Film Comment Talk: Paul Schrader
Rare is the filmmaker who also writes vastly influential film criticism, but writer-director Paul Schrader has done just that. In addition to writing Taxi Driver and directing his own body of films—including his gobsmacking latest, First Reformed—Schrader has also been a vital critical voice as a critic and editor and, through influential articles like his 2006 piece on the film canon and his survey of yakuza cinema, a vital piece of Film Comment history. His seminal book Transcendental Style in Film, recently released in a new edition that also reckons with “slow cinema,” is yet another key text in the Schrader canon. To celebrate his new film, his book‘s updated edition, and his work for Film Comment, we are honored and delighted to welcome Paul Schrader for a discussion that brings filmmaking and criticism together on one stage.
