Eschewing the idea of film reviewer-as-solitary-expert, Jonathan
Rosenbaum continues to advance his belief that a critic's ideal
role is to mediate and facilitate our public discussion of cinema.
Portraits and Polemics presents debate as an important form of
cinematic encounter whether one argues with filmmakers themselves,
on behalf of their work, or with one's self. Rosenbaum takes on
filmmakers like Chantal Akerman, Richard Linklater, Manoel De
Oliveira, Mark Rappaport, Elaine May, and Bela Tarr. He also
engages, implicitly and explicitly, with other writers, arguing
with Pauline Kael-and Wikipedia-over Jacques Demy, with the
Hollywood Reporter and Variety reviewers of Jarmusch's The Limits
of Control, with David Thomson about James L. Brooks, and with many
American and English film critics about misrepresented figures from
Jerry Lewis to Yasujiro Ozu to Orson Welles. Throughout, Rosenbaum
mines insights, pursues pet notions, and invites readers to join
the fray.
