[lbo-talk] more on why movies suck

[Joanna]

Well, of course, it's not just the Russians and the German, although in 
the twenties and thirties, it kind of was. Then in the forties and 
fifities, the French, Italian, and English. Then in the sixties, the 
Japanese, Satyajit Ray.....and then, I don't know.

I can't figure out if there has actually been an American Eisenstein or 
De Sica. I'm not saying  it necessarily matters.

I know that Citizen Kane gets the nod for the great American art film, 
but I can't believe that this film, which I only once managed to get 
through without falling asleep, is it.
