No film critic has ever been as influential or as beloved as Roger
Ebert. Over more than four decades, he built a reputation writing
reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times and, later, arguing onscreen with
rival Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel and later Richard Roeper
about the movies they loved and loathed. But Ebert went well beyond
a mere "thumbs up" or "thumbs down." Readers could always sense the
man behind the words, a man with interests beyond film and a
lifetime's distilled wisdom about the larger world. Although the
world lost one of its most important critics far too early, Ebert
lives on in the minds of moviegoers today, who continually find
themselves debating what he might have thought about a current
movie.The Great Movies IV is the fourth and final collection of
Roger Ebert's essays, comprising sixty-two reviews of films ranging
from the silent era to the recent past. From films like The Cabinet
of Caligari and Viridiana that have been considered canonical for
decades to movies only recently recognized as masterpieces to
Superman, The Big Lebowski, and Pink Floyd: The Wall, the pieces
gathered here demonstrate the critical acumen seen in Ebert's daily
reviews and the more reflective and wide-ranging considerations
that the longer format allowed him to offer. Ebert's essays are
joined here by an insightful foreword by film critic Matt Zoller
Seitz, the current editor-in-chief of the official Roger Ebert
website, and a touching introduction by Chaz Ebert. A fitting
capstone to a truly remarkable career, The Great Movies IV will
introduce newcomers to some of the most exceptional movies ever
made, while revealing new insights to connoisseurs as well.
