Pauline Kael Biographer: Why Writing About the Legendary Film Critic Was a 'Tremendous Challenge' (Q&A)

Brian Kellow has been receiving praise for his biography of legendary film critic Pauline Kael, which hits stores Thursday. In the book, titled Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark, the writer sheds lights on light on the voice that championed Bonnie and Clyde,"her failed Hollywood adventure and her battles with William Shawn.our editor recommendsPauline Kael: A Life in the Dark: Book ReviewHow Hollywood Seduced and Abandoned Critic Pauline Kael (Exclusive Book Excerpt)NY Film Festival Wrap: Special Events, Fortuitous Encounters and Spontaneous CombustionHow Pauline Kael Might Vote: No on 'Social Network,' Maybe on 'Black Swan'Pauline Kael's Editor: 'She'd Laugh at 'Black Swan,' Vote for 'The Fighter' Kellow sat down with The Hollywood Reporter's chief film critic Todd McCarthy to talk about the challenges involved in writing the book, her naivete when it came to Hollywood and what didn't make the book. The Hollywood Reporter: What first lit up the idea in you to embark on this project? Kellow: I began reading Pauline Kael's reviews when I was around 13. She had a voice that spoke to me immediately. I read her for years and committed great chunks of her reviews to memory. I prefer to write biographies that to some extent represent fresh territory. Setting down Pauline's life seemed like a tremendous challenge -- which it was, as it turned out. BOOK REVIEW: Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark THR:Has there ever been a biography of a film critic before? What about critics in other fields? What made writing about a critic, someone who by nature is a reactor, different from the other subjects you've tackled? Kellow: I don't know that there has been a biography of a movie critic until now. There have been biographies of theater critics -- Kathleen Tynan wrote a wonderful one about her husband, Kenneth. One of my favorite aspects of working on Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark was the chance to track the influences that helped form her taste and style. Also, writing this book gave me a great opportunity to delve into the film history of the 1960s and '70s. It was exciting to show how what was happening on the screen really was, to a great extent, Pauline's life. THR: Other than Pauline's published writing, what other material existed in archives or her personal collection for you to draw upon? Letters, diaries, datebooks, etc.? Kellow: I had great luck in having access to Pauline's extensive archive at the Lilly Library at Indiana University in Bloomington. It's a treasure trove. There are very few letters from Pauline herself, but she seems to have saved nearly every letter she received -- even letters from fans and readers. She always said she didn't want a biography written, but she certainly saw to it that her life was meticulously catalogued, so I'm not sure I believe her. EXCLUSIVE BOOK EXCERPT: How Hollywood Seduced and Abandoned Critic Pauline Kael THR: The early life material is particularly fascinating. How did you learn about her childhood, family,early responses to literature and movies, her difficult relationships at Berkeley and subsequent struggles before belatedly breaking through professionally? Kellow: Research. I went to Petaluma, Calif., and learned a great deal about the community of Jewish chicken ranchers in which she grew up. I was also very lucky: I found her ex-husband, Edward Landberg, who was still living in Berkeley. He was her only husband, although she liked to confuse people by telling them she had been married three times. As her daughter Gina said, "She loved a good story." I was also very lucky in rounding up a lot of people who had worked with her when she was programming the Berkeley Cinema Guild, the nation's first twin art house. That period of the mid- to late 1950s is one of my favorite parts of the book. THR: I never got the sense that Pauline was ever really in love with anyone. And nearly all the relationships she did have, with men who were essentially gay, were set-ups for disaster. How did you come to see view her emotional life? Did she just sublimate everything else to movies? Kellow: I think Pauline was in love early on. I certainly think she was in love with the poet Robert Horan, who was gay. But I think she felt, quite early, that love between two people never lasted. And let's face it, often it doesn't! I think she learned early on not to trust in love. Her love of the movies was something else. That she could count on, and trust. I've tried not to hammer the whole seduction-of-the-movies idea too hard in my book. But there's no escaping it. PHOTOS: Netflix's 10 Most-Rented Movies of All Time THR: You mention that in earlier years she was constantly writing little plays, stories, screen ideas she'd send to Hollywood and so on. Did you read much of her creative writing in these areas? Was there any merit to any of it? Any way you can describe it? Kellow: Pauline would be the first to admit that her attempts at creative writing weren't very good. And they aren't. I've read carefully through all the pieces that survive. They're arch and full of ideas and attitudes, but they just don't move dramatically. The characters just don't have the breath of life. Related Topics Pauline Kael 1 2 next last

Photo: Does Scarlett Johansson Look Like Our Sexiest Movie Alien Yet?

