    Look, no less a critic than Pauline Kael said movies are a shallow art & what you see on the surface is what they are all about. And yet some filmmakers (ones that Kael didn't particular like: Kubrick, the Coens) work in other ways & reward close re-watching

        The question with Tarantino is whether he's like Kael favorite like De Palma (all surface, all visceral reaction) or if there is some Kubrickian intelligence at work. Reasonable people can disagree on this.

        Kubrick being the ultimate example of someone who made very deep films that are also frequently hilariously literal and unsubtle

        One of her problems is that she liked to watch herself write more than she liked to closely watch the movies themselves. A brilliant stylist but a highly flawed critic.

        this is the kind of critic that thinks paul verhoeven movies should be taken at face value. don’t boost them.

        movies can mean lots of things without authorial intent behind them. see, e.g., the working method of every single piece of literary criticism written since c. 1981.

        If you don't like the Coens... Pure Americana filmography.
