Manny Farber, one of the most important critics in movie
history, championed the American action film—the bravado of
Howard Hawks, the art brut styling of Samuel Fuller, the
crafty, sordid entertainments of Don Siegel—at a time when
other critics dismissed the genre. His witty, incisive
criticism later worked exacting language into an
exploration of the feelings and strategies that went into
low-budget and radical films as diverse as Michael Snow's
Wavelength, Werner Herzog's Fata Morgana, and Chantal
Akerman's Jeanne Dielman. Expanded with an in-depth
interview and seven essays written with his wife, artist
Patricia Patterson, Negative Space gathers Farber's most
influential writings, making this an indispensable
collection for all lovers of film.