Over the course of her career, Scarlett Johansson has played a sexy Dutch muse, a sexy clone, a sexy journalism student, a sexy Boleyn sister and a sexy, spandex-clad Roman spy. (She is so sexy that David Fincher did not cast her in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for fear that audiences wouldn’t be able “to wait for her to take her clothes off.”) So it’s not surprising that in Jonathan Glazer’s upcoming film Under The Skin, the bombshell doesn’t just play an alien — she plays an alien who uses a voluptuous human body to ensnare male prey. Take a look at the first photo of Johansson in character to see how she stacks up against cinema’s other most titillating extraterrestrials. Here, Johannsson seems to be channeling a few different sexy alien attributes: the ultimate femme fatale quality of Natasha Henstridge’s Sil in Species with the edginess of Milla Jovovich’s Leeloo in The Fifth Element with the total disregard for PETA-approved outerwear of Alex Pettyfer’s John Smith in I Am Number Four. Do you think that makes her the sexiest movie extraterrestrial of them all. Before weighing in below, be sure to consider Jeff Bridges in Starman? Under The Skin — not to be confused with Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In — will be the first feature from Glazer since 2004’s Birth starring Nicole Kidman. Adapted from Michael Faber’s novel of the same title, Under The Skin stars Johansson as Isserley, an extraterrestrial sent to Earth by a rich corporation on her planet to pick up unwary hitchhikers. Through her terrestrial adventures though, Isserley ultimately meets a man who convinces her to change her view on hitchhikers and breaks her heart. Obviously. Under The Skin is currently shooting in Scotland. [ICYDK via Playlist]

Toronto: Content Acquires Foreign Territories On Lovely Molly

Content has acquired foreign rights on Lovely Molly, the genre film written and directed by Blair Witch Project‘s Eduardo Sanchez. A domestic distribution deal is coming. Lovely Molly made its debut in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto Film Festival last month. The title character (Gretchen Lodge) is a newlywed who returns to her long abandoned family home and is hit with scary reminders of her nightmarish childhood that quickly color her new life. She snaps, basically, into a descent into an evil that is one part psychosis and another part possession. WME Global’s Graham Taylor and and BHDRL’s Stuart Rosenthal made the deal. The film’s produced by Robin Cowie, Gregg Hale, Jane Fleming, and Mark Ordesky. The intention is to employ the same kind of viral marketing that helped turned Blair Witch into such a big hit. “We were shocked by Gretchen Lodge’s extraordinary performance, it’s truly a sensational debut, in this powerfun and intense film from Eduardo Sanchez,” Content’s Jamie Carmichael said. “We’re delighted to be working with the Haxan and Amber teams on what promises to be a highly innovative and compelling campaign.” Content will sell the film at next week’s AFM. After the eye-opening $54 million opening weekend of Paranormal Activity 3, there should be a captive audience.

'Paranormal Activity 3': By the Numbers

As you may have read earlier on Friday, Tim Burton is designing a balloon for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade this year. Spoiler: it looks exactly like what you'd expect a balloon designed by Tim Burton to look like. But how did the prolific director wind up earning this prestigious -- if slightly unexpected -- honor? Find out that and four other fun facts ahead. 1. The balloon has a fast-food friendly name... Burton named the balloon "B. Boy," though friends can simply refer to him (it?) as "B." 2. ...as well as an intricate backstory dreamed up by Burton himself. As the 'Alice in Wonderland' relayed to NY Times writer Dave Itzkoff, "B. Boy" has quite a history. According to an origin story dreamed up by Mr. Burton, B. was created, Frankenstein's monster-style, from the leftover balloons used in children's parties at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. Forbidden from playing with other children because of his jagged teeth and crazy-quilt stitching, B. retreated to a basement lair, where he obsesses over Albert Lamorisse's film 'The Red Balloon' and dreams that he, too, will be able to fly someday. 3. Parade organizers wooed Burton for quite some time... Burton has been a sort-of Moby Dick for parade organizers, as they've been trying to get him to create a balloon in the parade since 2004. The efforts ramped up after Burton's successful exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in the spring of 2010. Eventually, they even showed Burton illustrations from Tony Sarg, a balloon designer in the '20s and '30s who used an aesthetic similar to the director. 4. ...and then only had one request. "The only guideline we gave him is: Try to stay away from something skinny and pointy," Macy's parade creative director Bill Schermerhorn told the Times. 5. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are not involved. Yet. [via NYT/ArtsBeat] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook

