About Movie Going

The New York Times has film critic Molly Haskell write about film going now versus then, then being the 60s and 70s, really. It's a lovely article, and, for me, made lovelier by her mention of husband, Andrew Sarris, my favorite film critic. She writes that they met at a screening of "Les Bonnes Femmes," the 1960 Claude Chabrol film. Sarris, in the class I took with him at Columbia (International Film 1960-present), screened "Les Bonnes Femmes" and now I like think that his fondness for the film extends to the context he saw it in.
