Boyars Publishers, an independent publishing company.
