Behind the Scenes: Film Critics Dave Kehr & Michael Fox in Conversation, followed by Wild Girl
As a critic with both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Reader, Dave Kehr was known for his ornery opinions, often disagreeing with his colleagues by critically rejecting such esteemed films as Raging Bull and Apocalypse Now, but doing so with impeccable literacy and insight. Now, among other things, he contributes a weekly column on DVD releases to the New York Times, where he writes about revivals and rediscoveries. In this conversation, Kehr and Fox will focus on that aspect of film criticism––writing about film history in a very public forum but beyond the reach of the current release. Screening follows at 8:30 p.m.
