What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael

What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael

Presented by California Film Institute at Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center

The now legendary New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael battled to make her mark — fueled by brilliance, unshakable self-confidence, a complicated past, and a deep love of the arts.

Kael undisputedly transformed film into an art form in the eyes of the public. The story is told largely through Kael’s own words, which are collected from interviews, private letters, and published writing.

With over 35 new interviews and never-before seen archival material, What She Said is an unvarnished portrait of a pioneer who was both admired and resented for what she said about art in an era of great moviemaking.

Voiced by Sarah Jessica Parker, featuring Alec Baldwin, Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola, Paul Schrader, David O. Russell, Camille Paglia, John Boorman, David Edelstein, Molly Haskell, Greil Marcus, and many more.
