Enjoyed this interview with film critic legend Jonathan Rosenbaum. He talks about his willingness to move between different art forms, the Reaganist logic pervading culture that falsely contends markets can be predicted, and his optimism about criticism in the face of everything.
The real issue—and it becomes almost a moral issue—is how much of an active as opposed to passive attitude one has in relationship to one’s own culture, to what extent one has to build one’s own culture, or to what extent one becomes the passive recipient of what somebody is shoveling in your direction. I think that’s really the issue. And I don’t think people are willing to look at it that way. They’re always trying to put it in terms that are less challenging to the public. There’s a certain kind of way in which Americans, particularly, are spoiled. They’re treated like prima donnas about their culture. And the products and the advertisements encourage them to be prima donnas and not to look too closely at how much of a role one is playing. If one’s not seeing any good movies—to say that’s the fault of the film industry is incredibly arrogant, because that means that you’re saying that you’ve seen all the films that you could possibly like and decided that they’re not any good. But how can anybody in the world make that statement now? There’s just too much out there.
