Hitchcock is the most-daring avant-garde film-maker in America today.

The emotional elevation of the film is due in no small measure to the extraordinarily engaging performances of Anne Bancroft as the wife-mother-mistress, Dustin Hoffman as the lumbering Lancelot, and Katherine Ross as his fair Elaine.

I never argue with people about movies.

There's a part of me that looks beyond everything now.

Tokyo Sonata speaks to us, with feeling and passion, as one of the most eloquent statements on the world today that we are likely to see in this moviegoing year.

I hate to go out on a limb after only one viewing, but Nashville strikes me as Altman's best film, and the most exciting dramatic musical since Blue Angel.

I was a solipsist and a narcissist and much too arrogant. I have a lot more compassion now, but it took a long time.
