Description
In this eighth title in a series in which film-makers discuss their art, there is a focus on critics and criticism. Critics themselves are asked what they think about the state of film criticism and their relationship and responsibility to film and film-makers, and what they dream about. And film-makers are asked about how they regard the critics. This issue also contains articles and interviews with practitioners of film, including a diary from the set of the Coen brothers' film, "The Big Lebowski", and a conversation with Michael Ondaatje, editor of "The English Patient".
