Reviews

Can there be any doubt at this date that Robin Wood was the greatest film critic of our age? His book on The Apu Trilogy, out of print for forty years, remains unsurpassed criticism of the remarkable work of Satyajit Ray. Wood displays his superb close reading, insistence on seriousness, great generosity of spirit, and concern for evaluation of art. -Christopher Sharrett, author of The Rifleman (Wayne State University Press, 2005)