We weren't expecting to tell you about new projects starring Clint Eastwood anytime soon, given that the all-rounder announced his retirement from acting following Gran Torino.Eastwood decided to focus his talents on directing instead, so it's great to be able to report that he will return in front of the camera in Trouble With The Curve.The baseball movie features an ageing scout who is losing his eyesight and sets out on one last trip with his daughter to check out a hot prospect.Eastwood hasn't acted in a film that was directed by anyone but himself since In The Line Of Fire in 1993.

Suit vs. Cinemark reinstated

A legal appeal by Palm Desert, Calif.'s Cinemas Palme d'Or arthouse theater has the potential to open bookings by independent theaters if the desert plex prevails. Cinemas Palme d'Or is a 10-plex owned by radio host Steve Mason, actor Bryan Cranston, producer Alise Benjamin-Mauritzson and theater operator Brian Tabor. The cinemas sued Century Theaters (later purchased by Cinemark) in 2006, saying the large circuit was denying bookings to the arthouse -- a practice known as circuit dealing -- through Century's threats to retaliate against distribs by denying them critical runs in other markets. Though the initial suit was dismissed in state superior court in 2008, the California State Court of Appeals recently ruled to reinstate the suit, overturning the lower court's decision. Last week, the court denied a motion by Cinemark for a rehearing, opening the door to resume the discovery process so the trial can proceed in Los Angeles Superior Court. "I believe this case has a chance to really impact our industry and help to preserve independent theaters all over the country," co-owner Steve Mason said in a statement. Although Cinemas Palme d'Or said bookings became somewhat easier after the suit was filed, the partners said it continues to be an issue. The multiplex is currently showing studio releases such as "Contagion" and "The Help." Mason said the cinemas have been able to book only very small releases, with Cinemark booking most commercial releases into the nearby River multiplex. Cinemark, meanwhile, has claimed its business practices are lawful and that the appellate court ruling is contrary to modern antitrust law. Distribution executives may be called to testify during the next round in court. Other independent theater owners, who likewise feel at a disadvantage to the major theater chains, are following the case, a favorable ruling in which could help level the playing field for smaller exhibs.

Kristin Cavallari Can get the Boot on Dwts

Kristin Cavallari Do not let the scattered boos within the audience fool you: The Dwts crowd wasn't everything upset when reality star Kristin Cavallari was told she was headed for your slopes. There's nothing near the outrage displayed throughout DWTS's most shocking elimination ever, in Season 5, when the super-gifted and full of personality Disney kid, Sabrina Byran (also became a member of by professional Mark Ballas), was sent packing.No, aside from mind judge Len Goodman crying foul, it had been small wave of protest over saying goodbye with a worthy competitor when several others - including Chaz Bono, Carson Kressley and Nancy Sophistication - don't have half of her dancing ability. But you, she didn't attract enough votes to stay.It may be because Cavallari started the show in defensive mode, telling audiences the first evening that "I'm not a real bitch," after playing one effectively round the Slopes. Or even for the reason that her personal story on Monday evening, which featured dances based on "The Key Year of My Existence," couldn't hold a candle with a wounded Iraqi war veteran (R.J. Martinez), a divorcee talk show host who handles to get rid of her home in the fire (Ricki Lake), a youthful child adoring his deceased father (Make the most of Kardashian) or perhaps the social isolation and fear one should overcome when one discovers they are gay (Kressley) or wants to become different gender (Chaz). Cavallari's finest hurdle was choosing involving the entertainment industry go to college. "Maybe my story wasn't emotional enough," states Cavallari.Or well-known enough. "I didn't know who she was," mentioned one lady inside the crowd Tuesday evening. "Therefore I won't miss her."What wound up getting everybody else excited was hearing that Cher are available in everyone else next Monday evening to cheer on her behalf account boy, who steered obvious of elimination once again despite finding yourself in the finish in the leader board. Another crowd-pleasing news was that former professional Julianne Hough, that is an actress, will return on Tuesday for results evening incorporated in her own publicity push for your remake of "Footloose." Hough will dance along with her co-star inside the movie, Kenny Wormald.
