In Reply to: Directing style posted by Auricle on March 7, 2005 at 06:55:27:
Your comments remind of Pauline Kael's view of the directing style of "Ivan the Terrible"...something to the effect of "you keep thinking someone is going to sing, and towards the end of Part I, someone does, in a terrific sequence." (This is not a direct quote of Ms Kael, as my books are still in storage, but you get the gist of her comments).A "moving frieze"? An apt title for the style. And you are right, the style is perfect for the subject matter.

whether I agreed with her or not. Compared with many of her contemporaries (Judith Christ, Rex Reed, Archer Winston, et al) she was an absolute delight. John Simon was also a delight but was often flat, bloody over the top*. Alas, he seems confined to theatre these days.Come to think of it, compared to today's crop Ms. Kael was a delight as well.
* but as a grammarian someone certainly worth a read.
