Summary: Unpopular Critic on a Popular Art
Comment: From the polite distance of his home in Sweden, the Englishman Vernon Young quietly established himself as one of the greatest critics of film during the medium's most tumultuous decades - the '60s & '70s - when the roseate promises of Truffaut, Antonioni, and Bergman went unfulfilled, to be replaced by the isolated, tenuous successes of Tavernier, Wertmuller, and (one of his own favorites) Jan Troell. Remote from the notorious in-fighting of the New York critical scene, in which Stanley Kauffmann, Pauline Kael and John Simon reduced film reviewing to a blood sport, Young commented - selectively - on a film scene which had driven some spectators away from film completely. Long out of print, his two books On Film and Cinema Borealis (his brilliant Bergman study) have finally been supplanted by this direly needed overview, gathering together his far-flung reviews in one invaluable volume. I am certain it will at last convince everyone that Young belongs on the list of film critics which includes Otis Ferguson, Robert Warshow and James Agee.
